Doing some design work for the new dashboard.

Adding the nav bar onto the new marketing site

Building up the new marketing site, the first part is building out a template I can reuse to add other pages on to the site.

Worked up a new header.

Share a feature on feature Friday

A quick update to fix the footer on the emails Audience is sending, it was missing in some cases.

Finally did a bit of clean up on the landing page for commented.

It was needed, the old page still had a "coming soon" on it. so might be time to go a bit further.

Dropped this into discussions, share a different feature you have built everyweek. It doesn't have to be something new could be something old, or something blue.

Building in public isn't just about what you do now but also what you have been doing.

So pop on over to discussions.

Designing a set of emails for Audience, first up is the daily digest, this email will send with a list of new signups.

Adding a gif to the tweet.

I've also added the ability to remove the gif or change it, change uses the same search you just used. One of my pet peeves is when I want to change the gif and have to start the search all over again.

I've added the giphy search into Contentr. I do like my gif's

Adding in the bio, profile photo

I've also added the links to my other photography profiles.

It's time to get building on my new photography site, it's a just for fun project but needed. I've had a few people asking me when they spot me out doing photography.

Found a bug while working on the new coming soon page, and hooking it back into Audience.

I'm finding more now that I'm really working with it and dog flooding it more.

My side project now has a side project, that has to get me maker points?!? :D

An automated product built with the core components of Audience, Hook up an RSS feed and it will send a newsletter for every new post.

Ok, it's been a while since I shared an update on anything, renovating the house has been taking a huge amount of my time.

Building out the MJML support in the editor. You can now take your MJML template and load it into Audience, Audience will let you preview and then generate the email from the MJML framework.

You can edit the MJML or the HTML it generates, send previews and schedule the emails.

I think I'm going to add support as well so you can save the MJML templates and reuse them. Will have a think about how to do that.

Ok I think it might be time to start making a return. I've been flat out on the house renovation for the last while. So haven't been making as much progress on Audience or Contentr.

But things, they are a changing.

You can now select your RSS feed, and add a link to your post directly into the email body.

Going to work on the other templates and views next, being able to add them as cards, etc.

The new layout is starting to come together now. I've tried a few different layouts but so many felt really crowded and cluttered.

Starting to build out one I really like now though.
