New Effects in the Design Editor

We've made room for some new effects and had a rather successful bug sprint this week, check it out for yourself 😉

Update

We've bundled our effects under one option now in the style panel. But don't worry this is just a slight UI change and will make room for even more new effects in the future.

From the new effects option in the Style Panel you will be able to add a:

Drop shadow
Inner shadow
Blur
Background blur

Fix

Whew! This week our team went full-force on user-submitted issues as well as a regular product audit to identify and get rid of any of those peskier bugs.

Design Editor

Tab is no longer a shortcut for preview, just use p for that!
Fixed an issue with the Lottie Animation element that would sometimes result in an error when uploading a file, all good now!
Now, when embedding a project which has interactions or a navigation element, clicking or interacting with the embed code will not send the user back to the top.
In the project layouts thumbnail viewer, device icons are adjusted to connect to the specific breakpoints
In some instances, an invisible popover made clicking the page and page content panel inaccessible. It's now all clickable!
If a Text box has the text “<<” at the start of it, the editor reported an error while publishing the project. Now, no more!
Videos will now appear in the media library of a duplicated project
Depending on your parameters, some users were not able to add a custom breakpoint to their projects, this has been fixed
For slideshow element, you can now save an animation as a preset to easily add to other elements in your project
When applying the sticky position addon to an element or frame, you no longer need to refresh your entire project to see it take effect
The shared style editor, font dropdown, now shows the user-selected font instead of Lato

Code Editor

Now, you can an icon to your custom element that will show in the Design Editor for the rest of the team
Error messages were shown behind a tab bar sometimes, now it's in front of your face, as it should be
When forking widgets, utility files or included files now get copied
Developers now can change package.json Icon without any conflicts

Hosting, Embedding, Publishing

We made an email an optional parameter in the hosting settings page even for a secret owner
Now, when embedding a project which has interactions or a navigation element, clicking or interacting with the embed code will not send the user back to the top
If there is an error in publishing or the loading hangs, you will now see a 'Retry' button. Hallelejuah 🙌
Deleting hosting will now in fact, delete the hosting (this was occurring in certain edge cases)
‘Not Implemented’ error message when adding “always Included” hosting no longer pops up
Selecting a Hosting endpoint now correctly shows the hosting path, workspace path, or team path in an “Add Destination” dialog box

Content Editor

Previewing certain elements in the Content Editor took up a lot of rendering space resulting in a black screen when editing text or scrolling. We've improved that so it won't happen again.
Canvas was turning black after editing text or scrolling - again. But now fixed. Some Elements Preview windows used to take up a massive amount of space, rendering the code-bit

Account

When entering a shared team, accounts are no longer swapped; similarly, all shared teams will now be listed in the dropdown, instead of just a few (and we've made the menu a little bigger to make it easier to click)
When changing teams, you used to get a message with 'Account changed' but that has been removed to avoid any confusion
