What is tsibble?
tsibble shipped one release in five and a half years - the data structure is finished
tsibble defines the tidy time-series data structure that fable and feasts are built on. The design churned heavily through 2018 and 2019, settled with the 0.9.0 move onto vctrs in mid-2020, and then went quiet: the next release, 1.2.0, arrived in February 2026 with a summary() method and some tidyselect helpers.
What is Usermaven?
Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.
Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.

◆ Current state
tsibble defines the tidy time-series data structure that fable and feasts are built on. The design churned heavily through 2018 and 2019, settled with the 0.9.0 move onto vctrs in mid-2020, and then went quiet: the next release, 1.2.0, arrived in February 2026 with a summary() method and some tidyselect helpers.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a package that reached its final shape and stopped. The early releases are a rapid sequence of breaking changes to the key and interval metadata, each one warning that previously stored objects are corrupt; once the interval became a formal vctrs record type there was nothing structural left to change. The five-year gap is the trajectory, not a lapse.
◆ Prediction
Expect further releases to be small compatibility and convenience additions at long intervals; with the type system settled and windowing delegated to slider, there is no visible pressure for another breaking change.
Usermaven
8.8ANALYTICS
Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.
◆ Current state
Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.
◆ Where it's heading
The shape is a product deliberately becoming a hub rather than a destination. Ingest, query and activation have each been generalized in turn, and the common design choice is to hand the boundary to a standard or a connector rather than build integrations one at a time. What is left proprietary is the middle — identity resolution, attribution, engagement scoring — which is where the release notes keep adding configurability. The Salesforce connection being read-only in its first cut fits the pattern: land the schema mapping, then open the write path.
◆ Prediction
Salesforce write-back is the obvious next step, since Reverse ETL already exists as the mechanism and the entry marks read-only as a first release. Expect more CRM connectors on the same template — read-only, per-org field mapping, sandbox first.
