Spring forward
This morning we shipped out a big update to Mocksup. Here’s a quick summary of what’s new.
Adding notes to invitations
One of our most requested features has been the ability to add notes to invitations. That way, when you invite someone new to a project, you can personally explain what Mocksup is and what kind of feedback you’re looking for.
More easily manage contributors
Starting a new project and having to remember all the email addresses of everyone you’d already invited to other projects was a hassle.
Now, as long as you have contributors on other projects, when you go to “Manage contributors” you’ll see a list of all your previous contributors. Just select the emails you want for your current project and send out your invitations.
Send out notes whenever you need to
Mocksup desperately needed the ability to “ping” your contributors about the latest updates. Now, after you’ve uploaded a new version or added a new mockup to a project, you can send out a quick note — with a link to the project — letting everyone know what’s new.
Help!
Mocksup is now integrated with Tender to provide top-of-the-line help pages and discussion forums. If you’ve run into a bug or have an idea for a feature just click the “Help” link in the top right and let us know about it.
Finer-grained control over linkboxes
Previously, when adding lots of links all in a row for something like navigation, unless you had the steady hands of a brain surgeon the linkboxes would be all out-of-line and different sizes.
Now you can select a linkbox and, down in the lower left corner of the editor screen, invidually set its x and y-coordinates as well as its width and height. For the perfectionist in all of us this makes for a much nicer looking list of navigation links.
Lots more little stuff
We’ve also fixed a bug in our linkboxes that sometimes caused them to line up out of place. We’ve improved the interface in several places (I couldn’t believe how much we needed a “Back to dashboard” button until I started using it everyday). And, hopefully, in general just made the app a little snappier and easier to use. Thanks for reading and, as always, your feedback is welcome.
