A fresh, simpler Hi Widget dashboard

We've rebuilt the Hi Widget dashboard from the ground up.

As Hi Widget grew, the dashboard got cluttered. Everything about a widget was stacked on one long page. Publishing was tucked away in a settings form. Your responses were split up by widget, so there was no single place to see what people had sent you. It worked, but it made you hunt for things. So we started again, around the three things you actually come here to do: set up a widget, get it on your site, and read what your visitors say.

What's new

A sidebar that's always there. Home, Inbox and all your widgets are one click away, whichever page you're on.
One Inbox for everything. Every response from every widget, newest first. Show only unread, or narrow it down to one widget.
A Home page that gets to the point. See what's waiting for a reply, how this week compares to last, and which widgets are live.
Each widget has its own tabs. Overview, Responses, Forms, Polls, Install, and Settings, all in one place.
Publish in one click. The Publish button now sits at the top of every widget page.
Installing is easier. Copy your code in one click, and we'll tell you when we spot your widget on your site.
A setup checklist. New widgets walk you through each step, from adding your site to your first response.
Clearer forms. Plain labels, helpful hints, and if something needs fixing, we list it all in one place.
Updates you won't miss. Activity keeps comments and status changes separate from your responses, and What's new shows a dot when there's something new.

Nothing changes on your website. Your widgets look and work exactly as before, and all your settings and responses are where you left them.

Got thoughts on the new look? Send them through the widget on this page. We read every one.
