At Liveblocks, we’re always looking for ways to improve our platform, and today
we’re pleased to announce new [dashboard](/dashboard) enhancements that aim to
improve the developer experience. Our latest enhancements include expanded
support for larger rooms, streamlined navigation, and the inclusion of detailed
metrics to provide deeper insights into your collaborative workflows. Let's take
a look at some of the new features.

- [Improved usage analytics](#Improved-usage-analytics)
- [Room loading up to 10x faster](#Room-loading-up-to-10x-faster)
- [Standardized navigation across the product](#Standardized-navigation-across-the-product)
- [Large room support](#Large-room-support)

## Improved usage analytics

We have added two new metrics to our analytics dashboard, daily active users and
monthly active users. This change is designed to help users better understand
the usage of the platform and track engagement over time. We have also added
localhost values to the dashboard, making it easier to track usage in
development.

## Room loading up to 10x faster

If you’ve used our [DevTools](/devtools), the new room view will look familiar:
we’ve replaced the JSON room storage view in our dashboard with a DevTools tree
that has been adapted to the platform’s design system. The code view is still
available behind a toggle.

We are now leveraging SWR hooks for data fetching, which allows for better
caching and preloading of content, reducing list-loading states and improving
the user experience. The opened room’s storage is now automatically fetched
every 10 seconds and on focus.

## Standardized navigation across the product

Our team has standardized navigation across the entire product, ensuring that
all platform components - including members, and rooms - use the same
user-friendly interface. This change simplifies the navigation process, making
it easier for users to find what they need and focus on what matters.

## Large room support

We have also made some changes to the platform that ensure that large rooms
aren’t crashing the browser or causing lag. Users can now explore even the
largest rooms effortlessly, making it a smoother experience overall.
