+slice of what happened in December!</p>

+<p>Previously, you could order by <code>serverCreatedAt</code>, but not
+much else. This is because we didn’t have a way to make
+<code>order</code> queries fast.</p>
+<p>Once we introduced type checked attributes, suddenly the path for
+fast order queries opened up. Starting from <code>0.17.0</code>, you can
+use <code>order</code> on type-checked and indexed attributes.</p>

+<p>We’ve had sign in with magic codes, Google, Clerk, and custom auth
+flows via the admin SDK. Well now Instant provides support for signing
+in with Apple too! We support a popup flow, a web redirect, and a
+dedicated React Native flow! <a
+href="https://www.instantdb.com/docs/auth/apple?method=web-popup">Learn
+more in the docs</a></p>
+<p><strong>Type-safe init by default!</strong> We launched type
+enforcement on the backend last month and this month we made type-safe
+<code>init</code> the default. Previously to get type-safety on the
+frontend you had to use a separate <code>init_experimental</code> flow.
+Now you can just import your schema and pass it to <code>init</code></p>

+<p>We made sure to do this in a backwards compatible way, so upgrading
