Save to Make the Dot is a browser extension that you can download for the Chrome browser. It helps speed up your research when you're looking for inspirations and references on the internet.

New options are now available in the action header when you select images - "Copy to Board" and "Move to Board" options allow you to organize your content across different boards.
We have added the time stamp for every card in the side panel as well as the source URL link if you saved the image via the browser extension. Clicking on the image will give you a full-screen view of the image from the original website.
We know how much you value your time so the fewer clicks the better! We're gradually changing to autosave by default, starting with texts!
Save a text card by clicking outside of the text editing area
Save your board name by hitting "Enter" on your keyboard or clicking outside of the editing area
Save the card description by hitting "Enter" on your keyboard or clicking outside of the editing area.

Turn on the eyedropper from the toolbar and start picking colors from any of the images on your board. When you're done building your palette, just press ESC (escape) on your keyboard to switch it off.
As we noticed many of you tried to apply the font style without highlighting the text, we have now auto-applied the font style to the whole set of text. Keyboard shortcuts for bold (command + b), italic (command + i) and underline (command + u) would work the same way.
Now as you resize your browser or switch between different monitors or devices, the cards within your board would be automatically scaled to fit the browser, while retaining the overall layout.

This week we have introduced the ability to resize any image, text or color on your board - helping you emphasize your key concept easily. On top of that, we are now helping you translate hex / RGB colors to the closest Pantone colors and you can edit any of your colors with ease.
Only have an HEX or RGB code on hand but need to communicate using the Pantone code? Now we automatically help you translate it to the closest Pantone hues for you to choose from.
Clicking on the pencil icon on the color card now allows you to adjust your color hues.
When you go to your Home Dashboard, you can now see a small preview of what's been added on each board. When you hover on it, you can also see details about which owner it belongs to and the last update date and time, making it easier to manage multiple boards.

This week we have introduced the ability to create as many boards as you'd like in Make the Dot! 🎉 (and obviously to remove them in case you no longer want them in your home dashboard). On top of that, we have also improved the way your collaborators can discover your comments.
As soon as you leave your first comment, we'll turn on Show Comments to let you know which cards have comments at a glance - this way when you invite a Reviewer to your board to collaborate, there's less of a learning curve for them to leave you feedback!
This week we have made it more flexible for you to edit your board while checking comments. We have also improved the overall usability on tablets, helping you do your research on the go.
No more switching back and forth between moodboarding and checking comments - simply switch on Show Comments on the Toolbar and you can do both at the same time!
After switching on Select Mode, you can select a card by simply tapping on it. Now it's easier to select and then group cards on iPads.
When you are on the Details Panel of an image, you can now click this little edit icon next to Image Description to add your own notes.
Similarly, you can edit the name of a color through the Details Panel. Try giving it a more colorful name!
This week we have improved how you can easily see more context such as photo captions and color codes. We have also made improvements on the overall experience of the app based on our observations during the onboarding call with you.
Now when you click on any card on the board, we'll bring up a side panel with the details of the card and the comment thread.
We added a little edit icon on the text card. Now it's easier to edit text across desktops and iPads.
This week we improved the way you work with your fashion collaborators on your fashion moodboard by introducing a new email notification and you can also easily see which board has unread comments on the homepage. This way you'll never miss a beat when collaborating! Additionally, we're shipping:
Every day at 9 am UTC, an email notification would be sent out to you if (and only if) other users who you have invited on your board have left you unread comments. We will remind you to go in and check. This reminder is only served once. We won't spam you.
Now when you go into your home dashboard, you will see a red dot on every board that has unread comments. Once you're on the fashion moodboard, the same red dot would appear on the comment icon on the toolbar as well as every card with unread comments.
By default, we have been supporting screen sizes of 1440px and 1920px or above resolutions. As we observed that some of you use 13" MacBooks with slightly smaller screen sizes, we have now improved the smaller screen sizes with 1028px and 1280px resolution. We want to ensure that your creative ideas can always be presented in the best light possible.
This applies to every aspect of the board: displaying images you upload, the text tool, and the color picker.
The page will now auto-scroll to the relevant part of the board depending on your activity. For instance, when a new image card or color card is added, the page will scroll to the beginning of the Ungrouped Cards section. When you add a card to a new group, we will auto-scroll to that new group.
This way, it takes less mental effort for you to follow what is happening on the page.
Now you can hold down Command (for Mac) or Ctrl (for Windows) and
