What's new in v2.8.0 — Two new index pages, one consistent footer

A small but useful navigation release. Two new index pages, a consistent footer, and URLs that stop being precious about trailing slashes.

Two new index pages

The product keeps growing. There are five features, six use-case pages, and seven competitor comparisons — and until today, your only way to discover them was to hover the dropdown, find the right link, click, hover again, find the next one. Death by mega-menu.

So we made two pages that do what they say on the tin:

  • /features — every TinyX feature on one screen, with a one-line summary of each. Click in for the full thing.
  • /use-cases — every "TinyX for ___" page, same layout.

Both are reachable from the Product menu in the nav. On desktop, the dropdown footer now has three matching links — All features, All use cases, All comparisons. On mobile, the Features and Use cases drawer sections each got a View all → link at the bottom.

If you've ever wanted to send someone "here's everything TinyX does, in one URL," that URL now exists.

The trailing slash is not a tripping hazard anymore

This one was overdue. If you typed tinyx.co/features/ instead of tinyx.co/features, or someone copied a link from a tool that helpfully tacked on a slash, you used to land on a not-found page. The site treated the slash as part of the URL and went looking for a short link with that exact name.

Now there's a quiet redirect: any address ending in / gets sent to the same address without the slash. You'll see it in the URL bar, the page loads, nobody has to think about it. Works for every page on the site.

(Just the page-loading kind of requests — API calls with a trailing slash aren't touched, in case you were worried.)

The footer is the same on every page now

Honest admission: the footer on the landing page didn't match the footer on the comparison pages, which didn't match the footer on the feature pages. Different opacity, different colour, different links. Nobody noticed in any obvious way — except that the Blog, Help, and Status links would mysteriously vanish on some pages and reappear on others.

That's now one shared footer, used on every public page. Landing, comparisons, features, use cases, blog, changelog — same six things in the same order. Less impressive than the index pages, harder to demo, more useful day to day.

That's it for this one. Small, helpful, ship.
