What's new

The features and improvements we've shipped, newest first.

  1. A password at the door

    Moments can now be shared behind a password. Give someone the link and the password, and the photos stay closed to everyone else, with no account or sign-up needed.

    Read update
    The Moments visibility controls with Password selected, including a password field and optional hint
  2. Embed a living collection

    Collections can now be embedded, the same way moments can. Place a curated set of photos or whole moments on your blog, about page, travel post, or personal site, and it will keep itself up to date.

  3. When the wider web links back to your moment

    Your moments can now receive webmentions: when another site writes about one and links to it, that mention finds its way back and appears under the moment.

  4. A limited Lifetime Founder package

    Some people have asked for a one-time way to support Moments early. So I have added a limited Lifetime Founder package.

  5. Put your moments on any site

    You can now place a moment, or a feed of your recent moments, on any site that accepts HTML: your blog, a portfolio, a personal page. It carries its own quiet look, set by you, so it feels at home wherever you paste it.

  6. Moments joins the open web

    Your journal can now be followed from Mastodon and other Fediverse apps. Moments you choose to share beyond your journal can reach open-web followers and, when enabled, receive quiet replies.

    Read update
    The Moments Open Web setup panel explaining the journal address, conversations without metrics, and sharing controls
  7. Collect whole moments

    A collection could already gather individual photos from across your moments. Now it can gather whole moments too, so a collection can read like a small journal of its own.

    Read update
    The Choose moments dialog with six real moment cards and three selected for a collection
  8. A caption for every photo

    A moment has always had one field note for the whole set. Now each photo can carry its own short caption, and that caption describes the photo for screen readers and search at the same time.

  9. Founding Supporter

    Founding Supporter was the first paid way to help keep Moments independent, with more room, custom domain support, and private analytics.

    The Usage and support screen for an existing Founding Supporter, showing the legacy plan, journal usage, and optional supporter mark
  10. Add moments to your pages

    Pages can now pull in your moments. Drop any moment into a page and it shows up as a tappable card with a photo preview, so a page can become a curated home for the work you want people to see first.

  11. Your journal, at your own address

    Journals can now live on a domain you own. Point yourname.com at Moments and your photos get an address that belongs to you, for as long as you want it.

  12. Give your journal its own pages

    Every journal can now have pages alongside its moments. An about page, a gear list, a way for people to reach you. They live in your navigation and match your journal's style.
