Changelog 0.9

This week we shipped a new welcome experience (again), embedded docs in your editor, package sharing docs, og images for shared packages, program cloning, and publishing stopped programs.

New, simpler welcome screen

We've received valuable feedback in user interviews (thanks!) on several iterations of our welcome UX. That first login experience has been at times overwhelming, too much hand-holding, too little hand-holding, etc...

We hope this round is the goldilocks version—let us know what you think!

Embedded docs in IDE

Speaking of onboarding, option two in the new welcome screen above opens docs.membrane.io as a split pane webview in the editor.

Support for that is experimental (some things like external links won't work at the moment), and you can always open docs in another browser tab, ofc.

Package sharing docs

Speaking of docs, you'll now find a page that covers package sharing. Learn how to install and publish packages. (And soon, unpublish).

Dynamic OG images for shared packages, blog

Speaking of sharing, we now have nifty og images for blog posts (try sending this to a friend 😉) and package share links. So when you share a package on Slack/Twitter/iMessage/etc., it'll include a preview, like this one for Thomas's uptime tracker:

Program cloning

Speaking of cool programs, a common request is to clone (i.e. duplicate, fork) an existing program. To clone a program, right-click the program in the Navigator and select "Clone Program".

Allow publishing stopped programs

Speaking of features available in the context menu when you right-click a program, you can now publish a program as a package, even if the program has been stopped.
