What's New

Everything that's changed in Binge, newest first.

Current version

v0.8.0

Stay signed in on all your devices, and see what's new right here.

New
  • Sign in on your phone and your computer at the same time. Signing in on one device no longer signs you out of the other.
  • This What's New page, listing every version of Binge and what changed. A dot in the menu shows when there's something you haven't seen.
Improved
  • Remember me keeps you signed in for 30 days on that device.
  • Without Remember me, you're signed out after 24 hours of not using the site.
  • Signing out only signs out the device you're using.
Security
  • Your sign-in cookie is now only ever sent over a secure (HTTPS) connection.
  • Sign-in details are no longer included in any account information the site sends back.
  • Updated to the latest versions of the framework and tools the site is built on.

Coming soon
Improved
  • New navigation menu on the left. On a computer it shows icons and names; on a tablet it's a slim icon bar that expands when you point at it; on a phone, tap the menu button at the top right.
  • Your account (Settings and Sign out) and What's New now live at the bottom of the menu.
  • Fresh colors in light and dark mode. Until you pick one with the sun/moon button, Binge follows your device's setting.
  • The Binge logo now matches the icon in your browser tab.
  • A fresh look for the Home, Sign in, Create account and What's New pages, with a bit less empty space around page content. Password fields have an eye button to show what you typed.
Fixed
  • Browser tabs now show each page's name (like "Binge - Picks") instead of just "Binge".
