At Candu, we're passionate about enabling non-technical teams to create UX that previously could only be achieved with code. But as we've grown, we've noticed something crucial: It’s not only what you can build, it’s how it feels to build it.
So this update is all about the little things: A more intuitive toolbar. A smoother preview. A smarter way to organize content. These moments of polish show our commitment—both to the platform we're building and to the teams who rely on it.
That's why we're excited to share our latest update, focused entirely on quality-of-life improvements you've been asking for. From a reimagined editor interface to enhanced variable support, these changes touch every corner of the Candu Editing experience. While each enhancement may be subtle, together they represent our dedication to making every interaction with Candu more intuitive and powerful.
A Sleeker, More Focused Editor
Creating production-ready in-product content shouldn't mean wrestling with your tools. That's why we've completely revamped our editing experience with a few quality-of-life improvements:
- Collapsible Toolbox: Your content now takes center stage with our collapsible toolbox. See your work in full context, exactly as your users will experience it.
- Streamlined Controls: The most crucial settings are now right where you need them—at the top of your toolbox.
- Figma-Inspired Controls: Toggle backgrounds, borders, and shadows with familiar, intuitive controls that feel natural to designers and developers alike.
- Enhanced Drag-and-Drop: A cleaner, more focused palette helps you find and place elements faster.
- Improved Share Links: Logged-in users can now seamlessly access their content, making collaboration smoother than ever.
- Peace of Mind: Our new Pending Status ensures your changes are always saved, never lost.
Our Dynamic Content Evolution
Great products adapt with their users. That's why we've expanded variable support across more content types than ever before:
Smart Variables Everywhere
- Pre-Fill iFrames: Automatically populate forms and integrations with user data
- Variable Images: Deliver personalized visuals for each user
- Variable Videos: Create customized viewing experiences
- Variable Code Blocks: Generate dynamic technical content
Reimagined Flow Creation
Building multi-step forms and flows should feel natural. Our new floating menu follows your work, making it easier than ever to:
- Access flow steps from anywhere in the editor
- Visually map and rearrange your user journey
- Preview steps in real-time as you build
Add a little Polish
These improvements represent countless moments where we asked, 'How could this be better?' While we're not launching a whole new product, these refinements make creating feel smoother, more intuitive, and yes—more fun.
Thank you for your continued feedback and partnership in making Candu better every day. Happy creating! 🎨
P.S. Have a pet peeve? We (still) want to hear it. Our work is not yet done. 🫧
Coming Soon: Going Global with Localization
