What's new — Nov 2022

A few new features and updates have been made recently to improve the Spowtr experience.

Reading time

Based on average reading speed, a simple counter lets you know how long it might take you to read the Spowt.

^{Reading time in minutes is now displayed below the byline.}

Listen to Spowts

Introducing a new way to digest Spowts, with a simple text-to-speech feature which will read the content right from your browser.

^{Audio controls for listening to a Spowt now appear just above the body content.}

Page design

Re-positioning of the feature image to sit below the headline to improve content hierarchy.

^{Looks a little clearer, no?}

Performance

Some of that behind-the-scenes love to improve loading speed and adherence of best practices. Just look at the Lighthouse results!

Bug fixes

Crushed a few annoying bugs too.

Enjoy!
