Introducing the new detail view

And loads of other fixes and improvements

In the past month, we’ve been working to improve the overall experience of the detail view in new.space. Check out today’s video where we go into some of the important changes.

In addition to the changes outlined above, we’ve also made loads of fixes and improvements, here are a few:

• New: Downloading multiple files now zips them together. We wrote a bit about it here:

  Sharing improvements in new.space

  • Also, links can be downloaded as shortcuts as well

• Fixed: Opening links in Safari should work more consistently now

• Fixed: Downloading indicator no longer clips in the grid layout

• Improved: The copy link icon has been swapped out for a better one

• New: Added preview-only support for “read only” spaces. These are special spaces that can be shared where only the owner can add & remove items in the space. These are not currently available for all users, but let us know if this is something you are interested in trying! You can test some out here:

  Using emoji & reactions in new.space 🙌🥳

• Improved: PDFs should now more consistently render in a correct manner.

• Fixed: Worldle cards are now sized correctly. (Did you know we have Wordle cards? Try pasting in your score to share it with others!)

• New: Added apple-touch-icon, which allows folks to add new.space to your homescreen on an iOS device. Try it out!

This is just some of the improvements we’ve made in the last month. As mentioned in the video, there are also a lot of performance improvements that should make the app feel quite snappy. If you've been using new.space, and have some ideas about things you want to see in a list like this in the future, let us know in the comments here! Also, if you haven't yet tried new.space and need an access code, write us here as well and we'll get you set up and running.

Till next time, happy sharing 👋
