Stefan from Ahoi.dev | The Pier #61 | August 16, 2024Hi there,
Welcome to the 61st issue of The Pier. The Events Calendar has just announced one of the most requested add-ons for Event Tickets ever – the ability to create seating plans for your events. You will be able to create seating plans, assign seats, set prices based on specific seats or sections such as VIP or general admission, and more. Currently in the product name finding phase.
Shortly after the release of Attribution 2.0, Usermaven has introduced a powerful dual-layer approach to attribution that seamlessly combines content and channel performance analysis with cutting-edge AI insights.
We would also like to welcome uiXpress to The Port.
Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
