Dark mode, and a safer account
The whole of Kinsly in a darker set of colours, a few changes that make an account harder to lose, and lists that explain themselves when they come up empty.
What’s new
Light, dark, or automatic
Choose from the header on the website, or from your account menu in the CRM. The change is instant, and it is remembered the next time you visit.
No flash of the wrong colours
The right theme is in place before the page is drawn, so opening Kinsly never starts light and then jumps to dark.
Down to the scrollbars
Scrollbars, dropdown lists, date pickers and the browser bar on phones follow the theme too, instead of staying bright against a dark page.
Confirm your email address
A reminder now sits at the top of the CRM until your address is confirmed, with a button to send the link again. Confirming keeps the account active and unlocks two-factor authentication.
Stronger passwords, clearly signposted
New passwords need at least eight characters, and a strength meter now appears everywhere you set one, so you can see how a choice measures up as you type.
A list now tells you why it is empty
Narrow your projects down to Overdue and find nothing, and the list names the filters that are hiding the rows, with one click to clear them. It used to just say nothing was found, which read like your work had disappeared.
Also improved
- Two-factor setup asks you to confirm your email first, so the recovery address is one you actually control.
- Maps, charts and the two-factor QR code stay legible in the dark theme.
- Text colours were checked for contrast throughout, so nothing gets harder to read in the dark.
- Empty lists now say what belongs in them and how to add the first one, from the main lists down to the contacts, projects, tasks and history shown on a single client or project.
- The task lists on a client or a project show open work plus anything finished today, so when they look empty they now point you at the completed work rather than implying there is none.
