Changelog
What’s new on herepage. Shipped in the open.
Tiles Wrap When You Reduce Columns
Reducing your grid's column count now wraps any wide tile that would hang off the right edge down to the next row, instead of leaving it overflowing the page. Applies on both desktop and mobile.
Profile Photo Picks Up Your Grid Border
When you set a border on your grid tiles, your profile photo now shows the same border, so the avatar matches the rest of the page.
Link Previews Appear Automatically
When you add a link tile in the editor, its favicon and preview image now show up on their own a moment after you add it, no refresh needed.
Mobile Edits No Longer Disturb Your Desktop Layout
On a page without section titles, reordering or editing tiles on mobile no longer rearranges your desktop layout. Each viewport keeps its own arrangement.
Type Full Lightbox Descriptions Without Losing Focus
Editing a lightbox description, title, or info line no longer kicks you out after a character or two. You can type a full multi-word description and the cursor stays put.
Place Tiles Anywhere On Your Grid Again
You can once again drop a tile anywhere on the grid, leave a row empty, or keep a deliberate gap. Dragging or resizing a tile now nudges only the tiles it actually overlaps, in order, instead of repacking the whole section to the top left. Need everything tidied up flush? That stays a one tap Tidy action.
Link Tiles Show Favicon, Title, and a Preview Image
Link tiles now describe where they go. Each shows the site's favicon and domain alongside your title, and a 2x2 or larger tile adds the page's preview image across the bottom. Smaller tiles, or links with no preview image, keep the clean favicon and title layout.
The Dots Background Pattern Is Visible Again
Picking the Dots background now paints a soft dot field on your page. It was rendering a dot too faint to see, so the option looked like it did nothing.
A Roomier Editor Toolbar On Phones
The back-to-dashboard home button now sits on its own, so it and the styling toolbar no longer get squeezed off the edge of a narrow screen. On a phone it moves to the top-left as a back chevron and the toolbar spans the full width at the bottom. On desktop the home button sits on the left, centered down the side.
Resizing and Reordering Tiles Keeps Your Layout in Order
When you make a tile bigger it now stays where it is and the surrounding tiles move to make room, instead of the tile jumping to a new spot. And dragging a tile to a new position keeps the order of the others intact, so reordering one tile no longer shuffles the rest.
The Media Gallery Is Now the Image Gallery
The gallery for picking images is now called the "Image gallery" and shows only images. Videos are added by their streaming link, so they no longer appear here.
Larger Profile Photos
Profile photos are now twice as large across the editor, so your portrait reads as the centerpiece of the page.
Add a Description to Your Video Lightbox
Video tiles that open in the lightbox can now carry a short description under the title. Open the lightbox in the editor and write one inline; it shows for visitors below the title and stays hidden when left empty.
Edit the Lightbox Title and Description Without It Closing
You can now write the lightbox title inline, alongside the description, and editing either no longer closes the modal when you click, type, or select text. Only the close button or a click on the dimmed background closes it.
Upload a Profile Photo During Setup
You can now upload a profile photo while setting up your page, instead of only pasting an image URL. Uploads go through the same optimized image pipeline the editor uses, and the URL option is still there if you prefer it.
Page Background Patterns Show Again
Selecting a background pattern now paints it over your paper background in the editor, including inside the mobile preview where it was hidden before.
Resume Starter Retired From New Page
The New Page picker no longer offers the Resume starter. Pages already built from it keep working exactly as before. The remaining starters, link in bio, contact card, portfolio, and coming soon, cover the same ground.
See a Preview of Each Starter Template
The starter picker now shows a small preview of each template's layout, so you can see what link in bio, contact card, portfolio, and the rest look like before you choose. The previews are drawn from the templates themselves, so they always match what you get.
Trial Countdown On the Dashboard and Editor
While you are on a trial, a small bar now shows how many days you have left, with a "Start a plan" button, on both your dashboard and the page editor. It disappears once you are on a paid plan.
