New "My pages" section
Now we have a new section called "My pages".
Added it to fix this problem: "It was super difficult as I couldn't find my product page."
Now it's super easy to find your pages and post updates.

Simplified settings page
We have removed Custom domain and Hey.Cafe URL options from Page Settings since these aren't used much.
You'll still see them if you already have them configured

Simplified homepage to show just the product updates
We had "Product updates", "Explore new products", and "Categories".
Now this is simplified to just show Product updates. We can still see new products and categories from the footer.
I might remove those two options in the future but keeping it in the footer for now without removing it entirely.

Removed "Sneak Peeks"
Why?
Out of 249 posts, only 16 (~6.5%) are sneak peeks and others are usual "What's New" posts .
So removing it to keep it simple.
Existing sneak peeks will get a [Sneak Peek] added to the post title like this:

We have also improved the Categories section. It used to be like this with commas:
Now we have fixed it and now everything is shown nicely, one category at a time.

You can now claim a username for your product and the page would be live here: whatsnew.co/name.
Claim a username for your page before someone else does.
We also launched custom domain support
This means, you can now point your domain to app.whatsnew.co and you got yourself a product announcement page or it can even act as a changelog for your product.
Both can be done in the settings. Do try and let us know how it goes. Run into any issues or got any feedback? Do reach out to me via Twitter or email me directly.

Post content is now formatted properly
Even though we supported formatting text, it doesn't show up properly after you post the content.
That's because we use tailwind and it resets all styles by default.
We have added some styles to make it look nice :) Here is an example:
Bold, Italic, Bold Italic,Bold Italic,
