A new look, and a question you can swap

A new look for the app

The whole app moved to one typeface, Instrument Sans, with a warmer palette and a charcoal primary button. On desktop the header is wider. On a phone you get an icon tab bar and an avatar that links to Settings, and Sign out now sits at the bottom of Settings.

• Feed: today's question is the hero, with your results underneath.
• Answer: a compose card, so writing your answer feels like writing a post.
• Analytics: highlight tiles, a richer chart and a drop zone for your LinkedIn export.
• Settings: two columns, with a save bar that stays in view.

This site's marketing pages and this blog now use the same typeface.

A question you can swap

Some days the question is not the one you want to answer. The button in the corner of the question card now reads Refresh and replaces today's question with a new one. If the fetch fails, you keep the current question and see why. It disappears once you have used up the day's replacements, or once you have posted.

One detail is enough. A sentence or two will do.

If you would rather write about something else entirely, you can still start a post with no question.

Refreshing your analytics

GrowthPost learns from how your posts perform, which means it needs your LinkedIn export. There is now a Refresh data button on the feed as well as on Analytics, and it takes you straight to the export steps and opens the file picker. The Sunday email that nudges you to do this also has a clearer "Steps" list, and tells you what you get for it: over time, GrowthPost finds trends in what works and suggests changes to your posts.

A clearer post page

Each post now has a header with its status and date, a strip of stats with the lift for that post, an author card, and a collapsible view of the answer it came from.

When something breaks

Before this week, a page that threw an error showed a bare "Application error" screen. There is now a proper error page with a retry, a way back to the feed and a reference you can quote. The page that writes your post also now treats a dropped connection as an error, so you get a Try again card instead of waiting forever.

What is next

This blog will carry a short update like this one each week.
