June 2024

December 2023

• Added automatic account deletion when your account hasn’t been confirmed within 7 days and you created no shoutouts or themes.

• Fixed an issue when creating a new account. Whoops!

• Fixed issues with deleting a user account when you were subscribed. It actually deleted the account, but it threw an error anyway.
• Tweak the layout of the account page.

September 2023

• Tweaked embed code to render HTML in one line instead of several. Couldn’t help it.

June 2023

• Added ability to return a shuffled set of shoutouts when using the JSON endpoint.
• When you delete your account, we’ll now send a goodbye email… just to say… bye.

May 2023

• Added the ability to export all of your shoutouts to a CSV file. Head on over to account settings.
• Added support for upload WebP images. Apparently they’re a thing.
• Fixed an issue loading external stylesheets in the Themes preview panes, where it wouldn’t adjust the size correctly after the CSS file loaded.
• Fixed an issue that caused the ?all parameter to throw an error when embedding your shoutouts.

April 2023

• Added the ability to hide the instructions in the Themes section and added a little bit of extra text to the documentation regarding the extra_data field.
• Fixed an issue that would cause the Themes section to throw an error when trying to load the previews, when there wasn’t a shoutout to render.
• Improved loading template previews, on the Themes page, that have external stylesheets in far away locations.
• Added an extra data field for shoutouts that you can use with custom templates, by calling {{extra_data}} in the template.
• Images are now served from our CDN.
• Fixed an issue that prevented themes from being created for new accounts.
• Added the ability to fetch a shoutout by id:
  • Add a parameter of shoutout= with a given ID to your embed script.
  • Find the shoutout id on the relevant shoutout next to the edit button.
• Added the ability to bring in your own stylesheet for the main Themes page preview. Super useful if you want to see what it looks like on your actual site.
• Added support for Themes:
  • Having different themes allows you to create a Theme for that one-off website or page you have, without affecting your other embeds.
