New

• The “Subscribers” page on the Noticeable dashboard displays the number of email subscriptions you have per project.

• When injecting custom code on Newspages from the Noticeable dashboard, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+S to save and preview your changes as long as your focus remains in the code editor.

• Automatic slug generation from publication titles is now supporting non-Latin characters by using transliteration.

Enhancement

• The label of Click-To-Action buttons is now put in bold to increase its importance and improve readability.

• Fixed code blocks not resizing properly on Newspages when displayed on small screens.

• Fixed an issue preventing the LinkedIn sharing button to work on Newspages.

In early February, we launched support for Single Sign-On (SSO). Today, we are going further and are proud to provide an official integration with Okta: Noticeable appears in the Okta catalog as a verified app with OIDC and SAML support.

One of the main targets for cyber-criminals is your username and password. Each time you log in to a new application, it provides more opportunities for hackers. SSO reduces these chances by only requiring one set of credentials and only logging each user in once per day. Furthermore, using Okta, your company can enforce the use of strong passwords but also custom policies to better protect your organization’s assets.

Single Sign-On is available on our Enterprise plan with unlimited collaborators. Drop us a line if you are interested in giving it a try or want to upgrade.

After several months of hard work, we are proud to introduce a whole new Noticeable!

It’s hard to enumerate all the changes in a single publication. They go from a refreshed logo to a new dashboard with an improved user interface, advanced analytics, new widgets that are fully configurable through a live editor, an easy to use JavaScript SDK to interact with the Noticeable widgets, and many new features including a WYSIWYG editor, pinned publications, private Newspages, and more. Besides, this does not include all the changes we made internally to move the service to the next level.

There is so much to say that we will introduce important changes in dedicated publications in the coming days. In the meantime, here are a few changes you should be aware of:

• Timeline pages are now called Newspages.

• Posts are now referred to as Publications.

• Newspages are now served from the domain noticeable.news for users on the free plan.

• Custom domains are no longer served and verified by Firebase. This enables faster SSL certificate generation and easier maintenance.

• A new widget has been introduced and the legacy widget has been deprecated. You will receive an email with upgrade instructions by the end of the month.

We hope you will like what we made. As always, your comments are welcome. You can react below. 👇

Recently, some of you may have noticed a temporary slowdown with the API and the Timeline pages. The problem was coming from one of our database providers. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue is now resolved.

Noticeable status information is available on the next page:
https://status.noticeable.io

A few weeks have elapsed since our last update. We’re currently busy at making changes to our internal infrastructure to support new features.

Some of you have noticed, in the Chrome developer console, a warning about an imminent HTML imports feature removal. Be reassured, the current version of the Widget will continue to work even after HTML imports removal from Google Chrome.

In the meantime, we’re also working on a new version of the Widget.

Stay tuned!
