Fider 0.26.0 has been released with dark theme support, more languages, and lots of new features

We've been hard at work over the past year adding exciting new features to Fider, and we're thrilled to announce the release of version 0.26.0! We've not said much about the other releases we've done this last year, so let's dive into all the new stuff that's happened this past year:

#1: Dark / Light Theme Support

Fider now supports both dark and light themes, allowing users to choose the viewing experience that works best for them.

#2: Rich Text Comment Editor

Say goodbye to plain text comments! We've upgraded our comment editor to support rich text formatting, making your feedback and discussions more expressive and easier to read.

With the new editor, you can now:

  • Format text with bold, italic, and strikethrough
  • Create organized lists
  • Add code blocks with syntax highlighting
  • Insert hyperlinks with proper formatting
  • Structure your thoughts with headings

This enhancement makes complex feedback and technical discussions much clearer and more professional-looking.

#3: Mentions

Communication in Fider just got more interactive! You can now mention other users in your comments by typing '@' followed by their username. This feature is perfect for:

  • Directing questions to specific team members
  • Bringing relevant stakeholders into the conversation
  • Ensuring the right people see important feedback
  • Creating more engaging discussions

When you mention someone, they'll receive a notification, ensuring they don't miss important conversations where their input is needed.

#4: Reactions

Express yourself quickly with our new reactions feature! Now you can add emoji reactions to comments, providing a quick way to acknowledge or respond without writing a full comment.

Reactions help teams gauge sentiment at a glance and encourage more engagement from users who might not otherwise take the time to write a full response. They're also a fun way to celebrate good ideas or show agreement.

#5: UI Improvements Across the Board

We've made numerous UI enhancements throughout Fider to improve usability and create a more cohesive experience:

  • Redesigned navigation for better accessibility
  • More consistent button and form styles
  • Better spacing and typography for improved readability
  • Enhanced contrast and visual hierarchy

These improvements make Fider not only more beautiful but also more intuitive and efficient to use.

Other Improvements

In addition to these major features, we've also made numerous under-the-hood improvements:

  • Enhanced accessibility throughout the application
  • Additional language support
  • Security updates and bug fixes
  • Improved documentation
