Weekly Wrap-up: May 9, 2025
This week, we’ve been refining how you interact with VoltBuilder in our community forums and across our website. We’ve made updates to our support & community forums aimed at making it easier for you to get help and share your ideas. And, we’re in the process of making improvements to the Uploads and Pricing pages that should roll out over the next week.
Support & Community Forum Updates
We’ve restructured the forums to make it easier to find (and give!) help. We’ve added a dedicated space for Support Requests, and clarified the purposes of our other forum categories. Our goals for these changes are to:
- Streamline Support Requests by giving you a dedicated space to ask us for help. We also set up a support request form, which asks you for key details (like build ID and error message) that will help our Support Team respond to questions more efficiently.
- Enhance community participation with clearer topic categories that make it easier for you and other community members to ask each other questions and engage in discussions that interest you.
- Improve your experience by creating spaces for you to request features and enhancements to our core service and our website. You can also vote on posts in the Feature Requests and Site Requests category to help us prioritize new features.
Website UX Improvements (Coming Next Week!)
We’re also in the process of rolling out several tweaks to the website to improve your experience:
- Updates to the Plan page will make it easier for you to manage your account tier and billing schedule.
- Updates to the Upload page include a more reliable “Cancel Process” button and more intuitive error and build ID copying.
- Updates to the Documentation will expand and update the troubleshooting docs and add new migration guides.
These changes are in testing now and should roll out next week—we’ll share details once they’re live!
Wrapping Up
That’s it for this week! Whether it’s faster support or fewer clicks to manage your account, we’re iterating based on your pain points (and our own dev headaches). Got thoughts? Drop them in the new forum categories — we’re all ears. Until next Friday, happy building!
What VoltBuilder Does
VoltBuilder converts your web projects into native Android and iOS apps. VoltBuilder is a wrapper for Apache Cordova and Ionic Capacitor, so you can add native features to your apps via Cordova and Capacitor plugins.
VoltBuilder's Key features:
- Produces native executables — for easy testing & app store publishing.
- Publish in minutes — VoltBuilder uploads directly to Google Play and the Apple App Store.
- Easily generate certificates — VoltSigner makes Android and iOS certificates. No Mac needed!
- Nothing to install — just head to the Uploads page to get building.
- Nothing to store — we don't keep your passwords, certs, or code in our cloud.
- Always up-to-date — we install and maintain the latest SDKs and tooling so you don't have to.
How to Use VoltBuilder
It's as simple as Upload, Download, Run. Done.
- Zip your web project.
- Upload it to our platform.
- Download the native app or let us deploy it to stores.
