qsVariable now archived

After four years I have now archived my GitHub repository for the qsVariable extension.

The extension is now included in the dashboard bundle, available with the Qlik Sense installation, and available in Qlik Open Source repositories. It is also supported by Qlik.

This has been a fun project to work on, the functionality it brings was something many customers wanted, and it quickly became one of the most commonly used extensions. It was first realeased over four years ago, in the first days of 2015.

The fact that Qlik now delivers a set of extensions with the product, and supports them, is of course great for customers. One of the few frustrating periods during the last years was when there was a Qlik Sense version that actually broke the extension. That will not happen again.

Thanks to everybody who has contributed to the project with suggestions and in some cases even some code!

All good things must end

IKEA store. Not really where I worked.

After more than two years at IKEA, my work with them has now ended. It has been a fantastic journey, with the introduction of a global Qlik Sense dashboard with support both for desktop and mobile and a set of Qlik Sense extensions with the IKEA profile and covering their needs (well, perhaps not everything, but quite a lot of them). I am very happy to have been a part of this, I think we have been able to do amazing things.

My work at Qlik continues. The Advanced Authoring project moves forward, hopefully you will see some really interesting stuff in upcoming Qlik Sense releases. Looks like I will continue helping them a few months more. After that I’m not yet book, so if you ahve an interesting project starting after the summer where you need help with Qlik Sense development, please let me know.

Apart from that I’m in some discussions about other work in the Qlik Sense area And of course, I’m preparing for Master Summit in Stockholm!
