Zen mode, image drag and drop, and a new profile

Three things shipped this week. They share one goal: less friction between you and a published post.

Zen mode

Writing needs a quiet room. The editor gave you a busy one: a sidebar pointing somewhere else, a header counting your words, a publish button asking about a post you haven't finished. None of that helps you mid-sentence.

Zen mode clears the room. Click the zap icon in the editor header, or press Option + Shift + Z. The chrome fades out and your draft gets the full screen. Esc brings everything back when you're done.

Drag and drop image uploads

Adding an image was a detour. Open the slash menu, pick upload, browse to the file you screenshotted ten seconds ago. Worse, dropping an image into markdown mode made the browser open the file and abandon your draft. The path from your desktop to your post should be one motion.

Now it is. Drop an image into the editor and it uploads. Works in rich text and in markdown mode, and it handles several images in one drop. In rich text, a drop cursor shows exactly where the image will land. In markdown, an uploading placeholder appears at your cursor and swaps to the final URL when the upload finishes. Paste works the same way.

A new profile header

Your profile is where a reader decides whether to follow you. The old header treated that moment like a form: small photo, name tucked in a corner, links scattered around it.

Profile pages now open with a centered hero. Bigger photo, bigger name, one quiet line of meta underneath. Your links, socials, and share button sit together in a single row. Head to settings and update your bio so your profile has something to say.