One Consistent Starter Picker
The template picker in onboarding and the "New page" picker on your dashboard now use the same starter cards, so choosing a starting point looks and behaves the same wherever you create a page.
New Pages Start With Your Social Links
When you create a page, the social links we detect are now added as real, editable link tiles, and they show in your profile right away. They live on your page like any other tile, so you can move, edit, or remove them whenever you like.
Preview A Tile's Link Or Lightbox While Editing
The little link or lightbox icon in a tile's top-right corner now lets you preview what a visitor's click will do. Hover or tap it in the editor and it becomes a "preview" button: click it to open the link in a new tab, or pop open the lightbox, without leaving the editor.
Resizing a Tile Keeps It in Its Section
Growing a tile in a section that's already full now opens a new row right there in that section, instead of dropping the tile to the bottom of the page. Your sections stay in order while you resize.
Show Your Links as Profile Social Icons
Links can now appear as social icons in your profile, the left rail on desktop and the row under your photo on mobile. Open a link's editor and use the new "Show in profile" switch (on by default for link tiles). The icon pops into place as you toggle it.
Tile Size Menu Opens on Click
The per-tile size menu now opens when you click it, not when your pointer brushes past, so it no longer pops open by accident. Open menus also always sit on top of the other tile controls.
Autoplay Videos Loop Cleanly
In-grid autoplay videos now loop seamlessly with the platform's player controls hidden, so a clip no longer stops on a "keep watching" screen. Opening a video in the lightbox still plays it normally with sound and full controls.
Choose Your Grid Cell Shape
The grid settings now include a Shape control. Keep cells square, or switch the whole grid to portrait (taller than wide) or landscape (wider than tall). Per-cell sizing still works the same way and fills to match.
Desktop Grids Top Out at 8 Columns
The desktop column picker now goes up to 8 columns. Pages that were set to 9 or 10 columns now display at 8. Wider grids will return once their layout is refined.
Tiles Stay In Their Section When Dragging
Dragging a tile onto an occupied spot no longer flings the bumped tile to the bottom of the page or into another section. It now moves to the next open spot within the same section, adding a row there if the section is full.
Videos Autoplay in the Editor Preview
Video tiles now autoplay muted while you edit, the same as they do on your published page, so the editor shows exactly what visitors see. Clicking a tile still just selects it, and turning autoplay off (or using reduced motion) keeps the still poster.
Resize Icon Tiles
Icon tiles can now size their glyph. A new size button in the tile's bottom-right corner opens three presets, from the large default down to two smaller sizes.
Link Tiles Show Site Favicons
Link tiles that point to a website now show that site's favicon, and a link with no label falls back to the page's own title. The icons are fetched in the background after you save, so they appear on the next visit.
Simpler Link Tile Editing
Link tiles now edit like every other tile. Set the URL from the link button in the top-right corner, type the label right on the tile, and tune its type from the "T" button. The separate edit panel is gone, and so is the centered platform-icon look: every link reads as a label with the site, social handle, email, or phone in the corner.
Roomier Tiles In The Editor
A tile's hover controls (delete, link, size, and edit) now sit half off the tile's edges instead of inside it, giving your content more room to breathe while you edit.
Tidier Tile Controls
A tile's editing controls now group into two slim toolbars on its sides: the left one (link, size, delete) appears on every tile, and the right one holds the controls specific to that tile, like a video's autoplay and lightbox toggles. They show on hover, the same as before.
Videos Fill Their Tile
Video tiles now fill the whole tile instead of showing black bars when the tile isn't a 16:9 shape. The video crops to cover the tile, both in the editor and on your page. Opening a video full screen still shows the entire frame.
Video Tiles Are Draggable Again
You can click and drag an autoplaying video tile to move it in the editor again. The playing preview no longer swallows the drag.
Videos Fill Their Tiles Without Black Bars
In-grid videos now fill the tile edge to edge using the video's real shape, so a non-16:9 Vimeo no longer shows black bars. Opening a video in the lightbox still shows the whole frame.
