June updates: new stuff, fixes and more

We're finally back with some updates. ðŸŽˆ Most of then changes apply to the frontend of the board and not the admin backend. But anyway, bugs were fixed, things were added, stuff was changed... let's dig in.

Filter by tag and status

It is now possible to filter submissions by their tag and their status. This update applies to the frontend only. Users can now click on tags and statuses to see a list of all submissions with that specific tag or submission.

Search and sorting

A search bar and a way to sort submissions has been added. You can now sort submissions by "Most upvoted", "Newest first" or "Latest first".

Admin options

We made a commenter email address visible within the admin backend. You may now also block people from posting comments, adding submissions or upvoting. They can still see everything, but it will not be possible for them to do anything.

Suggest (possible) similar submissions

When users are creating a submission, we now show possible similar submissions. Maybe this will help reduce duplicate submissions and merging on the admin side. We also take into account "Completed" and "Rejected" submissions.

Discord integration

We added a new integration: Discord. You can now be notified whenever someone posted a new submission or added a comment to any of the submissions. We already support email and Slack notifications.

Bug fixes

We also fixed 12 bugs in both the backend and frontend (phew!). There may be more, who knows... but we'll find them eventually. When creating or editing a changelog entry, it is now also possible to add simple formatting in lists. So you can make text bold, italic or add a link. This was only possible with regular paragraphs before.

It is now also possible to contact us via chat again. This was broken due to us making changes to our support chat vendor but we haven't noticed until one of our friendly customers pointed that out. While we were at it, we added the chat option into the backend. You can enable and disable the chat at the bottom of each page and contact us directly from within the backend. Or not, but you can...

Better Dark Mode

We also made a lot of changes to the dark mode of the frontends. Colors should now be more aligned and the contrasts are more visible. It should be easier to see things now. We also went from a blue-ish dark tone to actual gray.

Sitemap

It is now also possible to enable a sitemap for boards. They are generally enabled when "Allow Bots" is enabled in the workspace settings. To open the sitemap, simply add /sitemap.xml to the root of your domain. The sitemap is live, so whenever someone adds a new submission, the sitemap will reflect that instantly.
