✨ Retool’s new look!

[kbn]

Hi Retool Community friends!

You may have noticed that the look and feel here in the UI changed as of today, September 12th, 2024! This is part of Retool’s overall new look across our public facing sites.

Retool: Reimagined

Learn about Retool's new look from Justin, Head of Brand Design!

On the Retool Community team, we particularly like this excerpt from the blog:

We are standing on a bridge between product and imagination. We are discussing explorations versus realities // expectations versus dualities.
Meet us there? We tend to think that things are more (magical)(possible)(tangible) than they seem.

Every day here in the community, we come together to bridge imagination and reality with Retool -- making magic by sharing our clever implementations and creating “aha” learning moments. We actively make imagined use cases feel more possible, and building blocks feel more tangible for one another.

Thanks for being part of this collective journey every single day! Now we get to connect with each other within a cool new frontend as Retool’s brand moves into the future

Explore the new look on our Community Forum

If you’d like, here on community.retool.com you can customize your experience by choosing one of the two Themes containing the new brand color palette, font, and logo:

• Light (default) or
• Dark.

How? Go to your Profile at the top right , click the person icon , then click Preferences:

Click Interface, then toggle Light or Dark to explore which Theme you prefer to use going forward!

Feedback on a specific aspect of the new frontend? Let us know in Feature Requests or Discussion. Thanks!

Special shoutout to @jdreeves @Paulo @Tess @AbbeyHernandez who were instrumental in making our new Community Forum look a reality. A lot of work by many team members went into Retool's new look. These folks took it the crucial final mile for our community. Thank you!

Onward!

Great job everyone!

Would you like feedback in this post? I noticed when clicking a heading to link to it... The page scrolls a little too far and the heading hides under the navbar.

When I click the # there

It scrolls up like this

Thanks @khill-fbmc! We'll take feedback wherever you want to give it. I'll let the team know about this.

I was checking out dark mode and oops, no logo!!

[khill-fbmc]

I noticed this today too. It actually fluctuates much faster than the framerate shows.

More from the university login page:

If you type an email for an invite and hit Enter it does not submit but just clears the input.

Clicking the button does send an invite, but the success notification is just send_invite

Edit: Updating that it did error out for my coworker

hi @khill-fbmc, I will create a linear ticket and check out the use of the Enter key and report back.

@khill-fbmc

I was checking out dark mode and oops, no logo!!

Thank you for your feedback! Are we still not able to see the logo on Dark mode?

fixed

HI @khill-fbmc

I have put in a fix to allow for Enter or clicking the button and disabling both when the backend workflow is running. Let me know if this now works for you.

Cheers,
Chris

Wow, the new UI looks fantastic! Huge congratulations to the entire Retool team for pulling off this incredible update. As a regular contributor to the community and a long-time Retool enthusiast, I can definitely appreciate the effort that goes into merging creativity with functionality.

I particularly love the way the new design bridges imagination and reality—exactly like what we do with Retool every day! From turning complex workflows into simple, streamlined apps to enabling those “aha” moments through community knowledge sharing, it feels like the new interface will make our experiences even more seamless and inspiring.

I’m looking forward to exploring both the light and dark themes! If I notice anything or have feedback, I’ll be sure to drop it in the Feature Requests section.

Once again, amazing work @jdreeves, @Paulo, @Tess, @AbbeyHernandez, and everyone else who played a role in this. Retool just keeps getting better!
