💎 Glare v0.9.9.3: Helio UX Metrics Beta, Glare SSO & Mobile Upgrades!

This release brings a major evolution to Helio's reporting capabilities with our UX Metrics rehaul entering beta, while also creating a more seamless experience for our Glare community with SSO integration and UI polish.

Helio UX Metric Rehaul

  • Finally moved our UX Metric Rehaul for our Report Builder into the official beta, bringing powerful new grouping and validation features to your reports.

  • We officially added UX Metric grouping and implemented safeguards to prevent users from breaking scores by locking down key question and choice edits within a group.

  • Removed the default alert modals and pushed up our custom, Helio-branded alert modals for a more consistent and polished user experience.

Glare Enhancements

  • Added Helio's SSO system to the community side of Glare, allowing users to easily sign in and create accounts using their existing Helio authentication.

  • Cleaned up the interview pages to better support mobile devices and thumbnails, making content more accessible and visually engaging on the go.

  • The interview homepage (at https://glare.helio.app/glaringly-obvious) is now more user-friendly, making it easier to browse our full library of interviews.