Badge and Kudos in the Editor
The editor now shows the "Make your HerePage" badge and the Kudos button at the bottom of your page preview, so you always see them while editing, not just on the published page. In the editor they are display-only: the count is there for context, but clicking it does not change your own kudos.
Sections Stay in Sync Across Desktop and Mobile
Tiles now belong to the same section on both desktop and mobile. Move a tile into a different section on either view and the other view follows, while each view keeps its own arrangement within the section. The two layouts can no longer drift out of agreement.
Consistent Per-Tile Corner Controls
Every tile's editing controls now sit in consistent spots: delete top-left, link top-right, size bottom-left, and a type-specific edit control (change image, choose icon, edit video) bottom-right. Any tile can now carry a link, including text and video tiles. The old play badge in the corner of video tiles is gone.
Set a Tile Link from a Top-Right Button
Photo and icon tiles now have a link button in the top-right corner, mirroring the delete button. Click it to set or clear the address the tile opens, right on the tile instead of from the toolbar. You can type a bare domain like example.com and it fills in https:// for you.
Videos Preview and Play in the Editor
Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, and Dailymotion videos now show a play button in the editor and play inline when clicked, just like YouTube. Non-YouTube videos also pull in a poster image where available, so a freshly added video no longer shows up as a blank black box.
Video Autoplay and Lightbox
Video tiles now play more like you'd expect. By default they autoplay muted once they scroll into view (and stay still if you prefer reduced motion). Two new toggles on a video tile let you turn autoplay off or switch on a lightbox, which opens the video full-screen with sound. When a video also has a link, the lightbox shows a "View more" button.
Tile Controls Now Appear On Hover
On desktop, a tile's edit and delete controls now appear when you hover over it, and clicking no longer locks a selection box around it. On touch, tapping a tile still reveals its controls.
Link in bio pages open in mobile preview
Starting a new page from the Link in bio starter now opens the editor in mobile preview. Link in bio pages are almost always viewed on a phone, so the editor matches the width you are designing for. Other starters still open in desktop preview, and the toggle still works.
Cleaner Link Tiles And A Roomier Editor
Link tiles now read more clearly: the label is the headline, and the corner shows the platform icon for social links or the website, email, or phone for everything else. You can still switch a link to the centered platform icon look anytime. Editing a link opens a roomy panel instead of a small popover.
Background patterns in the editor
The editor toolbar has a new Pattern row between Paper and Title. Pick from seven subtle textures (Dots, Cross-stitch, Graph, Lines, Diagonal, Weave, Noise) to layer over your paper color, or leave it on None.
The social icons row is gone
The strip of social icons under the profile name is gone from both the editor and published pages. Add socials as link tiles in the grid instead. The matching tile in the "Add a card" gallery is also gone.
Section Titles Insert And Remove A Row
Adding a section title now pushes the tiles below it down a row to make room, and deleting one pulls them back up to close the gap. Regular tiles are unaffected.
Adding a card is now one click
The card gallery in the editor adds a card the moment you click it and closes itself. No more queue, no count badge, no Add button. The picker is now titled "Add a card".
A simpler card menu
The "Add a card" gallery now shows one card per concept. Caption and date variants of Image, Video, and Section are gone. Every card lands at the smallest size, so you pick a card first and resize it after placing.
Kudos for Everyone, Plus Follow
Anyone can give kudos on a page now, signed in or not, and the running total shows next to the heart. Each tap plays a fresh little celebration, but only your first one counts. After you give kudos to someone else's page, you can follow the creator in one tap. Page owners see their lifetime and weekly kudos in analytics.
Affiliate program signup
A new /affiliates page captures interest from people who want to earn a share of every here.page subscription they send our way. Tell us about your audience and what commission feels fair, and we'll be in touch when the program launches.
Storage limits per plan
Each plan now includes a storage limit for original images. The free plan includes 1 GB. Delivery copies and resized versions don't count toward your limit.
