Changelog

Fixed Vault

Vault: the correct password no longer reads as incorrect after setting up

In the browser tab where you first created your Vault, locking it left that tab unable to unlock again - the right password was rejected and the recovery key failed with a technical error.

Improved Help

Help for the page you are on, without leaving it

Help for the current page had been moved into the account menu, next to Log out, where there was nothing to suggest it was there. Finding the right article meant knowing to look behind your own avatar.

Improved Links list

Design your Link-In-Bio List

A links list had three appearance settings - a theme, a button style and an accent colour - and five themes to choose between. Every other decision about how the page looked was already made for you.

New Links list

Build a links list by pasting JSON

Setting up a links list one link at a time was the only way to build one, even for a page with a long list of links and social icons.

New Forms

Forms now show how many times they've been viewed

There was no way to tell how many people opened a form versus how many actually submitted it.

New Forms

Build a form by pasting JSON

Adding every question, choice, and follow-up rule to a complex form one at a time in the editor was the only way to build one.

Fixed Screen Recorder

Fixed inserted images sizing wrong on the screen recorder

Adding an image overlay to a screen recording could give it the wrong shape, especially a portrait photo dropped into a landscape recording - its bounding box came out too tall, with empty space above and below the image that made resizing awkward.

New Homepage

Homepage now links to the stats page

The end of the homepage feature list said more was coming, but gave no way to see how Magpie is doing.

Fixed Homepage

Logged-in visitors can browse the homepage again

Signing in used to bounce you straight to the dashboard any time you landed on the homepage, so there was no way to see it while logged in.

Fixed Calendar

Fixed calendar day columns widening with long event titles

A day with a long event or booking title could push that whole column wider than the others on the calendar month view, throwing off the grid.

Improved Podcast

Click a take to play it, no more stacked players

Below the row of take blocks, the podcast recorder listed every take again as its own row with a full audio player and a Remove button, repeating information already shown above and taking up space once you had a few takes.

Improved Podcast

Waveforms on podcast recorder take blocks

The red take blocks on the podcast recorder's timeline showed a number and a duration for each take, but no sense of what was actually said or where the quiet stretches were.

Improved Screen Recorder

A better page for a shared recording

The page at a recording's share link was a box inside a box inside a box, with a full-width Download button as the biggest thing on it. It is now built around the recording itself, and a still frame from the recording is used as the page's opening image and as the thumbnail when the link is pasted into a chat app.

Improved Screen Recorder

Clearer download button on shared recordings

The Download recording button was small for the page's main action, and while a long recording transcoded server-side the button just sat on a static "Preparing download…" with no sign it was still working.

Improved Screen Recorder

Shared recordings now play at their own aspect ratio

Watching a shared portrait (9:16) recording pillarboxed it into a fixed 16:9 landscape player, leaving it small.

Improved Screen Recorder

Clearer drag affordance on the recording editor timeline

Scrubbing the recording editor's timeline worked anywhere along the track, but visually it looked like you had to land exactly on the thin red playhead line.

Improved Screen Recorder

Portrait recordings now edit at their own aspect ratio

Editing a portrait (9:16) screen recording squeezed it into a fixed 16:9 landscape frame, leaving it tiny and hard to place images on.

Fixed Screen Recorder

Fixed image overlays failing to save after being resized too large

Enlarging an image overlay on a recording could stretch it past the edge of the frame, and only then would saving fail with an error.

Fixed Screen Recorder

Fixed screen recording delete always failing

Deleting a recording from the list always failed with an error, no matter which recording you picked.

Fixed Screen Recorder

Screen recording errors that skipped the log now get recorded

Some failures on the screen recordings page never showed up anywhere for us to investigate, even though you saw an error.
