๐ Fixed an issue that wouldn't correctly check for domain name set up. Sorry about that.
๐พ 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.
๐พ 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.
๐ฅธ FYI, markdown support will come hopefully closer to the end of this year โ 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.
๐งน 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.
๐ Hopefully fixed an issue with domain names not being checked correctly and never setting you up correctly as intended. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with domains not setting up correctly.
๐พ Some behind the scenes upgrades, which of course should fix the above.
๐พ Added a new option, under your Blog's Verification & Proofs settings, that allows you to add your `fediverse:creator` tag. You can read more about what this is here on the Mastodon blog. Just enter the username you want and Scribbles will add the tag for you. Easy.
โ๏ธ Me again. Bumped up the amount of free posts when you first create an account. Now you get 25 posts (instead of 10) to try things out โ hopefully that allows you to get into a habit.
๐ค Things should be running smoothly again. Let me know if you find anything though.
๐ค Made underlying upgrades to the core systems of Scribbles. For now, everything looks and works as it should. If you notice anything that's not right, just let me know.
๐ข The Explore page is a little slower to load than previously as I am exploring new ways to "cache" the data.
๐ More behind the scenes updates as the day goes, so you might notice a few slowdowns.
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.
