Ever Gauzy vs Sling: at a glance
What is Ever Gauzy?
Gauzy's React rewrite becomes a tenant-level switch, and its AI chat learns to listen
Ever Gauzy is shipping at a punishing rate — eleven tags in 48 hours, from v111.35.14 to v111.36.5. Almost all of that traffic is CI hardening and same-day hotfixes; the substance sits in a single tag, v111.36.0. That release adds a tenant-wide switch between the Angular and React front ends, ships the React Time Tracking dashboard at parity with its Angular original, and puts speech-to-text into the AI chat behind eight new provider plugins.
What is Sling?
A twice-monthly scheduling explainer mill; the product itself never appears.
Sling publishes on the 1st and 15th of each month, alternating between shift-scheduling concepts (shift differentials, the DuPont rotation, schedule types) and general people-management listicles. The newest entry is a 47-item list of employee improvement areas. Across the full visible window, going back to March, not one entry describes a change to the scheduling product.

◆ Current state
Ever Gauzy is shipping at a punishing rate — eleven tags in 48 hours, from v111.35.14 to v111.36.5. Almost all of that traffic is CI hardening and same-day hotfixes; the substance sits in a single tag, v111.36.0. That release adds a tenant-wide switch between the Angular and React front ends, ships the React Time Tracking dashboard at parity with its Angular original, and puts speech-to-text into the AI chat behind eight new provider plugins.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs are running in parallel. The React migration has crossed from internal port to a customer-visible choice, which means Gauzy now carries both UIs and every ported dashboard tightens the case for retiring Angular. The AI chat continues to extend the plugin-per-provider architecture it established back in v111.1.0, this time into voice rather than text. The tag stream around both is dominated by CI work — credential scrubbing, registry refactors, runner timeouts — suggesting the build pipeline is the current bottleneck.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Angular dashboards ported to React behind the Preferred-UI switch, one module at a time, and further voice provider plugins added to the existing bring-your-own-key pattern.
Sling
5.0HR
A twice-monthly scheduling explainer mill; the product itself never appears.
◆ Current state
Sling publishes on the 1st and 15th of each month, alternating between shift-scheduling concepts (shift differentials, the DuPont rotation, schedule types) and general people-management listicles. The newest entry is a 47-item list of employee improvement areas. Across the full visible window, going back to March, not one entry describes a change to the scheduling product.
◆ Where it's heading
The topic mix is drifting away from scheduling mechanics toward broad management and restaurant-operations content, which widens search reach but moves further from what the product does. The fixed twice-monthly rhythm and templated meta-description ledes mark this as a content calendar running independently of engineering. This feed will not show product movement.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next entries on or near the 1st and 15th, continuing the alternation between scheduling terminology and restaurant-management listicles. No sparks will come from this source while it carries no release notes.
