Issue 87
Hey folks
There's some exciting news this week with an update on Perch 4. A preview release! It's great to know that this is almost ready.
In other news, I've been scoping a new project that will use the Members app together with two third party add-ons to create a grant application management portal for a client. It could be a really exciting job and demonstrates that Perch is very extensible. In fact, a lot of great work has been done to extend Perch. If you want to find out more, the Perchology Links repo on Github has a list of third party add-ons and is well worth browsing!
That's it for now. See you next time.
