Revamped settings page

The settings page on Hashnode offers comprehensive information about your account settings and profile page.

We have revamped the settings page to align with our design system. The user interface has been updated to offer an improved user experience.

Here is how the old settings page looked:

The updated look of the page:

Have you ever wanted to share your scheduled articles on social media but had to wait because the preview link kept showing the draft content?

We have now resolved this issue! Our fix now redirects the draft link to the published article link, ensuring that any user with whom the draft was shared will see the latest published article.

For example, if https://blog.example.com/preview/:draftId is your draft link, it will redirect to https://blog.example.com/:slug when the article is published.

Bug fixes

  • We had a bug that prevented writers from setting the backdate to today.
    Use case: Suppose you have an article published a few weeks ago, and you have made some changes to it and want to update it to the current date. Our API was not supporting this functionality. We have now made fixes to support it.

  • We encountered a bug where the paginated results returned by our API were incorrect if the newsletter subscribers were added via the importer. This issue has now been resolved.


That's a wrap for this week! If you have any suggestions or comments, send them our way on Discord.
