Channels stops labelling themes and starts tracking owned, priced-up ideas.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Stitch and Tinylytics — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Stitch is running a fleet-wide Python 3.12 migration across its connector estate.
Stitch's changelog is a per-connector maintenance log, and August is dominated by one coordinated effort: moving integrations to Python 3.12, visible across Amplitude, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, SaaSOptics, AppsFlyer, Pipedrive and Google Analytics 360 inside a single week. Around it sit library bumps, metadata corrections, and a handful of genuine reliability fixes concentrated in Shopify (v3) and LinkedIn Ads (v2). The one connector to gain real capability is Workday RaaS, which picked up OAuth 2.0 and incremental sync on August 14.
Tinylytics ships weekly, and the last month has been about agents reaching the analytics
Tinylytics publishes a short changelog roughly weekly, written informally and covering several small changes at once. The August run covered path handling, bot filtering and spam controls; Ultra and MCP additions that let a user ask about their sites from the dashboard; n8n and agent hookups; and a reorganised settings hub. Entries are excerpts, so individual scope is not always visible.

The one connector to gain real capability is Workday RaaS, which picked up OAuth 2.0 and incremental sync on August 14.
This is an estate being maintained rather than a product being developed. The work divides into three streams: a runtime migration moving connectors off older Python, correctness fixes where a source API changed shape, such as Shopify metafields serialized to JSON strings and LinkedIn Ads discovery returning 404s on inaccessible accounts, and incremental hardening like token refresh on 401 during Shopify bulk polling. Nothing in this window changes what Stitch is or how it is used. The value being defended is that a long tail of connectors keeps working.
Expect the Python 3.12 sweep to continue through the remaining connectors, and further Shopify (v3) work, since two of its three entries this month address failures in bulk operation handling. Whether Workday's OAuth and incremental sync becomes a template for other v1 connectors is not yet visible in the feed.

Entries are excerpts, so individual scope is not always visible.
The through-line is making the analytics reachable from outside the dashboard — n8n, agents, MCP — while data quality work on bots and spam continues underneath. Ultra remains where the AI-facing capability lands.
Expect the MCP and agent surface to keep widening until the questions currently answerable in the dashboard can be asked from any connected client.
