In German there is a warm greeting where one can say “Hello friends of the sun”. In the wintertime it feels more like a joke as we don’t get much sunlight in the winter here in Berlin. However, spring is creeping up and I can’t hold it in anymore. So, “Hallo, Freunde der Sonne”. Today I want to showcase a host of improvements and bugfixes the team has been working on, and if you read closely you might learn what the next big feature(s) for new.space will be.
Let’s look at new.space for web first:
New
We added sorting functionality. In case you missed it, you can read all about it here ⬆️

Improved

As I mentioned at the start, we are super close to launching notes and accounts on the web. These 2 features unlock incredible capabilities like giving context to a space and getting an overview of all your spaces. On iOS, we have some special stuff in the pipeline that I'm not quite ready to spill the beans on yet. Needless to say, these will unlock some powers that will level up new.space in big ways.
If there is anything you would like to see in future lists, let us know in the comments. Whether it is an annoying bug you've found, a nice feature that we could build or something that could be a bit better–let us know!
