Is it me or is this year going by fast? Can’t believe we’re already through February!
Well without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s recap.
Keep in mind that information is kept at a high level within these recaps. For more information or to leave feedback, please comment on their official announcements linked below.
We’re releasing an overhaul of how the engine handles scroll and trackpad inputs. For the most part this is a strict improvement, enabling the trackpad behavior people expect and fixing some nasty bugs, but it has some small backwards compatibility considerations.
16:9 tiles for Home Recommendations — which we initially launched to existing users — are now being rolled out to new mobile and tablet users.
This means a more consistent and visually engaging experience for all users, and a greater opportunity to capitalize on your current impressions with personalized thumbnails.
Glad that updates to previous additions are listed below the new additions, it looks much cleaner to read this way. I honestly cant tell if this is intentional or a coincidence based on past recaps (maybe they were in order of when the announcement/update was posted?), but it should stay this way. Other than that, not much to say.
You could probably improve these by sectioning them as updates to previous announcements instead of putting [UPDATE] in front of every single update.
Right now, in order to tune this out, they want me to mute the entirety of #updates:announcements. Because I have my notification priority set to “Watching first post,” I DON’T MISS ANYTHING. These recaps are just added notifications unless I want to see updates to previous posts.
I really appreciate it!
this can all be solved by creating a “Recaps” subcategory of updates)
