A snappier dashboard, and no more fake Stockholm location

The faster page navigation we shipped earlier this month now feels instant. Moving between pages in the dashboard has no flash, no reload, no waiting, it just changes right in front of you.

Settings tabs also have their own proper URLs now, so you can bookmark or share a link straight to the tab you need.

Faster loading on the Dashboard and Settings pages

The Dashboard and Settings pages now load their data in one batch instead of piecemeal, cutting down on the loading flicker you’d see as different parts of the page populated one after another.

Fixes

  • Transferring a Screenly Anywhere screen to another workspace could break its labels, leaving it attached to the old workspace’s Anywhere label instead of the new one. It now transfers correctly.
  • When a screen’s location couldn’t be determined, for example behind a VPN, it used to default to a hard-coded location in Stockholm, Sweden instead of showing nothing. It now correctly shows no location instead of a wrong one.
  • Signing in with two-factor authentication used to have a separate page for backup codes. There’s now just one field: enter either your regular authenticator code or a backup code, and we’ll figure out which one it is.
