Cover images for release notes

Writing a release note is more than just telling your customers what’s new. It is a representation of you and your teams’ collective effort. This has to be at its finest when showcasing, and that’s why today’s update to our changelog module matters.

Hellonext (soon to be featureOS) is the best tool to write your release notes for your product. It is now even better with the ability to add cover images to your changelog posts.

Adding cover image to a changelog post is seamless. When writing the changelog in the beautiful distraction-free editor, you will now see an option on the right to upload a new cover image. Just like what I’m doing while writing this post.

We hope this new feature will help you make your release notes even better and special for your product. Enjoy using Hellonext (featureOS).

👍😄🎉❤️🚀👀🔥

See only posts you voted on

Improvements

Starting today, you can now see the posts you have voted on, rather than viewing everything’s posts. This is now available for all your customers on the user-side feedback portal.

The new “Voted by me” filter is available alongside the other filters that are on the user-side portal. This brings the filters to these options:

  • Latest

  • Top

  • Voted by me

  • Status filters

We hope this helps your customers/users get more done on featureOS (aka Hellonext).

Export Posts from Views, Filters, and More

Users can now export posts directly from their saved views and filtered results. This new feature allows for more streamlined data management and enables users to easily generate datasets based on their specific needs or interests.

  • View-based Export: Export posts directly from the filtered view you are currently browsing. This makes it easy to create a dataset that matches your current perspective.

  • Filter-based Export: Export posts that match your current filter settings. This allows you to create datasets that are specific to your research criteria.

  • CSV Export Support: We've introduced support for CSV exports. Once you select a view or a filter, and click the magical "Export" button, you will receive an email with a link to download the CSV.

The new export feature release is a significant step forward in enhancing user flexibility and control over data management and extraction. The export option is currently available on our Fly High plan and we hope it adds value to your data analysis and research tasks. As always, we welcome feedback to continually improve our service. Happy exporting!

[Improvement] New full-screen forms

Improvements

Starting today, we’re rolling out a full-screen page for users who are creating new posts on Hellonext to give you feedback.

Why will this make it even more easier to collect feedback? How will this help your users? Here’s our thought process behind this decision:

  1. Full-screen forms would help the users get less distracted.

  2. Allows users to think through clearly without the UI calling for the users’ attention.

  3. Gives us room for rapid expansion of features in the coming months.

Here’s a quick screenshot of the new post modal with the full-screen glory:

Unique Letterbox email addresses for your boards!

Improvements

Here’s the holy grail feature if your team frequently receives feedback or requests via email! ✨

Letterbox has been a great way for our customers to capture feedback and interact with them over unique email addresses. When we launched this feature back then, it was an instant hit, and we wanted to level-up this feature for you.

Letterbox v2

Letterbox v2 takes the email capture to a whole new level. You can now configure a letterbox address for each board and automate inbound feedback to that board, helping teams like Support, Billing and Devs keep their focus on a single board, which they handle.

Using Letterbox v2

Head to your DashboardBoards and choose a board → Toggle to Settings → scroll down to Advanced Settings to enable Letterbox and generate the address! We use a combination of the board’s name and a random string to help make it spam free.

Once done, communicate this letterbox address to your customers or use a simple CTA button with a mailto link to trigger the email client. Your customers can now make submissions from the comfort of their email inbox and you are all set.
