The Sync Update
mood.site now syncs across viewers looking at the same page! No more refreshing to see changes!
Hot off the heels of The Collections Update I wanted to try working on a feature that felt like a bit of a moonshot - giving mood real-time syncing. Up to this point, if you and someone else were looking at a board, you would need to refresh the page to get each other's changes.
However now, syncing happens automatically! You can see it in action here:
This is great for those of you that collaborate with others actively on mood boards, as you no longer need to coordinate between each other to tell someone that you updated. And to be clear, this isn't just new images. Everything syncs here now:
- Image size changes
- Page layout options
- Page settings
- Captions
- Image arrangement/ordering
Basically, it should sync everything. If you see any issue with syncing let me know!
Additionally, I also took the time after collections to fix some bugs/speed up things regarding image layouts. All your images should layout a bit faster now, but also noticeably not see weird images flying around when re-arranging images. It's not a banner feature, but hopefully things just feel a bit better.
Enjoy!
