It’s been a while since I provided a post around updates for IT Admin Toolkit nearly a year ago. Since then a lot has changed…
Disclaimer: The application in this post is currently in alpha release status. Many features may be incomplete or not work as expected.
What’s New?
A compiled list of new or updated functionality can be found below, though full commit history can be found over on the GitHub Repo:

All new Dashboard page:

Improved resource consumption and efficiency by only loading category Pages once instead of generating them on the fly once clicked

Numerous UI bug fixes and improvements:

What’s Next?
As the alpha version of ITATK nears initial feature completion, stability and polish will be a major point of focus. I’d like to see this be as flexible as possible to meet all user’s needs. Be it for launching your own personal or enterprise scripts, or sharing the tool across a team of users.
Active work, bugs, and any other efforts can be found over on the Issues page and in active development branches:
