Hey everyone! I'm here with a final announcement rounding out our Retool Resolution Roundtable. And happy Valentine's Day! Seems fitting to share our appreciation and love for this growing community today :heart_decoration:

First, a drumroll before I announce the members of our Retool Resolution Roundtable, comprised of problem-solvers and learning facilitators who contributed more than 3 solutions since January 8th!

Congratulations to each of you! Your solutions will live on to help many a builder in the future, and we appreciate the energy and learnings you bring to our community forum :tada:

The 20 folks above can expect to see your corresponding badges assigned here in the forum by the end of this week.

For those in the Hat Tip, ToolTip Tactician, and Golden Giver tiers, stay tuned -- I'll be reaching out via DM to coordinate where to send your swag items and confirm which account to apply Retool credits to.

AND a huge shoutout and thank you to the 83 other contributors who shared at least 1-2 solutions here in the forum! @Resolution_Roundtable_Participants_Jan24 you all help build this community to help each other learn.

Community Builder of the Month

There are so many here in the forum who show genuine care when helping others learn and find solutions to hurdles when building in Retool.

Over the past month or so, @bobthebear has truly stood out! Your comments often convey that you're focused on helping others learn, and your replies give off an approachable and friendly vibe. You often collaborate on the same thread with other solution contributors like @Oscar_Ortega @dcartlidge @ScottR and others, building crucial steps toward a solution, helping gather details, or sharing a quick take that progresses the topic even if you're not the one who ultimately posts the final solution.

Some of our favorite bobthebear comments that demonstrate the kind of collaboration and learning we want this community to continue to be all about:

  • Explaining the 'why' behind your suggestions, like how you approach using transformers in Retool
  • Sharing the pro's and con's of a suggested solution
  • Sharing a friendly note to let someone know you're available to help them understand a query
  • Encouraging forum norms like marking solutions
  • Overall being super humble in every comment and showing others that you're continuously learning new things too, creating a supportive environment. There are too many examples of this to pick just one!

Not only that, you've shared great ideas and feedback with our team of Community Support Engineers at Retool on how we can improve the overall forum experience(as just one example: https://community.retool.com/t/more-badges-to-earn-please/31319 which contributed to the prizes included in this challenge, and will keep shaping our future badge creation and programming this year).

Congratulations, @bobthebear, on earning the Community Builder award :building_construction: :hammer_and_wrench: :teacher: :handshake: :pray: :heart: We're grateful that you're part of this community! A special Community Builder badge is coming your way.

What's next?

As mentioned in our 'Welcome to 2024' topic, we'll be running more frequent Challenges of all kinds this year. Currently, we have one happening now that Tess announced here:
https://community.retool.com/t/february-challenge-sh-ai-ring-what-you-re-building-with-ai/33860?u=kbn :sparkles: :brain:

Please do ^check it out^ and consider contributing! Share any Feature Requests or Community Show & Tell entries here in the fofum with the ai tag. Could be about how you've used AI with Retool so far -- including our lower-lift features, like Ask AI. Did Ask AI help you out with some tricky syntax? Tell us about it!

Looking forward to hearing what you're learning and what additional AI features you want to see :mag_right:

Again, well done everyone on our first challenge of the year!
