Instead of Release Notes - IoT Creators - 27.01.2022

Evolution
Here at IoT Creators we work in an agile way. We’ve got amazing developers and tech support on board and we like taking quick decisions after a creative discussion in our team.

As you know, the agile way of working also requires time for retrospective and time to plan improvements. It’s like when you renovate your flat now and then, get a new couch and coffee table, or even a new flat screen …

Our DEV team decided to start the new year with throwing out some old carpets and repainting the walls!
This will help us to be faster and more flexible with our service in 2022.

Now you know, why there’s no new release at the moment.
Meanwhile you can check out Afzals “2021 -> 2022” video on LinkedIN and/or reach out and let us know what adventures you plan for 2022
