What's new

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    A published moment collection titled Family holidays, with two trips stacked one after another like a journal home page

  7. 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.

    Read update
    The caption and alt text editor open over a photo, with a caption typed in and the alt text matching it

  8. Founding Supporter

    Moments is still free to start. Founding Supporter helps keep it independent and adds more room, custom domain support, and private analytics.

  9. 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.
