November 7, 2024 / 😮‍💨 Whiteboard Text Editor v.2, Search exact match using quotes, and many improvements

Whiteboard: Text Editor v.2 (bold, italic, links)

We’ve enhanced the text editing experience on Whiteboard (a lot). New text editor is based on ProseMirror (as are all Fibery documents and rich text fields).

Whiteboard text editor supports essential text formatting options, including bold, italic, strikethrough, and :link: hyperlink insertion. These formatting options are available in text blocks, shapes, and stickers.

It took us almost two months to implement, and we hope it will worth every penny :sweat_smile:.

Documents and Rich Text Fields performance: avoid jumps when loading mentions

Documents and Rich Text fields rendering improved. Before we rendered a document, then retrieved mentions and refererences, it lead to layout shifts when the mentions were dynamically loaded and displayed.

Now we retrieve mentions and references async and render the document without layout shifts.

As a result, you should experience faster rich text fields loading time, especially on pages with many references.

Search “exact match” using quotes

Sometimes I want to find an exact phrase or text. Fibery search is fuzzy by defalut, so if you look for ID you can find wrong entities: FCW2546YKGA → return FCW2546YKGC, FCW2546YKG7, FCW2546YKG2.

Now you can use quotes "FCW2546YKGA" around the search phrase and exact matches will be returned.

New Space Setup: Fields screen

Space Setup Fields screen got new design and some improvements. You can navigate fields faster and update them faster.

:butterfly: Improvements

  • Support Files in Fibery Zapier Zap. Fibery supports dehydration for files in Zapier now, so you can create Zaps that extracts files from Fibery entity and sends them as attachments via email, for example.
  • Now you can collapse left sidebar just by dragging it to the left.
  • Rich Text dropdown in Feed View sorted alphabetically now
  • When you add an entity via Quick Add, it will appear in Recent Items right away, thus you can quickly access recently added entities even without visiting them.
  • In Space Setup navigation changed. Now when you click on Database name, you will see the database data, and you have to click the arrow to expand the database section. 2024-11-07 16.04.51
