We're excited to announce some updates and improvements to enhance your experience!
First off, we've powered up the Lottie module with two new Listeners. A new Set Direction listener, allowing you to dictate the animation playback direction with ease. And the new Go to Frame listener for jumping animations straight to a specified frame. We've also tidied up by removing the redundant Advance Frames listener, which did the same thing as "Set Progress", but worse.
We've given our Editor a slight makeover, it should be easier on the eyes now. We got rid of the blinding white background on the Layout Editor, and added subtle dividing lines between panels to make it more clear what elements belong to which panel.
We also rebranded "Backstage" to "Flux" in this update. So keep an eye out for the new favicon when searching in your sea of tabs.
On the enhancements front, your profile context menu and site's are now sleeker than ever (and don't slide off the screen when you're trying to click something). We've also introduced a nifty String Comparison middleware Node for those intricate string comparisons, and ensured your video assets and analytics are more user-friendly with human-readable timestamps and timezone-aware date selections.
Plus, our video UI has been revamped for an optimal viewing experience across devices. And, because we know how important it is for things to run smoothly, we've squashed several pesky bugs across the platform to ensure your larger projects publish without a hitch.
Join the waitlist and be among the first to get access to Flux this year.
