You might sometimes find yourself making the same announcement over and over, lose a lot of time writing release notes or sometimes inspiration just strikes... Good news! We are happy to announce that now you can create your own post templates to make your next announcement even faster ⚡

With this feature, you can save any of your announcements as a template and easily create ready-to-use, canned posts. You can also edit your templates at any time, so they're always ready to go when you need them. 

All you need to do is go to your post editor and save the template you want. Happy announcing!

We're excited to announce the release of the React Native SDK. It lets you quickly implement AnnounceKit into your React Native mobile apps and take advantage of its great features.

We're planning to expand on the mobile ecosystem and include Flutter, Android SDK supports. So stay tuned for updates!!

Archiving is important to put the posts you published in a specific month together and keep your data in order.

From now on, you can display a monthly archive on your feed to group your posts by month and enable your users to easily see what improvements you have done in that specific month.

When your users click on any month, the result will show all the posts for that particular month.

You can add an archive to your feed by going to Theme Designer and enabling Archive. How exactly? Let's see here!

Maintaining user integrity across platforms can be an issue in some cases. Don't worry, AnnounceKit has a solution to that too.

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an industry standard that defines a self-contained simple token for securely transmitting information between parties. This token is verified and trusted. It is signed using a secret key by a trusted source, mostly by you.

Setting the JWT improves user integrity, and you can be sure that only verified users can interact with your feed. Also, if you're using the Private Feed option, it adds an additional layer of security by only allowing verified users.

We value your security and privacy as much as we value your product updates and company news.

We had several privacy options to keep your announcements private or for internal use only. Now, we're enhancing these settings to open a few more doors for you.

You will be able to add a domain-based rule to your feed that will limit access to your feed page only with the allowed domain extension.

With domain access, people can send a request to access your feed. If their domain extension matches with your settings, they'll get a magic link via email and will be able to reach your feed with this link, only for 24 hours.

Feel free to see more here; it does not require domain access 🤫

We had rocket, bell, chat bubble, and gift box icons for your float launcher in the past, we still have, but these icons can be insufficient in some cases. You might want to customize your launcher's icon according to your branding and website design.

Good news! From now on, you can upload your own icon either in PNG or GIF format. With custom icons, you can maintain a certain brand or aesthetic on your web page.

See how to add a custom icon to your launcher in our Help Center.

If you've been around AnnounceKit for a while, you'll know our feed theme designer hasn't significantly evolved since its first launch. So, we have added quite cool stuff, as you asked.

Header Background Image
From now on, you can add a header image to your newsfeed to create an aesthetically pleasing user experience. It provides a chance to showcase your company, your product, or any other aspect of your business that will make people want to explore your announcements.

Layout Settings
Now with layout settings, you can set to overlap your post list onto your header or not and you will be able to align description text to the left or center.
