As 2023 wraps up, it's a good moment to look back at what the Avonni Components package accomplished this year. We made a real push to give Salesforce non-developers and developers better tools to build with.

February launch: a milestone on the AppExchange

The year started with the launch of Avonni Components on the Salesforce AppExchange in February. This was more than a release — it was the start of making our components available to the broader Salesforce community. The response confirmed what we already suspected: there's strong demand for practical, easy-to-use tools within the Salesforce platform.

Monthly updates: a pledge to continual improvement

Throughout 2023, we shipped updates every single month. Each release refined existing components and introduced new functionalities. That regular cadence meant our users always had access to the latest improvements.

From 40 to over 70 components

We started the year with 40 components and ended it with over 70. That growth wasn't just about adding numbers — each new component addressed a real gap in how Salesforce admins and technical architects work day to day.

Purpose-driven creation: empowering Salesforce professionals

Avonni Components was built with a clear goal: give Salesforce professionals powerful, plug-and-play building blocks. We saw the challenges admins and technical architects face when creating custom solutions, and we wanted to simplify that process with tools that are versatile and easy to integrate.

Specialized components for Experience Cloud Sites

A major highlight was the launch of 30 dedicated components built exclusively for Experience Cloud sites. These were designed to meet the specific needs of Experience Cloud users, offering customization and functionality that wasn't available before.

Incorporating over 40 customer feedback items

We actively listen to our users. In 2023, we acted on over 40 suggestions, which led to new components and meaningful improvements. Two examples:

1. Enhanced Input Pen component: We streamlined the process of saving drawings created with the Input Pen component, making it easier and more intuitive within Salesforce.
2. Upgraded Avonni Data Table: We enabled users to edit lookup fields directly within the table, which significantly speeds up data management.

These improvements came directly from your feedback. Check our roadmap and add your own suggestions.

2024 and beyond

Looking ahead, our focus stays the same: equip non-developers with the same tools as developers, all within the Salesforce platform. We're working on new developments that will keep pushing in that direction.

Wrapping up 2023: Avonni Components v4.1

As we close out 2023, we're releasing Avonni Components v4.1. This latest update brings new features designed to take the Salesforce experience further.

Avonni Components lets you build exactly what you envision without leaving the Salesforce platform.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to continuing to build and improve together in the coming year.
