The latest release of Strapi simplifies the user experience by removing modules, enhancing the interaction between local applications and Strapi Studio, and introducing improvements across Strapi's ecosystem. The feedback from the community, particularly from contributors on Slack and GitHub, has been instrumental in these updates. Strapi, initially created by Pierre, Aurélien, and Jim in 2015, continues to thrive as an open-source, remote, and people-first project, with Pierre also engaging in personal interests such as windsurfing and mountain biking.
