Technical Vinode Updates for Better Performance
Here's a summary of our latest technical updates to Vinode.
These updates focus on improving performance, usability and cross-device compatibility. Below we cover recent enhancements across the CRM, CMS, UI, 3D layers and browser support, and how continuous development translates into a smoother experience and more effective real estate presentations.
Back Panel
- CRM
HubSpot integration - we've added HubSpot integration to our CRM, so client data now flows straight into your HubSpot account.
- CMS
Gallery - additional images for units in the CMS panel.
Prospects - new prospects for units in the CMS panel.
Layer System
- Unreal Layer/Video Player
iOS Safari support - we've added full support for Apple WebKit browsers.
Section scroll - scrolling up and down now plays the video transition seamlessly in both directions, while UI animations stay fixed to conventional scrolling.
iOS in-app browser bug - in-app browsers on LinkedIn, Instagram and similar apps struggle to play video clips. While we investigate, we've added a temporary pop-up telling users to switch to the device's native browser.
- 3D Interactive Layer
Responsive 3D Canvas - a Three.js-based overlay for 3D UI that aligns with the Unreal Layer across different resolutions.
- UI Layer
Unit Focus View - when a unit is selected, we lock scrolling and focus the web app on that unit.
UI Animations - smooth animations for transitions between sections.
We put strong emphasis on continuous development, keeping our solution high in quality and adaptable to any device.

How we built the Vinode SaaS: four years and three rewrites
Four years of Vinode engineering produced the CRM, CMS, sales tools and no-code self-service platform clients use to run interactive property projects. The core specification was largely settled in year one; three rewrites removed the tooling friction that delayed it.
Gaussian Splatting for Real Estate: A Reality-Capture Layer, Not a Replacement for Pre-Rendered 3D
Capture-vendor pages frame Gaussian splatting as the technology set to retire architectural renders. It cannot, and the reason is not image quality. A splat only reconstructs something that already physically stands, which rules out every unbuilt building a developer sells off-plan.
Your unit selector is already a lead form. Most sites throw it away.
A buyer narrows to building 3, floor 5, around 60 m², with a balcony, still available, then lands on a blank contact form that keeps none of it. Every filter she set was a qualification answer given for free. Design the selector so her choice carries through to your sales team as context.
