- Release notes 26-03 //
It’s been a minute since our last release notes. Not because nothing was happening. Quite the opposite. We’ve been a little busy rethinking a pretty big part of the site.
Here’s what’s new:
Homepage relaunch
- We’ve rolled out a new version of the homepage, designed to be a mix of something you can browse and something you can keep up with. Part curated, part “what just happened.”
- Read more about the changes here or listen to Nilay, Helen and David discuss it on Vergecast.
Improvements / Fixes
- The feed scrollbar should behave itself now. No more visual overlap.
- Some curated story groups now include a “more to explore” link when there’s, well, more to explore.
- Down at the bottom of the page, it’s easier to jump deeper into more on specific topics.
We’ve been keeping an eye on feedback across comments and other corners of the internet, but if you want to tell us something directly like a bug, a request, a “have you considered…” — you can holler at us here.
Will Joel / The Verge - Release notes 26-02 //
What we’ve shipped over the last few weeks:
Improvements / Fixes
- Fixed a couple of issues with how some Verge content is distributed across platforms, including newsletters and Apple News (yes, The Verge is on Apple News+).
Features
- Our writers can publish to The Verge directly from Slack. Rad for us and we think it will result in radness for you too.
- We shipped a couple of big custom-built article experiences (Notes from a Burmese Prison and The laid off lawyers and PhDs training AI to steal their careers). Incredible work from Graham MacAree.
