Front-end team April 2023 Update

Version 3 Release!

Why is the current version of the app known as v3? There was a lesser known v1 version of the manager app that predates the previous version, check it out! (opens in a new tab) This only works with names registered pre-2019, if that's not you give arachnid.eth or jefflau.eth a try.

For the dev team this this also marked the soft launch into production of our ENS utility library (ENSjs) rewrite (opens in a new tab), and of our design system Thorin (opens in a new tab).

There are too many improvements to go over here and so we will have a dedicated post for that shortly. Below will be a summary of the work done in the month of April.

Transaction in progress indicator

If you have a transaction in progress you will now see a progress indicator in key areas in the app.

Leagcy Favourites

We intend to release a new and improved version of favourites in the coming weeks, but we did not provide a way for users to continue to view favourites that they had already added via v2. If you have legacy favourites available then a link to them will show up in the navigation bar, and you can also navigate to them directly here. (opens in a new tab)

Imporoved profile warning flow for various resolver states

Partly in response to feedback from the community we decided to fast track improvements to the various warnings we show when opening up the profile editor depending on what resolver has been set:

• Migrate/Resolver out of sync: pretty much a complete rethink of this flow. Previously it would force you to either migrate your records to the new resolver or use the records on the new resolver, after editing the profile. Now it asks you if you want to change your resolver (which can be ignored), it will then check if the records between resolvers are out of sync. If they are in sync you will get the option to reset or keep your profile. If they are out of sync you will get the options to reset, migrate or use the profile that exists on the new resolver. It also adds a warning for people resetting their profile.

• Resolver out of date: adjusted the flow to ask before editing the profile and also lets the user ignore it if they want. It also adds a warning for people resetting their profile.

• No resolver: Copy update

• Registry out of date: Copy update

These changes now also allow people to use the profile editor for custom resolvers (before they had to use the record editor). We've added the option to ignore resolver upgrades in each flow.
