Our 2017 Year in Review

Globally 2017 was a bit of a doozy, but thanks to a scarcity of fidget spinners around Hail Labs our worker pigeons pecked out some of the best and most important features and enhancements to date.

But we're far from resting on our laurels. We've already been busy over the holidays and are very close to shipping a brand new feature that'll have you grinning from ear to ear! 😀

In case you missed some, read on for the list of major features we shipped in 2017 and a sneak peek at this year's plans.

New Enhancements

As some of you have already noticed, we've just updated the Published Article and Publication edit screen to provide handy new buttons for opening, copying the link and adding articles directly to your publications and homepage.

We've also improved Hail's text editor to correctly format all web and email addresses you add — no more broken links!

We're sure these tweaks will save you a lot of time and hassle. Just reload Hail in your browser for all the latest goodies.
