Version 3.0-beta

Tech stack & UI/UX updates. (Dec 13, 2025)

We’ve upgraded from Remix v2 to React Router v7, pre-rendered all pages for faster loading, and optimized both client-side and server-side caching, bringing faster data retrieval and a smoother user experience.

Additionally, we've tidied up and streamlined our internal APIs by moving from React Router resource routes to Hono, a lightweight and faster backend solution.

Version 3.0-beta is now live at next.newenergyterminal.org.

Highlights:

  • Framework Upgrade: All pages are now pre-rendered at build time, significantly improving performance and load speed.
  • API Optimization: APIs have been migrated to Hono, reducing request processing time.
  • Cache Optimization: Enhanced client-side caching reduces direct server calls, while server-side caching lowers overall response time.
  • Dashboard UI/UX Improvement: Simplified dashboard navigation for a more intuitive user experience.
  • New Dashboard Feature: Introduced a geo-mapping view for archived projects (on hold or cancelled).

Note: Minor styling issues are expected temporarily, as functionality was prioritized first. A fix will come shortly.

Version 2.0

Tech stack & data coverage updates. (Oct 25, 2024)

We have transitioned from WordPress and refactored the app using Remix and PostgreSQL to enhance user experience and app performance since August 2024.

Highlights:

  • Architecture Decoupling: Improved separation of data, content, and UI.
  • Screen Size Adjustments: The screen size is now more relaxed and less compact.
  • Redesigned Navigation: Updated header navigation, user authentication, and settings pages for smoother user journeys.
  • Database Migration: Transitioned from MySQL to Postgres for enhanced performance and flexibility.
  • Dashboard Redesign: Revamped manufacturing dashboard control panels and reorganized sectoral analyses for clearer navigation.
  • Deployment Dashboard: Temporarily taken down for future updates.

Version 1.1

Methodology & data enhancement. (April 8, 2024)

Highlights:

  • In the BI dashboard, the company is now rolled up only to the top business operator that aligns with business segments.
  • Increased battery data granularity, now available on both the BI dashboard and the manufacturing plant profile page. For example, battery cells and pack manufacturing are further broken down into EV-destined, ESS-destined, or both.
  • Added a business segmentation section to the company profile page.

Version 1.0

This marks the official release of v1. (Feb 2, 2024)

Highlights:

  • Launched the Market Recap section and its related experimental REST API.
  • Summarized data fields.
  • Implemented fixes on error handlers for a smoother user experience when exceptions are thrown during app rendering.
  • In the UI design, we moved the theme selector to the header section for added convenience.
  • Added copy-buttons for code snippets.
  • In the backend, we reorganized the code structure through autoloading and namespaces, aiming for better maintenance.
  • Implemented object caching to enhance server performance.
  • Applied fixes on SEO configurations.

Version 1.0-beta

Public beta release of the upcoming major version. (Dec 11, 2023)

We have introduced new datasets and added a variety of features to enhance data exploration. Additionally, we updated the software dependencies to their latest versions, implemented numerous optimizations for improved performance, and refined the UI/UX for a smoother experience.

Highlights:

  • Dataset onboarding (renewable portfolios, e.g. energy storage, solar, wind energy, etc.), and related dashboards & analysis.
  • New Data tool features (enabled data export, full-screen visualizations).
  • The data explorer has evolved into a data library, providing detailed raw data.
  • Created an API for remote data connection & integration.
  • Technical changes (Modulized charting library, secured API, automated data workflow).
  • Rebuilt DBMS and implemented internal data quality & completeness metrics.

Version 0.3

A minor release. (May 1, 2023)

We have rebuilt the front end in JavaScript and added several new features to enhance data exploration.

Highlights:

  • The data tool (dashboard) is now publicly accessible, allowing for a raw data view.
  • The data explorer includes search functionality and individual pages for company and manufacturing plant profiles.
  • Technical changes involve rebuilding the front end UI/UX using React JS and Tailwind CSS, with the decommissioning of Bootstrap.
  • Database updates include standardization.

Version 0.2

The first public release. (Nov 7, 2022)

For context, v0.1 was intended for internal testing and was never made public. The preparations involved initial data capturing, data model design, and a proof-of-concept using Qlik Sense.

Highlights:

  • Dataset publish (EV & stationary battery statistics).
  • UI/UX changes, redesign of the dashboard page using ECharts, DataTables, SASS and Bootstrap.
  • Technical changes (Integration of WordPress CMS, REST API, etc.).
  • Data workflow updates (Data model design, data collections, DBMS design).
