The eagle-eyed amongst you may also notice new features like the ability to create new integration tags, along with some new settings to help you control how the timer behaves in Turnip. But today, it’ll all about softening those input fields!

The new version should ship sometime in April. 🚀

There’s something oddly thrilling about the first support request you get for a new product. Finally, someone who isn’t me is using the thing we made! 🤩

….of course, it doesn’t hurt when the feedback is mostly positive. ❤️ Bring it on!
