Here’s a highlight of what we shipped:

→ New project switcher in docs and blog dashboard header

→ Mermaid chart support

→ Image max width support

→ Design updates and

→ Bug fixes

New project switcher in docs and blog dashboard header.

We have added a new switcher to the header of the blogs and docs dashboard that lists both your blogs and docs together. This makes it easy to navigate between project dashboards without having to go back to the homepage. If you have more than 5 projects, there is also a search feature to help you filter and find the project you are looking for.

Added Mermaid chart support to Hashnode docs.

Mermaid is a JavaScript-based tool that uses Markdown-inspired syntax to create diagrams from text. It's used to create and modify flowcharts, sequence diagrams, pie charts, Gantt charts, and more.

This week we shipped Mermaid support to the Hashnode docs editor, and here’s how you can use it 👇

Along with this, you can also use Hashnode AI and natural language to write a prompt and generate Mermaid code, as shown in the example below 👇

Added image maximum width support.

We have added a new button in the image component that lets you set the maximum width for images. This feature is only available in Hashnode docs. To use it, go to your editor and type /image, then add an image. You will see the Expand image option that lets you set the maximum width.

Design updates

• The “Ask AI” sidebar has been redesigned. It now functions as a research assistant within the sidebar rather than appearing as a modal. This offers a more immersive experience and removes the common issue of the modal being dismissed when clicked outside.

• We have also renamed the Crazy Blogger badge to Serial Blogger. This badge is awarded when you publish an article every day for 7 days.

---

Miscellaneous bug fixes

• A recently introduced bug caused profile pages and the editor to sometimes show duplicate publications. This issue has now been resolved.

• We deployed a fix for a UI bug, in the left sidebar on the docs client where the expand chevron icon would get cut off if page title was long.

• Fixed a bug in the docs where bolded text would sometimes revert to **text if there was trailing or leading whitespace.

That’s a wrap for this week! We hope these updates help you write better docs. If you want enterprise access of Hashnode docs your team, book an demo here.
