Some great stuff there, especially for me on the inventory front with aged inventory and COGS reports

Great work Square Team! I have noticed the "reliability improvements" over the last couple of months. The system has been phenomenally stable, which is critical to operations. Kudos team!

Ummmm... Wow..... Honestly, I'm impressed, not just for this round of announcements but for the whole picture that is coming into focus. Between these announcements and what I see on the Product Roadmap, it's pretty obvious (to me anyway) that someone has been listening. Not only am I seeing new features rolling out pretty much constantly, I love the fact that Square is COMMUNICATING so much better these days.

I got laser-focused on the Ubiquity UniFi announcements. As I plan for my shop to move in a few months, I was trying to figure out what I was going to use for my new network/WiFi setup. I'm pretty sure I found my solution, even though my hardware needs are very modest. The products in the Square Store are very reasonably priced and look like they will be perfect for my current and future needs. Yay.

Aww man, I got excited when I saw the word "roundup" because I thought we were finally going to get the ability to roundup sales for donations. I know this has been a feature request for a very long time. Is this planned for the near future?

SVLFever

Hey @eaguilar ! I actually thought the same exact thing as you did at first, and then I remembered the summary name.

I would love to have that feature, and with the pennies being discontinued, it seems like a logical evolution.

@ChickenRacer @SVLFever @TheRealChipA - thank you for the support! Glad to hear there was a release for each and every one of you!

@eaguilar I'm so sorry we got you excited just to let you down! I know the rounding up feature is widely asked for. I spoke with the product team about this specific request a couple months ago, and right now it's not on the roadmap, but it's definitely on the radar for the people who build our products. You can follow this thread for updates, and also make sure you are subscribed to the Product Updates blog, which is where we would post if/when the feature comes out. Thanks for the note, we're glad you stopped by!

I don't know where to put in this feature request. I can't find the topic and can't find where to make a new thread.

I'm not happy that the desktop interface keeps expanding in size. I have to have the window so wide it covers other windows I need to have open. Can the calendar page change in size when the window borders are narrowed or shrunken? Can the menu bar on the left be minimized? Can it be customized so that I don't have to go through three or four mouse clicks to change between calendar, transactions, customers, etc? The number of mouse clicks to get anything done keeps expanding and I would love to be able to adjust my browser size so that I can see my whole weekly calendar without having to cover my whole desktop.

Thank you and if there is s specific place I should place this request let me know
