Xano Raises $5m to Prove No-Code Can Scale 🚀

We are thrilled to announce that we've raised $5 million to prove that No-Code can scale! We'd like to thank our amazing community of users for all the support and trust thus far -- we could not have done it without everyone. This funding will help us continue to improve Xano and bring you the best backend on the market. 

You can read the full details on our most recent round of fundraising and how it will help us achieve our mission to empower anyone to create scalable, world-class software.

Xano JavaScript SDK ⚡

The Xano JavaScript SDK has officially launched making it easier to connect your Xano APIs with JavaScript. The JS SDK is built in pure TypeScript. Under the hood, the SDK uses Axios, which is supported by all modern browsers and allows it to be compatible with NodeJS.

Access the Xano JS SDK from GitLab or find it on Xano.com/connect.

New Community Site 🦾

We launched our brand-new Community site! The Community is a resource that helps everyone ask questions, find answers, and seek help.

With the new site, we've dedicated categories to discussing and asking questions about your favorite No-Code front-ends and finding experts to help with your Xano project. You can earn points, climb the leaderboard, and earn badges by participating in discussions. An enhanced elastic search enables you to pinpoint exactly what you're looking for and easily find accepted answers to questions. All this and so much more are on our new Community site!

Connect Center and Webflow Connect 🔌

Introducing our brand new Connect Center. The Connect Center will manage official integration with complementary tools. In tandem, we launched the first addition to the Connect Center: Webflow Connect!

You can connect Webflow to Xano via the Account page, once completed open a workspace you wish to use with Webflow and navigate to the Connect Center to enable Webflow. Once completed, a Webflow API Request will be available in the Function Stack to interact with Webflow as seamlessly as ever.

For the full breakdown of connecting Xano to Webflow and leveraging the Webflow API Request, check out the documentation and watch the tutorial below.