Profile lives in a left sidebar on desktop
On desktop, your photo, name, bio, and social links now sit in a sticky left sidebar while your grid takes the full right side of the page. The Save button on shared pages is now a Kudos heart, and visitors see a small "Make your HerePage" link in the bottom-left corner. Mobile is unchanged.
Profile header is static again, with the URL always visible
The editor's profile header no longer animates on scroll. It stays at hero size with the photo, name, bio, social icons, and `here.page/handle` URL all visible the whole time. Bio sits tight against the name now too.
Section titles align correctly on mobile
Section titles on your page now line up the same way on desktop and mobile. Previously the title hugged the first photo of the next section on mobile instead of sitting above the section like it does on desktop. Behind the scenes they're part of the same grid as your tiles, so they move with the content as you reorder things.
Dashboard and template cards show desktop and mobile side-by-side
Each dashboard card and template card now shows a desktop preview and a mobile preview side-by-side, with a phone-shaped frame around the mobile view. Both are live previews of your page, no overlay or corner badge.
Queue multiple tiles from one Add Gallery session
Clicking the same tile card in the Add Gallery now stacks copies in the queue instead of toggling. Click Photo three times and "Add (3)" inserts three photo tiles. Section headers still toggle on and off, since stacking section headers is rarely what you want.
Dashboard cards show a mobile preview overlay
Each dashboard card now shows your desktop and mobile layouts side by side: the desktop preview fills the card and a phone-shaped preview anchors in the bottom-right corner. Both reflect the same page, just at different viewport widths.
Profile picker moves next to your greeting
The avatar in the top-right of the dashboard is now a plain link to your pages. To change your profile icon, click the new icon next to the greeting at the top of the dashboard.
Text alignment buttons return to the editor
The text-style toolbar now has left, center, and right alignment buttons next to the size presets. Text tiles default to center alignment when nothing is set, matching how most tiles already looked.
Text tiles default to your title font
Text tiles and link tile labels now render in your page's title font. Captions, link hosts, and bios stay on the body font, so the title and body pairing you pick from the editor carries through more visibly across the page.
Cleaner editor toolbar header
The editor's toolbar header is simpler. The gear icon next to the URL is gone, and clicking your `here.page/handle` pill now opens a centered modal to customize your URL. Clicking anywhere along the header bar opens the panel; the chevron on the far right collapses it. Saving a new URL updates the browser address bar in place, with no extra back-button entry.
Undo retired before launch
The editor no longer has undo or redo. Changes save automatically as you make them and are now permanent in-session, so be deliberate when deleting tiles or clearing text. Cmd/Ctrl+Z does nothing inside the editor.
Cleaner Dashboard, One List
The dashboard now shows your pages as a single list instead of behind a tab strip. The Saved tab is hidden until visitor-facing bookmarking ships; old links to /dashboard?tab=saved still resolve normally and show your pages.
Visitor Analytics for Your Pages
Each of your pages now tracks views and link-out clicks. Hover any page in your dashboard and click the Analytics chip to see the last 7 or 30 days: total views, top links, where your traffic is coming from, and a country breakdown. Your own visits and preview loads never count.
Profile Photo Editable on Template Pages
Starting a page from any template now drops you into an editor with a clickable profile photo slot, just like the default new-page flow. Templates were skipping that placeholder so the upload affordance never rendered and you couldn't add a photo without manual workarounds.
All Tile Sizes on Every Tile Type
The hover toolbar under a selected tile now offers all six size buttons (1x1, 2x1, 1x2, 2x2, 3x2, 2x3) on every tile type, not just photos and videos. Moving the mouse from the tile into the toolbar no longer flickers, since the toolbar overlaps the tile's bottom edge instead of sitting a few pixels below it.
Resize Tiles Right From the Tile
Selecting a tile now shows a small dark toolbar tucked under it, with icon-only size buttons for one-tap resizing. The same buttons used to live in the white popover; moving them next to the tile makes the popover lighter and resizing more direct.
