The 2024 winter release
The noteworthy new features from our 2024 winter release.
This winter, we took a slightly different approach to development. Instead of working on as many new features as possible, we chose a select few projects and spent the rest of our time improving the technology Padlet runs on.
The result is a few high-impact features that should make your life easier immediately, and a host of engineering improvements that will make us faster and more reliable moving forward.
As always, below you'll find a rundown on our most significant new features, as well as a never-before-seen sneak peek into the engineering world of Padlet. Enjoy!
