A collection of minor improvements (May 2026)
A list of the less visible efforts going on behind the scenes during May at Pagecord.
- Custom CSS now supports, er,
@supports,initial-letterand-webkit-initial-letter - "Search Engine Visibility" in Blog Settings is now called "Discoverability" because unchecking it discourages search engines and also prevents your blog from appearing in Spotlight and Shuffle.
- You can no longer (incorrectly!) access Pagecord admin via yoursubdomain.pagecord.com/app or yourcustomdomain.com/app.
- Pages now correctly appear in sitemaps 🤦♂️
- Pages can now be marked as hidden so they can be opted out of appearing in sitemaps.
- For paying customers, there's now a link on the Billing page to view (and download as PDF) past invoices and other billing-related info.
- NSFW posts no longer appear in Spotlight (best effort, anyway)
- Pagecord is now running on Ruby 4.0.5
- Introduced new contextual help dialogs on the
New/Edit PageandSettings > Navigationscreens. - YouTube embeds now use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain
youtube-nocookie.com. - Spotlight now favours fresher posts by limiting trending posts to the last 10 days.
- The Pagecord editor now uses sentence auto-capitalisation where supported on mobile.
- The Help Guide has been brought up to date with latest features and better examples with images in some cases.
- Japanese language translation has been improved thanks to @egroendal.
- Bandcamp embeds are now cached for improved performance.
- Charts should be a lot faster now when you've been Hacker News front-paged and get 100,000 unique page views.
