Owlet Weekly Update (Week of August 10)

Happy Tuesday and Happy Election Day to my fellow primary voters (Minneapolis-based fans of the Owlet Weekly Update—wya?)! 🗳️

While electoral promises of change are fraught with anxiety and acrimony, the promise of change that I bring you today is filled with hope and joy—particularly if you regularly write Custom CSS in ReadMe! Details below! 🎨

✨ New & Improved

• We gave the warning callout above the Custom CSS dialog in our dashboard a major update! Previously, this was a warning that informed you that your site's CSS may break, without offering much information on how to avoid this. Now, the callout offers some CSS best practices for styling your documentation that should hopefully put your mind at ease. 😌
• Edge caching... can't live with it, can't live without it—amirite? Now, when you save changes to a document, we automatically purge our edge cache so your users can immediately see your latest and greatest work. 🌤️
• Another Owlet Weekly Update, another mention of our massive Search improvements! Mainly just refreshing our icon set and doing some housekeeping to ensure that everyone is safely migrated over. 🧹

🛠 Fixes & Updates

• This issue is related to an issue from a few weeks ago with black text on black backgrounds—turns out that a black cursor on a black background is also hard to see, and that the inability to see your cursor is also severely limiting. Well, happy to report that you can now see it—curse(?) away! 🖱️
• Fixes to the logic behind the query parameter preview for the select few projects that are still in the preview phase with our new Markdown engine. 🔗
• There were certain vendored JSON content types that the API Explorer was rendering as plain text. This release also includes a fix for this. 📦
• Minor vertical alignment fixes for callouts with no headings. ⬆️

Thanks again for reading and for being a part of the ReadMe community!
