Announcing new CDN โšก๏ธ
Happy to announce Ghostboard is using a new, blazing faster CDN to serve static files like the tracking file, reducing the file size and load to time more than 50%

Sync Monitor ๐Ÿ“ก

Recently, Ghostboard added a new report showing the flags about content sync and any error in order to visualize earlier.

It's planned to extend this report with a new feature in 2022 ๐Ÿ˜‡

Dynamic IP filter ๐Ÿ‘ฎ

Ghostboard added 2 new options to filter the current user IP dynamically and another option to filter the IP of any user that enters successfully to any password-protected dashboard.

These options can be toggled any time and individually.

Manager access ๐Ÿ’ผ

Probably it will be renamed to Team Access. This is the feature to invite any user to manage your account with full permissions.

Remember if you wish to allow only read access, you can share custom dashboards and also optionally protect them with a password in the Share section of your dashboard.

The Live and Links reports were totally rebuilt to improve accuracy, reliability and general performance.
