Long time no hear! While we've released several new versions of Seatsurfing since the last post from August 2023, we haven't blogged about them. Let's catch up with today's release of Seatsurfing 1.19.

Here are some of the awesome new features: You can now quickly access certrain floors and spaces by direct links / QR codes. A brand-new slider allows for quickly getting an overview of the space availability in the upcoming days. Space admins can manually add and edit reservations for their users. Find out where your buddies sit at a glance. Furthermore, multiple translations made it into the new version - namely Hebrew, Romanian, Hungarian, and Dutch.

We're happy to announce the availability of Seatsurfing 1.14. Version 1.14 adds Italian translations and the ability for users to change their own password. Besides, various improvements and fixes have been implemented.

A few days ago, we've released Seatsurfing 1.13. This new version adds French translations to the user interfaces. Furthermore, we've migrated the React-based front ends from Create React App (CRA) to Next.js. The move to Next.js allows for server-side rendering, resulting in faster load times. However, this leads to a breaking change, because the front ends are not shipped with the backend Docker image anymore, but in two separate containers (admin-ui and booking-ui).

We're pleased to announce the release of Seatsurfing 1.12. The new release adds features our users have requested, such as login brute force prevention, an improved login-process for single-organization instances and more.

As of July 30, 2022, the Seatsurfing mobile apps for iOS and Android will be discontinued. We decided to focus on one state-of-the-art web booking interface, which is the existing, yet improved Web Booking UI. In order to optimize the user experience of the Web Booking UI when using mobile devices (such as phones and tablets), we've turned it into a Progressive Web App (PWA). This means, you can "install" the web app to your device's home screen and benefit from enhanced caching mechanisms.

Today we’ve released Seatsurfing Backend version 1.9.0, including Server (RESTful API), Admin UI and Booking UI. Since release 1.8 a lot of improvements were made and new features were added. For example, your own booked spaces are highlighted in floor plans, display glitches in Confluence mode have been fixed and time zone handling has been improved.

We’re happy to announce the release of Seatsurfing 1.8. The new version applies to both backend and mobile app. It adds some requested features making the lives of both administrators and users easier. Users can now set their individual booking preferences leading to even quicker bookings. Administrators can set floor plan administrators and enjoy new reporting functionalities.

Today we’ve released Seatsurfing Backend and App Version 1.7.

With version 1.7, both Seatsurfing’s app and our web booking interface got a brand new design which is much easier to use. Floor plan and search dialog have been integrated, so you can easily change your search criteria and watch the available spaces on the map update instantly. If you already know which spaces you’d like to book, you can switch to the new list mode and pick your favorite desk directly.

If you want to give Seatsurfing a try, we’ve created an easy way for you: You can now create test accounts directly on our website. In just a few seconds, your organization will be set up. You can then test Seatsurfing with up to ten users for free. Visit the sign up page to create your account.

We’re happy to announce the availability of Seatsurfing 1.5. The new version marks a big change in Seatsurfing’s operating model: Seatsurfing’s Backend is now available on Docker Hub and thus allows you to host your Seatsurfing instance on-premises and free of charge. At the same time we’ve removed the Cloud hosting option (for now). We decided to go this way as we think it’s easier for most European organization to comply with the data protection regulations when going on-premises. However, we’ll consider bringing back Seatsurfing as a Cloud-hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) at a later time.
