Sleekplan Widget: More Powerful and User-Focused Than Ever! 🌟

widget-updates

We're excited to introduce a set of powerful enhancements that will transform how you interact with the Sleekplan widget. Say hello to a widget that's more user-focused, intuitive, and tailored to your unique needs!


📜 Extended View for Announcements

Say goodbye to the tiny widget window! We've revamped the way you view changelog posts within the widget and announcements. Now, when you click on a post, it gracefully expands into a more reader-friendly format with a larger display. Plus, we've stripped away any distracting brand colors to keep it clean and distraction-free, allowing users to immerse themselves in the content.

🟢 Persistent Popups Across Pageviews

We've tackled a common pain point head-on. No more worrying about popups and in-app announcements disappearing after a single page change. This is especially crucial for power users who navigate swiftly through non-SPAs. Notifications will now remain active until users consciously hit the "close" button or take the specific action related to the popup (like opening a post from an announcement popup).

Keep in-app announcements active across different pageviews
Now, if a user navigates away from the page the in-app announcements disappear. The user may not have noticed the update at that time. It would be great if in-app announcements stay active over several page views (until the user opens or closes them), so we could probably increase the read rate drastically.


⭐️ Enhanced Action Screens

We've taken your love for the action screen to heart and made it even more user-friendly. Packed with handy action items, the action screen streamlines your widget experience. And here's the icing on the cake: for "Open Posts" and "Open Changelog" actions, we've introduced the "Extended Preview" option. Now, you can directly access a concise list of entries without the need to open the action, saving your users' time and clicks.

🎯 Segmentation for Action Screens

Say goodbye to the one-size-fits-all approach! We understand the importance of delivering a personalized experience, and that's why we've introduced "Segmentation for Action Screens". Now, you have the power to finely tune your widget's behavior, ensuring that the right actions are presented to the right users.

🎨 Revamped Email Templates

We've given our email templates a complete facelift, with fresh copy and captivating designs for both admin and user emails. If you've made any customizations to your email templates, ensure they are compatible with our new designs.


But wait, there's more!

1. Better Open Graph Images: Our open graph images for the standalone page have been refined for a more appealing and engaging appearance when shared on social media and other platforms.

2. Session Functionality: We've resolved a pesky session bug, ensuring smooth widget functionality even during local development and testing.

4. Edit Action Items: Goodbye, delete-and-recreate! We've listened to your feedback and added an edit button for action items. This improvement makes it easier than ever to refine and modify your action items without the need for cumbersome workarounds.

5. SEO Enhancements: We've significantly improved the SEO of the standalone website, making its content more accessible and readable for web crawling bots.

6. Wildcard Domains Support: Now, you can use wildcard (*) for domains, not just in the URL part. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in defining which domains the Sleekplan widget should be active on.

7. Translation Updates: We've added some missing translations to ensure a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience for your international user base.


We value your feedback, and it plays a crucial role in shaping Sleekplan's future. Here is some of the feedback that contributed to this release:

5
Drafts in the changelog are not published with the current date
**Issue:** When I save a changelog update as a draft, the current date is saved with it. If I now publish the draft after a few days, it is published under the initial creation date. **Current workaround:** When publishing, set the date manually to today's date. **Possible solution:** Initially save drafts without date and use the current date when publishing.

Add link back to Sleekplan when linking Jira issues

Edit button for home screen action items
Would be nice if there was a way to edit the home screen "action items" instead of having to delete and remake it.

Add a link back to Sleekplan on Jira issues
Have a link back to the Sleekplan post on linked or created Jira issues

  • @team will notify the whole team assigned to your workspace, no matter if they are commited to the post or not.

Both mentions - @all and @team - are restricted to team members only, so you can relax.. none of your users will spam the discussion with @all mentions! 😄
