Today we're releasing a major set of updates to Flylighter, including a complete overhaul of our UI, a massive speed increase, and tons of quality-of-life features. This release also puts general availability right around the corner!
This is a truly massive release, so expect additional content and updates to our docs in the coming days covering the changes.
Major Changes & New Additions
Complete visual redesign.
Redesigned how autofilled properties are presented for greater clarity.
Icon, Title, and URL now fill in automatically when creating a new Flow. (This behavior can be changed in Settings → Flows)
Added an option to restore your last Flow in Capture History. In the case of errors during capture, you will receive a prompt on next open to do so.
Article & full page capture has been substantially improved, and the undefined bug has been resolved.
Added a quick open command bar for quickly opening Flows that can be activated with
⌃ + ⇧ + K(Mac) /Alt + Shift + K(Win)Added initial support for the native Side Panel for browsers that support it (Chrome & Edge). Side Panel features should be considered experimental, and you may run into bugs.
While browsing the web with the Side Panel open, data in the Data Picker will update in real-time, allowing for content from multiple sites to be captured in a single Flow.
Expanding the side panel with a Flow open will activate an expanded view with properties and the page content editor open side-by-side.
Auto-fill indicators will become orange and have a unique message for data and content that has changed due to page change.
Added a changelog summary and a link to full change logs to the help menu (?).
Improved performance, with faster opening and faster Flow load.
Improved detection of database changes. Flows should more accurately reflect changes made to it's target database in Notion.
