Happy Friday! We missed being back at this time, and apparently, so did you. We are now back at the primetime Friday slot that you know and love. Now onto the Changelog…

When Angelo, our Support Engineer, joined Railway about a year and a half ago, his first project was working on a new Help page. We’ll spare you the major history lesson but before he joined all it pointed to was our Discord.

After that shipped, we never touched it. 

The questions began collecting dust, the links rotted and developed cavities, and the design looked extremely dated compared to other parts of the site.

Now after a visit from designer and part-time dentist Jitachi, we are pleased to announce our New Help page:

Refreshed content thanks to our PMM David!

An additional reference to our Knowledge Base (billing issues be gone!)

We hope you never have to visit this page, but we wanted to make sure that all users had all the resources they need to succeed on Railway. There’s more to come with our support offerings in the near future so stay tuned!

Careful eyes might have noticed that the header screenshot changed on the Help page. 

Our designer Jitachi pitched a new design that refreshes and modernized the home page for the Docs. Repeat visitors to the docs might have also noticed that it hasn’t been touched since late 2021. 

(Although the content is much different from then -- we would never let you down with outdated docs.) 

A reminder that our Docs are Open-Source, PRs very much appreciated.

, including many fixes that were highly requested:

Software Engineer Faraz also shipped a number of under the hood upgrades to the templates system in preparation for an upcoming feature. 

We welcome Adarsh, our new Support Engineer who joined the team this week

We have upgraded the payment linking flow, now you can unlink your attached payment card from the upgrade to Developer Plan flow

Added a new empty state for autocomplete when no variables are available

Percy, our Discord bot, got a number of under the hood improvements to make sure it can run for 100,000 more miles
