It’s been over a year in the making and it’s our biggest release yet. We’ve rewritten and refactored almost all of the code and more than quadrupled the number of lines that make up the script.
Our goal was simple: Make Storyboard easier to use, and make it a powerful tool for every blogger, not just those who want to put images side by side. So whether you blog like Fer Juaristi or always post single full width images one after another, Storyboard now has features for you (culling, sorting, tagging for SEO, and more).
So what’s new exactly?
Highlights
