-But what is Ember Octane? Ember Octane is the new, recommended way for developers to build Ember applications and addons.
-Octane features a new reactivity model, a renewed practice of building components and a stronger focus on HTML driven web development than ever before. Octane aims to make building Ember apps for developers not only more easy, but also **more fun** right from the start.
-And on top of that, Ember Octane is **fully opt-in** and **interoperable** for existing Ember apps - which means you can try out the new way of building modern Ember Octane apps gradually, without having to rewrite your entire app today.

 ## [New ember-autofocus-modifier 💡](https://medium.com/qonto-engineering/autofocus-modifier-improving-our-component-apis-fd589b98f4e)
 
 While building an autofocus feature for their components, Qonto engineers were also able to improve their APIs. [Cyrille David (@dcyriller)](https://github.com/dcyriller) and team wanted to add autofocus to several components across two apps. For example, both their one-time-password input and their email input component needed autofocus. Since mixins are no longer recommended in the Ember ecosystem, Cyrille went with modifiers. [And they blogged about their experience here!](https://medium.com/qonto-engineering/autofocus-modifier-improving-our-component-apis-fd589b98f4e)
 
-Modifiers are a new feature in the upcoming Ember Octane edition for **sharing code between components**, similar to directives in Vue or Angular. We revisited [Chris Garrett (@pzuraq)](https://github.com/pzuraq)'s blog [Coming Soon in Ember Octane - Part 4: Modifiers](https://blog.emberjs.com/2019/03/06/coming-soon-in-ember-octane-part-4.html) and the [Octane Guides preview docs: Out-of-Component-Modifications](https://octane-guides-preview.emberjs.com/release/components/template-lifecycle-dom-and-modifiers/#toc_out-of-component-modifications) to learn more!

 Qonto wrapped up the code in a small addon, [`ember-autofocus-modifier`](https://github.com/qonto/ember-autofocus-modifier). You can use the code as-is, or copy the [snippet code](https://github.com/qonto/ember-autofocus-modifier/blob/v0.0.1/addon/modifiers/autofocus.js) and experiment with creating your own modifier.