Claim Your Promo Code on the Waitlist
The coming-soon page now has an optional promo code field below the email input. Tap "I have a promo code" to reveal it, paste your code, and we'll hold the deal for you. When billing opens, the code redeems automatically at checkout.
Editor locks to mobile preview on phones
On phone-size browsers the editor now opens in mobile preview and hides the desktop/mobile toggle. The desktop layout was unreadable at that width and the toggle was wasted chrome. Resizing back to a wider window restores the toggle and your last preview choice.
Inline captions on every tile
Captions now edit inline on text, link, and symbol tiles, matching the behavior already on image and video tiles. Click a tile's caption row to type, with both the left main caption and the right secondary caption.
Edit Photos and Videos Right From the Tile
Photo and video tiles now show a quick edit button when you hover or tap them. Clicking it opens the image picker for photos, or a small URL form for videos, so swapping media no longer requires opening the popover. The profile photo gets the same button so the editor reads as one system.
Undo restores column count changes
Changing the number of columns in the editor now participates in undo and redo. Previously, undoing after a column change left items in their pre-change positions while the grid stayed at the new width, which could hide tiles that had been on the rightmost columns.
Video captions edit inline
Click a video tile and edit its caption directly on the tile, the same way image captions work. The "Caption (optional)" field has been removed from the video popover.
Add multiple tiles in one go
The Add gallery now lets you queue several tiles before dropping them onto your page. Click a card to add it to the queue (a number badge shows its position), then hit Add to insert them all in one step.
Add menu becomes a tile gallery
Clicking Add now opens a gallery of pre-built tiles you can preview live in your page's fonts and paper before dropping them on the grid. Search to narrow it down. Section title variants live at the bottom.
Photo tiles get a right-side caption
Photo tiles can now show a small secondary caption on the right of the caption row, like a date, location, or stat. Add it from the photo popover or click the right slot on the tile to type one inline.
Captions on every tile
You can now add a left and right caption to any tile, not just photos. The left slot fits a label like a stat name, the right slot a small mono detail like a date. Edit both from the popover.
Inline-editable photo captions
Captions on image tiles are now editable in place. Click the bottom of any photo to type or update its caption, the same way you edit your name or bio. The caption field has been removed from the image toolbar.
One sign-in screen for new and returning users
The /login page now welcomes new and returning users equally. New users see a quiet "Pick your handle" prompt on the dashboard once they're signed in, dismissible per session, until they claim a vanity URL.
Universal media gallery
A single dark-themed media gallery now opens whenever you pick an image or swap a video. Click your profile photo or any image tile to upload, paste a URL, browse everything you've already added, or import from GitHub or Gravatar, all on one screen. The back button closes it just like any page.
Group membership banner moves under the toolbar; one Publish toggle
The group membership pills no longer float in the top-right of the editor. They now sit as a dark banner just below the toolbar, with a single Publish or Unpublish button that flips your page between draft and live. Publishing also drops you into the group gallery so you can see your entry. On contest pages the call-to-action now reads "Submit to contest"; permanent groups still say "Join {name}".
Mobile preview now shows a profile card
In mobile preview the page header stacks photo, name, bio, and social links vertically as a profile card, instead of squeezing the desktop's horizontal row onto a phone. The header stays in place as you scroll.
Stat tiles are now editable text tiles
The Stat tile is no longer a separate type. It's a Text tile with a Stat preset, so you can click it to type just like any other text. The Add button still has a Stat shortcut, and the popover lets you switch a Text tile between Body and Stat at any time.
Delete a tile from its top-right corner
Each tile now shows a small trash button in its top-right corner on hover, so deleting one no longer requires opening the popover. The bottom-left delete link is gone; the popover keeps Done.
Default avatars from your email
Every account now starts with an avatar derived from your email, so the topbar isn't blank before you upload one. If you've set up Gravatar, you'll see your photo automatically. The Gravatar option has been removed from the upload menu since it now happens by default.
