π Added a Nitpick option to set the font size of articles and pages. Options are "Small", "Normal", "Large" and "Extra Large".
Set your content size using the dropdown.
π Fixed an issue with adding the Letterbird header setting on a post page.
πΎ Added an option to show the header icon or name on your Letterbird contact form (if enabled). Check out their documentation on what it does. Scribbles will add the `data-showheader` attribute to the embed script.
π Added the ability to hide posts that belong to a certain category on your main timeline/homepage, including archives and your RSS feed. Head on over to any category of your choice and select the "hide from main timeline" option. You can still view your posts if you navigate to the category on your site β the category RSS feed will also show these posts. Great for the time when you want to have a specific feed for certain posts that you don't want to show on your main blog. Categories with hidden posts will have a closed eye symbol next to them in the admin area.
Hide your posts on the main timeline for the specific category.
πΎπ Added preliminary support for shortcodes within the editor. This is super basic right now. For YouTube embeds use: `{{yt:1234567}}` with 123456 being the video code, similar you can also add Vimeo: `{{vimeo:1234567}}`. Next year I will work on a more dynamic way to pick a shortcode where it allows you to just add it without trying to remember. Of note, embeds within text will not work, so they have to be added on their own line. Still a little experimental.

πΎπ You can now add Plausible and Cloudflare Analytics to your blog by adding the relevant information on your blog settings -> Analytics & Kudos. You can mix and match all of them, or just one or the other, it's up to you. Leave empty to disable. Of course I think Tinylytics is the better option here π π
πΎ Expanded the export option to add Markdown export also. It will use the same format as the HTML export, including file names. Just select the format you would like. There is more for me to do here that I would like to tackle, like a full static site export β but that will have to wait (my brain is melting from trying). Also now shows what format your backup is in. Note: Still very experimental and will listen to feedback on this.

πΎ Added an option to tweak your page width for your blog. This will affect the maximum width of the post list, pages and post content, including the archives page. The Header and Footer area will still remain the same. Find the option in your Nitpick settings.
π§Ή Tweaked the layout of the Nitpick settings screen to try and organise it a little bit more β more to do (as always).
π Launched site search for your visitors. Enabled by default, and disabled for existing blogs (didn't want to mess with the zen). Read more about it here on the blog.
πΎ Tweaked the order of blog settings to try and break it up a little β more for me to do here and I'll work on making settings better as time goes, just needs some background processing in my brain.
π Fixed an issue that would cause site passcodes (for private blogs) to be stored in plain text, instead of encrypted. Passcodes have been migrated to an encrypted value now. This was an oversight on my part π
π Fixed an issue where a backup would fail because it would try and download an attachment in a post when none existed.
π You can now view all of your uploads (assets) that are part of your posts on a dedicated screen. This allows you to quickly download them in original format, view the post they are attached to and also search by filename or your post content. This is still a work in progress, so please expect some tweaks. You'll find this in the new "Assets" section that you can get to in the main dropdown.
β οΈ Assets are tied to a post, so when you delete the post, the attached uploads will also be deleted β that's by design. OK, moving on...
πΎ When you have multiple blogs you can now make a blog active from the "Blogs & Settings" screen that shows all your blog alongside your account settings. This will lead to another feature one day. When viewing blog settings, you can also see if it's the currently active one... if not, you can "make it so".
π€ Tweak some icons. Fixed some missing colours.
πΎ Explore will now show both posts with and without title on the same page. This is something I wanted to do for some time as I didn't like to switch between the two and thought it was silly. Also, Amit, nails it that they're not supposed to be just "shorts" or labelled otherwise. There is also a new RSS feed for this. The existing feeds work as they did as I didn't want to mess with your flow.
πΎ Improved the blog export to now also include all of your original images and videos. The HTML that will be created will use the images or videos as found in the folder instead of the Scribbles CDN URL.
β€οΈ Added a Nitpick option to set a "powered by scribbles" image into the footer of your site. It's a lovely icon created by Ning. By default, any new blog will have this option enabled by default. Existing blogs will have it disabled β didn't want to mess with the Zen. Give it a try. You can see it on this blog, just scroll down to the end.
π§Ή Moved a few things around on your blog settings page so it doesn't look like one giant wall.
π§Ή When editing a post, the trash icon has now been moved to the top bar instead of next to the Update button. Just feels nicer.
π For posts with images, you can now click on those images to open up a lightbox. Works great. Click to open, click to close. It'll always load the higher resolution image to maximise the space. It's super simple and hopefully will tick a lot of boxes. It'll have a blurred background in either white or black, depending on the colour scheme. You can of course override some elements with the ".lightbox" class in your custom CSS. The image will also take into account your screen height, so it'll fit as it needs. Give it a try:

πΎ Tweaked the explore section to show image previews for posts that have them. I think it looks nicer and it's easier to see when a post does include an image or not. Especially great for photos that have a little bit of text. More work needs to be done here though, but a great step to make it look nicer.
π Fixed an issue that wouldn't correctly check for domain name set up. Sorry about that.
πΎ Changed the interval for when archiving posts, if enabled. This used to run in the background every hour, but will now check every 5 minutes instead.
πΎ After some feedback, we're making a few changes to the editor. We're moving a few things into the settings icon next to the Publish button, for example setting the post as draft. We've also hidden the live preview button in the auto-save pop-up, so you can find it here. The auto-save will only show up once it saved to remove visual clutter. The editor now also takes up the full height of the screen. More to come and think about.
π₯Έ FYI, markdown support will come hopefully closer to the end of this year β waiting on the proper "sanctioned" Ruby on Rails editor that will be built into the framework. Didn't want to sway too much away from the official channels.
π§Ή When you're on the trial you'll now also see a link to the billing page in the header area. So it's easier for you to find.
