We just pushed out our last big batch of Rowboat improvements and fixes before the end of the year.
Fun fact: the most long-lived issue that we managed to close in this time was one that had been open for 2 years and 4 months. Feels good to finally get that one resolved!

Rowboat makes it easy to explore data by filtering down to different subsets.
In this UFO sightings dataset (rowboat.net/f/uzu782mq), ppen the Find tool and filter the “datetime_time” column with “7/4” to see how many sightings happened on July 4th.

A few weeks ago, we survived another "Fathom Song Guessing Game" — my favorite day of the year when we all get to know each other a bit better via our musical selections.
This year's theme was UNLEASH THE BEAST.
We have since managed to re-leash our beasts, and the office is back in order.
