We’re here to break our silence after a long period with our heads down.

Is your digest too small? Follow a few more anchors and you’ll soon be topped up with great content, curated by your peers.

We’re here to break our silence after a long period with our heads down. I know, we never call, we never write. It doesn’t mean we don’t care. Over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work on a series of releases. The most obvious change is a completely rebuilt email digest, which launched today. Digests are more handsome, useful, and clear, and they now feature far more content for each of your followed anchors.

Is your digest too small? Follow a few more anchors and you’ll soon be topped up with great content, curated by your peers.

Here are some of other highlights you’ll notice in the app since our last update:

General email templating system and improved layout for all system emails
Launched ‘Ambassador’ program, with bling throughout the app (https://plow.io/@ardiadrianadri)
Tap an unused key for a helper modal with available shortcuts
Brand new, streamlined setup/personalize account experience
Keyboard shortcuts for sharing (and some repairs)
New url routing structure to ensure proper click to post flow from 3rd party email alerts (‘post/slug’)
Improvements to comment submission performance
New post blocking flow for posts violating community standards
Better date stamp conventions throughout the app
Default images for posts lacking images
Eliminate case sensitivity on urls
Repairs for endorsement tweets
New default anchor and user header images/selector
End of feed anchor recommendations

Thanks again for your support. Please let us know what you think of these changes, and let us know what else you would love to see.

See you in PLOW!
