🌎 Publish to Web with Seed Hosting
Introducing the easiest way to publish your Hypermedia site to the web: Seed Hosting. With just a few clicks you can use our free hosting service to publish to a hyper.media subdomain, or to your own custom domain.
📰 New Site Templates after Onboarding
The new Onboarding got enhanced by helping you create the main structure of your new site with Templates! We started with two templates: Blog and Documentation.
📦 Moving Documents
If a document is in the wrong place, you can now move it to a new location. To avoid breaking the link, we will redirect from the old location to your new path.
To move a document, you need to select an account who has permission to write in both the source and destination. The move workflow can be launched from the document options dropdown:
Document Branches
What if you want to edit a document that you have not been invited to edit? You can now branch it into a site where you have write access, and then you can edit and invite your own collaborators.
The attribution and version history of the original content is preserved. This workflow allows you to edit any Hypermedia document- just branch it first!

💬 Web Commenting on hyper.media
Now you can comment on Hypermedia documents without installing the app. Open the document on the hyper.media website, and the new comment box is available at the bottom of the activity section.
When creating your first comment, you will be prompted to add a name and icon for your web identity.
Even though this is the web, your identity is still secured with robust cryptography- our server does not own your identity! The key pair is kept in your browser. You can log out by permanently deleting the private key from your browser.
For now, web identities are standalone and are not linked to your identity in the desktop app (but stay tuned). Soon we will enable commenting across all Hypermedia web sites, once we have a workflow to link identities across the web.
