Flipidea 3.0.6 release notes

We're delighted to announce the release of Flipidea 3.0.6, which includes feature releases, new updates and issues fixes.

Released on 24 August 2021 - by founders, for founders.

New

• Serverless web application framework (https://app.flipidea.co/): we upgraded our web application framework to serverless architecture so that our platform supports fast growth, scalability, and cost efficiency, as well as to streamline data transfers.
• Single login authentication: you no longer need to log in multiple times as we're now serving through a single serverless infrastructure.
• Taxonomy of industry and categories: we developed a synergised taxonomy of industry and categories to index our large datasets of businesses at the global industry context.

Updated

• Re-designed and unified serverless architectures: we adopted serverless computing to build and run both our static website and dynamic web application on a single serverless infrastructure to prevent slowness and latency in data transfers.
• Review order form (for registered users): even though registered users are logged in but we don't want to risk any chances, so we require user tier validation for additional security protection.
• Database (investors collection): we organised our investors collection for your ease of browsing - very-early stage, early stage, growth stage, late stage, and post-IPO stage.
• Database (financial data collection): we've been preparing our large financial datasets (decades' worth) to be readable and presentable.
• Dashboard (accessible via Menu): we turned www.flipidea.co into a static website (forever free) and moved our Dashboard button to the side nav bar, accessible via the Menu button.
• Web security configuration: with our new serverless infrastructure, we had to upgrade our web security to fend off skynet's malicious bots attacks.
• Tab renamed: we renamed Release Notes to What's New so people can easily find and read our latest updates, bugs fixes, and new releases.

Fixed

• Postmortem analysis (data visualisation - reasons for shutdown): fixed the back-end data processing and transfer issues, and now the chart works.
• Thank you page (after payment): you paid, of course we must say, 'THANK YOU', right? 😛
• UI/UX fixes: as usual, made some minor fixes here and there.
• User login issue: we also resolved a user's login issue, she's happy now.

• Co-investors analysis: this is still under maintenance.
• Funding sources: we're rebuilding the table feature for better experience.
