A smoother sign-up

The front door is the part of TinyX most people see first and think about least — until it gets in the way. This release is a few small fixes to exactly that: the sign-up form, the log-in form, and the first thing you see on a phone.

One password, typed once

We removed the "confirm your password" box.

It was always a bit of a tax: type a password, then type the same password again, and on a phone — where you can't see either one — hope your thumbs agreed with each other. More often than it should, they didn't, and you got bounced for a typo you couldn't even see.

So instead of a second box, both the sign-up and log-in screens now have a small show/hide toggle right on the password field. Tap it, glance at what you typed, tap it back. One box, one chance to check your own work. It's the kind of thing that sounds trivial and feels like a small relief.

Your email stays put

If a sign-up came back with an error before — say the address was already in use — the form helpfully handed you back a completely blank slate. Start again from scratch, including the email you'd just carefully typed.

That's fixed. Whatever email you entered is still sitting there when the page comes back. Fix the one thing that needs fixing and keep going.

A calmer hero on your phone

The headline on the home page has always had a few feature links woven into its opening sentence. On a wide screen that's fine — they're clearly secondary to the big "get started" button. On a phone, squeezed together, they turned into a little cluster of tap targets all elbowing the main button for your thumb.

On small screens those links are now just plain text. The button gets your thumb to itself. Nothing changed on desktop, and the links are still exactly where you'd look for them — in the menu and down in the Features section.


None of this is going to change your life. But the door opens a little easier now, and that's worth a release on its own.
