We believe in full transparency of how our team is going with our development plans and will aim to show how we’ve responded to all of your feedback.

Here’s a picture of Rosie, Chief Dog Officer (hopefully this will encourage you to read to the end)

🔮 What’s planned in the near future?

New ways for you to share your work more often and to capture feedback easily!

🎉 What’s new

  • Removed Collaborators & Followers feature, read more about the changes we’ve made to this here
  • New toast message pop-up designs (this will hopefully help make any errors you face that slightly bit more pleasant)
  • Introduced the ability to add breakpoints for Text elements and User Actions
  • Introduced the ability to describe the User Action right after creating a new step while in Flows — All Flows page
  • Ability to pan the screen around on the Flows page by clicking and dragging
  • Visual improvements to drag and drop for the Flows page
  • User flow steps on the Flows page will now show the full user action when hovered over — this is for those who love to write really long and complicated user actions!

🛠 Improvements & bug fixes

  • Cleanup of codebase, slight performance improvements
  • Fixed a known Group ordering issue
  • Renamed `Elements — Objects` to `Elements — Data`
  • Improved visibility and usability of scrollbars
  • Implemented more detailed head titles for pages
  • Improved screen responsiveness and sizing for the Flows — Step page for smaller screens
  • Simplified verb actions for Elements
  • Retired the project setup flow to remove friction for new users
  • Fixed a bug for Release Outputs incorrectly displaying the release name and description
  • Implemented text labels under navigation buttons on the Flows — Step page to improve usability
  • Removed number of changes counter on the project list index page to reduce confusion
  • All images uploaded to Primary are now stored on an AWS S3 bucket — this is the first step we are taking in our commitment to keeping all your work encrypted
  • Interfaces in on the Flows page received a bug fix to their hover states
  • Duplicating user flows got a performance improvement and usability improvements
  • Fixed a known bug when switching between the Project and Flows page
  • Updated the copy on the Project Draft page
  • Removed the dropdown options from breadcrumb items if there’s only one option inside to reduce confusion
  • Focus states of input boxes are now more consistent throughout
  • Fixed a known display issue on the Project page for projects with a lot of groups
  • Minor improvements to the understanding of user flow steps for really long actions
  • Implemented text labels to the “Next” and “Prev” buttons on the Flows page

🚨 Known bugs

  • Ability to add new lines for project descriptions, user actions and text elements is broken on Firefox browsers
  • Projects that have no name cause a visual bug on the Project List page
  • Duplicating a user flow will take you back to Group 1 — which isn’t ideal if you’re in other Groups!
  • Email subject of emails when users leave comments in your project is currently “0” — not useful and descriptive 🙂

Feel free to contact us if you see any bugs or have burning feature requests. Shoot me an email at hao@primary.app — this will help us to greatly improve our product in the coming few months ✌️
