1. Frame & Group: It looks like the UI has been redesigned, and the interactive feedback is more noticeable. Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any major changes. Oh, and a crucial fix—when I wanted to hide the Frame label in the top left corner by typing a space, in the old version, it would still render a black box. Now it just hides it, which is awesome!
2. Doc Info: Created & Edited By: It seems they've added the creator and editor properties to docs, which is really important, especially when collaborating with colleagues or friends. I don’t use this feature much myself, but it's clear they are aligning more with Notion.
3. Block Reference: Link to Block: This feature seems to support copying the address and location of individual blocks. This should improve sharing a lot, though I haven’t tried it yet.
4. LaTeX Support: This will probably be great news for students. Most products in this category support LaTeX, and now AFFiNE finally does too! Although I won’t really use it.
5. Sharing & Duplicating Enhancements: It seems they've improved sharing capabilities. Now you can share based on modes, which is really nice. Sometimes I only want to share a page or an edgeless view, and now I finally can.
6. Editor Settings Customization: I love this feature! Now I can customize my own edgeless settings, so I don’t have to manually adjust the colors of shapes, connectors, and notes every time.
7. Mind Map 2.0: Mind Map Optimizations: There doesn't seem to be any major updates here, just support for importing from other platforms and formats.
8. Templates: Boost Your Productivity: This is probably like Notion’s template market. It looks like AFFiNE wants to build their own, which makes sense. I haven’t tried it yet, but there are only a few templates at the moment. I’m looking forward to seeing more!
Overall, this update is really impressive. AFFiNE is gradually becoming competitive in this market. Their upcoming focus on enhancing the database and releasing an iOS app is critical. I’m excited for what’s next!
