🤩 The textarea element is now a rich-text editor

From today our textarea is not a simple textarea containing only plaintext anymore. It’s now a fully fletched richtext editor, powered by the mighty tiptap editor! Watch the video below to get an overview how it works. 👇

snappify can now be embedded via an iframe

As you might know, snappify is already embedded into other products like FeedHive or ThreadStart via our npm package. But until now, only our old editor was embedded their.

We’re super excited that from today also our new editor ismbeddable via an iframe and is already live on FeedHive and ThreadStart! 🙌

📜 New font families for text elements

Pro users are now able to set a different font family for their text elements, which gives you even more possibility to customize the images of your code for your own brand. 🙌

New image upload modal

When you want to upload an image you’ll now see a fancy new modal where you’re also able to reuse recently uploaded images.

🔥 More authentication providers

From today it’s possible to sign up / login to snappify with more authentication providers than just Twitter. We’re happy to tell you that you’re now also able to use the following providers:

• Google
• LinkedIn
• Facebook

If there’s another provider you’d like to be added pls contact us.

(Monthly) recurring subscriptions

Until now it was only possible to subscribe to our Pro features by doing a one-time payment for a one-year subscription via Gumroad. We’ve implemented this as a quick solution to enable payments, but of course it wasn’t meant as a long-term solution.

Today we’re happy to announce that we’ve introduced recurring subscriptions via Paddle. Together with that, we additionally introduced monthly subscriptions.

Existing Pro users are able to subscribe via the new subscription model as soon as their initial one-year subscription runs out. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us.

🤠 Profile info settings

It’s now possible to update your profile info settings. Define an avatar, full name and your username for several platforms which will then be reused in the profile info elements throughout your snaps.

If you select a profile info element you can choose the platform which should be used for this element on the right toolbar.

✨ New syntax highlighting with Shiki

We’ve refactored our code editor to do syntax highlighting with Shiki, a powerful tool which gives us the possibility to create precise syntax highlighting for well-known VS Code themes.

In the future we want to add the possibility to add custom themes and if you’re missing a VS Code theme which you’d like to use in snappify, please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can add it to our list of themes!

Free-Canvas

From now on the snap is centered on the canvas and can also be moved around by clicking the Scroll-Wheel on your mouse and dragging it around.

Additionally it’s now possible to zoom in and out when you press   Ctrl + Scroll.

At the same time we could further improve the performance of our editor, which overall results in a very nice UX like you’re used to from other design apps like Figma.

Shortcuts Overview

The snappify editor is getting more powerful over time and for better usability we already have a bunch of shortcuts to ease the process of creating beautiful code snippets.

To get a better overview about all of our shortcuts we introduced a new popover so you can get a nice overview! 🙌

✍️ Edit History

Everyone knows it can be annoying if you accidentally change something without the possibility to undo your changes. That’s a problem from yesterday!

From now on you’re able to Undo & Redo changes you did in your current snappify session.

Just have a look at the “Shortcuts” menu to see which keyboard shortcuts you can use depending on your operating system.
