title: "ui revamp and usability improvements"
|
|
date: "Sep 8, 2022"

|
|
new features:
|
|
- cobalt now lets you paste the link in your clipboard and download the file in a single press of a button.if your clipboard's latest content isn't a valid url, cobalt won't process or paste it. you can also hide the clipboard button in settings if you want to.
|
|
unfortunately, the clipboard feature is not available to firefox users because mozilla didn't add proper support for clipboard api.
|
|
- there's now a button to quickly clean the input area, right next to download button. it's really useful in case when you want to quickly save a bunch of videos and don't want to bother selecting text.
|
|
- keyboard shortcuts! you love them, i love them, and now we can use them to perform quick actions in cobalt. use ctrl+v combo to paste the link without focusing the input area; press escape key to close the active popup or clean the input area; and if you didn't know, you can also press enter to download content from the link.
|

|
|
new looks:
|
|
- main box has been revamped. it has lost its border, thick padding, and now feels light and fresh.
|
|
- download button is now prettier, and has been tuned to make >> look just like the logo.
|
|
- buttons on the bottom now actually look like buttons and are way more descriptive. no more #@+?$ bullshit. it's way easier to see and understand what each of them does.
|
|
- bottom buttons are prettier and easier to use on a phone. they're bigger and stretch out to sides, making them easier to press.
|
|
|
|
fixes:
|
|
- it's now impossible to overlap multiple popups at once. no more mess if you decide to explore popups while waiting for request to process.
|
|
- popup tabs have been slightly moved down to prevent popup content overlapping.
|
|
- ui scalability has been improved. |
