🔗 Richtext extensions

Exciting news! Our rich-text editor has just been upgraded to include support for links! 🎉

This enhancement is particularly useful when working on slides, as you now have the ability to add external links. Whether it's a link to a valuable resource, your website, or your social media profiles, you can effortlessly incorporate them into your content.

Furthermore, we've also introduced the ability to format text in italic and underline styles. These additional styling options offer even more flexibility to customize your text and make it stand out.

📏 Guidelines while resizing

You'll now see Snapping Guidelines while resizing elements on the canvas. This helps you to align elements to each other. You can deactivate them by pressing while resizing.

We now also show a small Size indicator on the top left of the element.


📷 OpenGraph Images for your Snaps

When you share your snaps on Social Media or other platforms via its public URL, we show a preview image of your snap as the open graph image.

After initially publishing your snaps the OG image will first be generated. You can regenerate it manually at any given time. In the future we'd like to support uploading custom OG images as well.

📸 Background presets

We've introduced some Presets to easily change the size of your snap to the desired format of well-known social media platforms. We also added three presets for creating Slides in your presentation.

When you choose a preset, the background will enable to keep the aspect ratio, so you can resize it and still keep the desired format. You can toggle off the aspect ratio flag at any time.
