With the latest update, the tags have been reworked to allow you to use colors, hide them from public users, and quickly search or create new ones from any post.
Head over to your Featurebase Dashboard -> Settings -> Tags to add color to your existing tags.
You can also make tags private to hide them from all public board visitors. It's great for giving more context to a post internally.
To create new tags you no longer have to go to the settings. Just type the name of your new tag into the Tag dropdown input field and click "Create new".

Due to recently increasing server loads, we made significant upgrades to our infrastructure to enable faster loading times and greater reliability.
In addition to that, we shipped some features to help you manage feedback even better:
You can send metadata along with a post to identify what version of your app a client is using & other custom information
Reorder boards, statuses, and tags from the settings
Support for code blocks in the text editor
Fixed a bug with navigating to all posts from the public board
Embed Youtube videos (Support for all video types is coming soon)
Can now mark onboarding steps as completed from one button
Changed board prefilled content to use placeholder rather than text
Featurebase will continue tracking your Linear issue when you convert it into a project
and many other small bug fixes...

We're happy to announce a lot of improvements and new features to Featurebase. π
The Dashboard has received an extensive rework with countless improvements.
Select multiple posts and perform actions on them - You can now select multiple posts by hovering over the left side of a post and do bulk changes on them.
Change Status, Board, and Tags straight from the main view - Change post parameters straight from the Dashboard posts page by clicking on the Status, Board, or Tag element to open a dropdown.
New filters - Filters have been reworked to be easier to use.
Approve posts from dropdown - Rather than opening the post you can approve and reject posts from the main view.
The Roadmap also received tons of improvements with this update.
You can now change the Status, Board, and Tags straight from the roadmap view - This is similar to the changes on the Dashboard posts page.
Quarterly and monthly roadmap - When you change the ETA for posts, you can visualize your product roadmap in a monthly and quarterly view now.
More filtering options & Reworked mobile view - You can now apply a lot of new filters to the roadmap view and the mobile view has also received a rework:
Scheduling - You can now set an exact date and time for when you want your changelog to be released.
Reworked design - The changelog should now be more intuitive to use with new design changes.
Widget light mode - The widget now supports light mode and defaults to the user's default system settings.
Improved design - The widget's layout has also received a slight rework with a nice gradient.
The settings page has been reorganized to make it easier to find stuff.
Featurebase now has an amazing integration with Linear that allows you to sync the state of tasks between the two tools.
Learn more from Dashboard -> Settings -> Linear.
This is just a small set of features that we worked on in January. π
Expect tons of other polishing changes and new features in Q1.

You can now change the default theme of your public feedback board to light or dark.
This will force the theme of your public board to be light or dark (even if the user's system color scheme is different) and remove the theme selector.

We are super excited to launch our feature validator popup.
1. Find a feature you want to validate and click "Validate feature" from the menu.
2. Copy-paste a few lines of code into your app and make the popup open from your desired button or element.
3. Preview how important a feature is and how many people have subscribed to receive updates from it.
4. You just saved a lot of time by not building a feature no one cared about. β
