We’re back!

I couldn’t do this without recognising that if you’ve been using Beach’s products or following us for a while you might be thinking - didn’t you have a community before?

You’d be absolutely correct. However, due to a problem with a payment method on our Digital Ocean account, the provider who was hosting our community forum, they wonderfully decided to delete our entire forum and database with no notice and oh, how I wish I was backing it up somewhere else. Lesson learned.

So yes, we’re back again because frankly, I miss sharing my thoughts and updates with our community of developers and makers that use our products AND because I’m really excited about what’s to come.
