๐ We launched live post previews. Check out the announcement post, which includes a video for your viewing pleasure.
๐พ In addition to the above, we fixed a few minor issues when category tags are present in the preview.
๐พ Tweaked the way the auto-save labels the submit button depending if you've set it as a draft or not so it's less confusing what the button will do.
๐ Temporarily disabled videos being delivered via CDN due to issues with Safari not loading them. Still looking into this. However, videos now work and should play as normal.
๐ Fixed an issue that would cause an error on the categories page in the admin area.
... also there is something else I deployed, but that post will have to wait.
๐ Added ephemeral posts and archives. See the announcement post for more info.
๐พ Tweaked the way blog settings are saved. You now get redirected to the page you were on when you make changes instead of back to the blog settings overview screen.
๐ Fixed an issue that wouldn't automatically archive posts ๐
๐ Fixed an issue that would cause the app to load a logged in view before checking if you were logged in or not โ causing an error.
๐พ Tweaked some icons around the dashboard and improving some layouts on the blog settings.
๐๐พ Last night we launched auto-saving for new posts. Now it's also enabled for any draft post so you can keep on writing without worrying.
๐ Added a "delete all drafts" option if you have more than 4 active drafts. This will delete all drafts โ great for someone like me who had over 50 drafts but wanted a quick way to remove them. It will show at the bottom of the drafts page.
๐ Posts you write are now auto saved along the way. Read more about it here. This is only rolled out for new posts only and will come to drafts at some point also.
๐พ๐ When you upload attachments, like images or videos, the publish/update button will now pulse and be disabled until everything is where it should be. Great when you're uploading larger files, but you accidentally published the post before it was finished โ causing broken images in your posts.
๐พ Tweaked the position of the Kudos button to now display straight after the post. The "Leave a comment" and "Reply by email" buttons, if enabled, will show below.
๐ค Made tweaks to the CDN and DNS which shouldn't have affected anyone. So, just saying... that I've done it a few days ago.
๐พ You can now add alternative text to your blog logo which will help with general accessibility for users. Find this setting on your blog settings page -> "Change Image" and find the new option there.
๐พ Further on accessibility I have added an aria-label of "Kudos" to the kudos button when you have Tinylytics enabled.
๐พ๐งน We've added some caching to the ATOM feeds to reduce the overall load to the server. You should see a general improvement to speed throughout Scribbles.
๐ Fixed an issue that caused posts to be saved without a url when using a title in Chinese or Japanese. It'll now always fallback to a date based URL. If your posts have been affected, just re-save them to generate a URL.
๐ Added the ability to add custom css to your blog. Go to your blog settings and then "Change Appearance". Still experimental, but give it a whirl (gotta start somewhere).
๐ Fixed an issue that caused bold text in code blocks to be hidden with dark text (great use for spoilers!) โ now it shows correctly though... no more spoilers.
๐ Fixed an issue that converted a \#-tag to a H1 tag โ let me know if you see any other oddities.
๐ Added an option to show categories, that contain posts, on both the homepage and archive page. Find these settings in Nitpick.
๐พ Added an option to show expanded posts within a category โ originally this used the archives preview post list (or the normal post list). This allows you to set it on a case by case basis.
๐พ๐งน Tweaked the publish date toolbar to now show as a pop-over instead of inline. When a date is set, the icon will now turn blue. Hopefully fixes some layout issues too.
๐พ๐งน Category picker now automatically closes as soon as you make a selection. Also fixed an issue where the icon colour didn't change when in dark mode.
๐ Fixed Markdown exports to include the correct alt text if provided in the editor. It'll always fall back to using the caption if it does exist. If you have just alt text set, but no caption, then there won't be the extra text below the image either.
๐ Added a nitpick option to hide the category icon ๐ท๏ธ across your whole blog.ย
๐งน Tweaked the spacing of text on your posts. Slightly tighter on bigger screens and slightly looser on small screens.
๐งน Tweaked sizes of headers on posts, pages, categories and archive pages โ including the 404 page. Should be more consistent across all pages.
๐งน Removed border on the "Back to homepage" button when on the archive page, or other pages where you might see it. Also slightly reduced the font size.
๐ Fixed an issue that allowed you to save a category to a "Page" and expect it to do something. It didn't, as intended, but was confusing. Also now hides the category button when you toggle the "Save as Page?" button.
๐ Fixed an issue when you set alt text on an image and it wasn't showing on the feed. Also now shows (on the image element) when you use "expanded posts" on the homepage.
