Guides and a new home for content
A couple weeks ago I updated the home page to include a list of questions that PDX Tools can help answer, as I feel like there are so many features that it is hard to keep track of them (even for myself). If features were phrased as questions, I hoped it’d be more obvious to users what PDX Tools offers. Sure, questions as a form of marketing is cool, but what about the answers? Hopefully with this new rollout, the ease of creating content will allow me to link the questions with tailored guides.

Today marks the culmination of nearly a half a year’s worth of work. A new version is upon us and it’s the biggest yet.

Not to be outdone, PDX Tools is completely open source. Two huge changes and we haven’t even touched on features.
