I feel like every release except one for the past year has been about dashboards. Is this something a lot of users care about?
Absolutely. While I love fully automated solutions there is also stuff that needs an user interface more complex than just a button. I love how much easier it has become to create personalized dashboards that even can adjust themselves based on the situation.
Everybody ITT talking about dashboards when the real killer feature is global variables within automations.
Yes! Such a small throwaway line for something that really makes automations way better. I had a Choose block based Notify automation which now has a single Notify action at the end with just the variables being declared in the Choose options instead of having the Notify action specified in each option.
