We are always looking for ways to improve the way we share and organize content in new.space. Today, I want to show you two features in new.space for iOS which I use on the regular now. These are seriously great, let’s not waste any time getting into it:
Grouping by Day
If you are a member of a Space that has a few other members, you may have noticed that it can get a little noisy and it can get overwhelming keeping track of things. This can get especially cramped on mobile where there isn’t a lot of room to see what is going on in a Space. We created this nifty feature called “Group by day” which only shows the items that were added on that particular date visible. It sort of works like the Today Space, and can help you get a clean picture of what is going on today, yesterday or whenever you need to see.
This is a setting that is just for your own device and not something that is synced to everyone else, so don’t fret about the layout. I use this feature in some of our Shareup team Spaces where we add things throughout the day, and it helps me focus and get an overview much faster while keeping the Space clear and tidy.
Direct Share
With the addition of accounts, it unlocked the capability for us to be able to share directly to those with whom you already share. This becomes a very fast way to send and share your Spaces. You may have noticed this on the share sheet at some point.
I use this often with my partner to quickly add items to a Space and share them out. Before this feature, I found myself adding all sorts of items to a bigger Space we had already shared with each other, and there was little rhyme or reason to a topic or theme. Now, our recipes, shopping lists and trip planning all have their own Spaces which are nice and clean.
These features just exist today on new.space for iOS, but with time we’ll bring them over to the web app as well, so stay tuned. Thanks again for using new.space and helping us discover bugs and improve the app. We can’t wait to release the 1.0 release to you all and continue building features that make sharing, feedback and planning so much better. Till next time, happy sharing!
