Smokin’ Hot New Look

We’ve given our product site a long overdue refresh, with new branding and a style that leans heavily into our playful & inspiring theme of the craft of blacksmiths and their all-important tools.

In addition to that, we’ve rebuilt the Forge client app from scratch, moving away from our super old Ember JS app to a new Vue JS based app (if you’re interested in that sort of thing).

The new Forge app for Developers brings everything you loved about the ease and simplicity of Forge, along with some clear improvements to the dashboard and navigation, while also giving us the opportunity to keep learning and iterating.
