Slatebox — Visualize Everything

User Experience Enhancements

I’m happy to announce some great UI improvements at Slatebox:

1. A new help site has launched. Look for it in the top bar of your site after you log in. We’ll have a bunch of great training materials in the Knowledge Base shortly.
2. A lot of improvements have been made to the canvas:
   • Slimmed down the birdseye to give more room for slate-building
   • Now, nodes are automatically centered whenever they’re updated with text or images
   • Newly created nodes now automatically enter text-edit mode

I think these enhancements will make a lot of people happy!

Stay tuned for some simple video instructions that will show up in the help center.

Customizable images and pop-down menus

Based on the recent feedback, I’ve made two quick adjustments:

1. The welcome message now loads bottom-up so it will not obscure the menu (Doh!) I’ve also changed the image search and text editing menus to pop up from the bottom as well.
2. Now, not only can you search the web for existing images, but you can also  your own image URL. Check it out!
