v0.28.0
2025-07-15Summary of changes
There’s a lot of changes in this release. The main change is a re-worked process for adding new posts, in an attempt to make fider feel more modern and to remove barriers to adding new suggestions and ideas. This includes a new full-screen modal for entering the new post. We’ve also changed the way that new posts are added for users who aren’t logged in. You can enter your suggestion as though you are logged in, and just at the end you need to choose how to continue - with email or some other auth. Once you have confirmed your email you can then finalise and submit your post.
Another big change, there is no more “upload an image” button. Images are now handled inline in the editor, and the editor has been rolled out to adding / editing posts as well as comments now. So you can upload images and paste images into the editor now - behind the scenes they’re still uploaded in the same way to the same locations you’ve configured (either db, s3, or file).
