Rafael Staib ・ January 08, 2023 ・ 3 min read

Version 3 comes with a couple of neat features, e.g. Team Workspaces, Express Middleware, PWA Support, Enterprise SSO, and more. If you would like to download Banana Cake Pop 3, go to bananacakepop.com. Now lets see what’s new in detail.

Team Workspaces

In Banana Cake Pop 1, we've introduced Personal Workspaces for individuals to keep documents safe across devices. Personal Workspaces is a free tier feature and will stay forever free. However, this time we are introducing a new feature called Team Workspaces.

Team Workspaces, as the name implies, allow teams to work together and share documents. To create Team Workspaces an Organization is required and can be created by anyone. Organization is in preview and becomes a paid feature when the preview phase ends. We'll inform you as soon as the preview phase ends so that you can decide whether to use it.

Express Middleware

We launched our first NodeJS middleware on NPM.

You can plug Banana Cake Pop to your own GraphQL server with just 2 lines of code. Also, you can define per configuration whether to use our cdn hosted version of the app or your own self hosted version, and much more.

Check out our recipes for graphql-http, graphql-yoga, and express-graphql!

Progressive Web App (PWA)

With version 3, Banana Cake Pop meets the PWA requirements, which allows the web version to be installed as an app. In Chrome on macOS, it looks like this.

Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO)

We've added Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) to Banana Cake Pop, which lets companies bring their own identity service, so that their employees can use their company logins. Please reach out to us if you're interested.

Enterprise Services

For companies, we’re introducing Banana Cake Pop enterprise services, which can be deployed under their own Azure subscription. This gives companies control over their own data. Please reach out to us if you're interested.

Insider Web Version

We brought the Insider version to the web. Get early access to new features, or even help us find that last-minute show stopper issue.
