Changelog

New updates and improvements shipped in Superthread 🚀

Mar 24, 2023

Features

Views – we've overhauled the design of our Views feature to make it easier to filter across your workspace to create custom views of only the cards that you want to see.
Filter on card status – for example, show me all the cards assigned to me that are not in ‘Done’.
Create a View from a Board – when applying a filter to a board, you'll now see a 'Save' button which can be used to save the current filter as a new view.
Favourite Views – add any view to the favourites section of you sidebar.
New app theme – we’ve update the default ‘light mode’ theme throughout the app to better match our new website. This also lays the groundwork for an upcoming dark mode 🌒

Improvements

Card relationships – marking a card as blocked, or blocking just got a lot more useful:
Filtering support – you can filter a board or view to show you all the cards that are ‘Blocked’, ‘Blocking’, 'Duplicates', or 'Related'.
Activity feed – when a relationship between cards is created or updated, you’ll now see a history of that in the card’s activity feed.
Real time syncing – teammates that are viewing the same card will now see card relationships update in real time.
We’ve made it easier to invite teammates by improving our email validation rules.

Fixes

Fixed a rare issue where exiting a brand new page would navigate you to the new board flow.

Features

Drafts for card comments – when writing a comment on a card, if you need to close the card to double check some information, you can now re-open it and pick up where you left off without your unfinished comment being lost.
Child cards progress meter – when viewing a parent card, you can now see the total number of cards and a progress meter for them.

Improvements

Sidebar drag and drop – we've been working hard behind the scenes to make dragging things up and down the sidebar feel a lot nicer. Hopefully you should be able to consistently drop things exactly where you intend to, every time.
Real time syncing for spaces – making changes to the contents of a space will now also be synced in real time to other users. This includes renaming the space, changing its icon, and modifying the boards in it (such as adding boards, re-ordering boards, updating board names etc).
In search results, spaces that match your search term will now display if you are a member of the space, or not.
We've simplified our importing process to no longer allow Trello or Jira imports into private spaces. This means your teammates can easily find the cards they have been assigned to after the import finishes.
We've tweaked the behaviour of the dropdown for choosing the status of a new list to make it easier to keyboard navigate.
We've tweaked the colours and contrast of items in the sidebar, and added a new settings icon.

Fixes

On mobile, the buttons in the sidebar now have the same position in the favourites and spaces sections.
Dragging a board into a space with no existing boards will now correctly highlight the entire space as a drop target in the sidebar.
The vertical blue line that appears to highlight that the sidebar can be resized will no longer show up when dragging things in the sidebar.
On mobile, cards will now consistently open in fullscreen.
After printing a page, the sidebar will no longer change colour.
Parent cards that have had all their children archived will no longer be coloured blue in the board preview.
When in the list view of a board, archiving a child card will now correctly update the UI to remove the connecting blue line from the the parent.
We cleaned up some old URL routes that are no longer used and could cause users to get stuck on a screen with a loading bird animation.
When viewing a parent card, creating or archiving one of its child cards will now update in the small card in the board immediately.
Members that have been removed from your workspace will no longer be displayed as a member of Space-ID 1.
Closing a card immediately after changing its status will no longer cause the card to jump between statuses in the board.
Links to untitled blank pages are now clickable again.
Renaming a blank new page after navigating to a different space, now saves the page in the correct space.
Added a missing top-border to the 'Add child card button'.
Archived child cards are no longer counted in the child card progress meter.

Automatically show/hide the sidebar – if you choose to close the sidebar, moving your mouse over to the edge of the screen will now automatically open it. You can also close/open sidebar using the new keyboard shortcut Cmd + \ on MacOS or Ctrl + \ on Windows.

Improvements

We've tweaked the colour and font of linked Github pull requests so that they better match the other sections in a card.

Fixes

We've fixed some missing hover states for buttons in comments and the settings pages.
The 'Log in with Google' option will no longer keep logging you in same account when attempting to switch to a different Google account.
In a board, clicking to open a card will now work even if the card's 3 dot menu is currently open.
When dragging a card into a different space will now show the correct drop target when hovering over a board preview.
The hover state for cards in a board has been fixed so that it consistently disappears after you finish hovering or when closing an open card.
In a card, opening the status dropdown will no close the assignee dropdown, and vice versa.
Opening the workspace dropdown at the top of the sidebar will now cause other dropdowns to close.

Drafts for quick pages – when using the keyboard shortcut p to quickly create a new page, we now save whatever you type as a draft. This means you can close the quick page modal, check something, and come back to it without loosing your work.

Bugs

Fixed an issue where redirecting to the workspace picker screen would get stuck on a loading screen after logging in.
Dragging a board from one space and dropping it into the homepage of a different space now works again.
