Weekly Wrap-up: May 23, 2025

This week, we resolved a bug affecting some Capacitor users with ESM enabled, and began testing updates to the plan page to make subscription management easier. The plan page updates are a part of a larger project to enhance user experience on the site. Our UX improvements are driven by the feedback you give us over on our support & community forums. We also recently moved to Bluesky and Mastodon — follow us there to stay up to date between weekly posts.

Bug Fix for Capacitor + ESM Projects

If you enabled ESM in your project by setting "type": "module" in your package.json, your capacitor.config.ts file may have been misinterpreted, causing unexpected behavior. We’ve fixed that! Things should now work as expected for Capacitor users using ESM.

Plan Page Improvements Now in Testing

We’re currently testing updates to the plan page that will make it easier for you to select and manage your subscription. These updates are part of an ongoing project to improve your experience using our website.

Our UX improvement goals are based on the feedback we get from the community over on our support & community forums. Your feedback is always welcome! You can post your feedback on the website in the Site Requests category, or request new features to our core service Feature Requests category.
