Reflecting on a Transformative 2024

As we conclude 2024, BoardX has made significant strides in our mission to transform team collaboration into AI-powered co-creation. This year, we achieved several key milestones: the successful launch of our AI Store Beta, the introduction of advanced Memory Support, and the complete refactoring of our frontend and backend systems. Additionally, we began rolling out our platform to non-profit organizations and initiated revenue generation through Pro user subscriptions. These accomplishments have strengthened our technical foundation, paving the way for future innovations and the development of new AI-driven features.

We have also expanded our community of developers and innovators. These partnerships and our growing educational initiatives and thriving prompt engineering community of over 2,400 members highlight the real-world impact of our collaborative approach to AI innovation.

Join us on January 17, 2025, for our Year in Review event as we celebrate these achievements and unveil our exciting plans for the year ahead.

His enthusiasm for the library honed his skills in JavaScript and canvas technologies, leading him to contribute to the community actively. Over time, Andrea has played a pivotal role in fixing bugs, adding features, and supporting developers, eventually becoming a contributor, maintainer, and admin of the Fabric.js repository.
