# [Episode Three — Displaying data](/blog/displaying-data/)
|
||||
Milestone 3 has been completed. This is what we have achieved in the last ten weeks.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### UX improved
|
||||
The Auditorium for users is now annotated with explanations of all metrics as well as analytics-specific terms. It also contains an FAQ section. In general, new metrics were added and the UX was refined for users and operators.
|
||||

|
||||
These updates are already *up and running in our own instance* for users. Opt in and open the Auditorium.

|
||||
|
||||
### Working in teams
|
||||
If you want to improve your services with transparent and fair web analytics, it is very likely that you will collaborate in groups. Therefore, in a first draft we have added basic utilities for managing user logins and accounts. These tools will be further refined during milestone 4.
|
||||
|
||||
### Convenient setup
|
||||
Using the command line can be a bit intimidating. This is why we have added an in-browser setup screen for a more intuitive setup. You can now use your browser to perform the initial setup.

|
||||
|
||||
### Goodbye Choo, hello Preact
|
||||
[Choo](https://choo.io/){: target="_blank"} was a great choice to build dynamic UIs very quickly. But as the Auditorium grew, we noticed a lack of mechanisms to break interfaces into components. So we migrated the application to [Preact.](https://preactjs.com/){: target="_blank"} A good choice to use modern paradigms for programming interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ensuring integrity
|
||||
Our binaries are now signed with a GPG key. After downloading Offen, you can now check if the binary you want to use is the one we intend to distribute.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Safari now fully supported
|
||||
At the end of milestone 2 we noticed problems with the way the Safari browser stores keys. We fixed this by adding a dedicated fallback mechanism. [Give it a try.](https://www.offen.dev/get-started/)
|
||||
|
||||
### Ready in one minute
|
||||
Self-hosting is ideal for privacy focused software. Based on free resources, you can now deploy a production ready Offen instance to Heroku in a jiffy.
|
||||
<img class="screencast mt3 mb2" alt="browser setup" src="/theme/images/offen-blog-0050_oneClickDeploy.gif"/>
|
||||
We are currently considering the development of further 1-click options for platforms such as YunoHost and DigitalOcean.
|
||||

|

|
||||
### Happy Birthday to us
|
||||
Offen is now [one year old.](https://github.com/offen/offen/commit/3a50763bbd93c9c655fad002e94c340a623ee613){: target="_blank"} We made some progress on our way to develop a self hosted and transparent alternative to established web analytics tools.
|
||||
|
||||
But it is not yet the time for standing ovations. There is still a lot to be done. If you like, you can help us. *Stay tuned and provide us with your feedback.* Thanks in advance!
|
||||
|
||||
### Up next
|
||||
*Episode Four — Managing data* will feature a more fine grained account management and the collecting and implementing of first user feedback. We'll be right back.
