Hello

I have something to brag about.

In the middle of last year I've published my first AppExchange app - Currency Manager & Updater
It was initially free for a couple of months.
There were several companies that gave it a try in sandboxes, and some of them installed in also in production instances.

I've recently changed it to a paid app (but existing subscribers who used free version keep it for free).
This week the first company decided to make a purchase!
So if you need to have currency rates automatically updated - try it for free in sandbox or get a 30-day trial in production.

But let's get back to links in this release :)
This time I also kept a separate section for posts related to Spring'23 release.
