AuthoredUp 5.2.0 - new preview algorithm, plus a ton of fixes

In this release, we have completely rewritten our preview algorithm to follow the changes on LinkedIn. 💫

You will notice the link now reads "...more" instead of "see more", and it gets placed inline, sometimes at the end of your first sentence, sometimes after 3 lines. AuthoredUp tries to simulate this logic faithfully, so you can craft your hook line with even more confidence.

We have also removed the tablet preview, as we feel it was only adding clutter and confusion. You should craft your primary hook for mobile, and secondary hook for desktop. AuthoredUp now reflects that.

On top of that, we have included the following fixes:

• LinkedIn changes broke our "edit scheduled post" button. We have fixed the problem and hardened the system against future similar issues.
  
• Uploaded gif images ended up with wrong dimensions, which caused them to appear too tall in post previews. We have corrected the underlying problem, and are currently correcting the affected images (everything should look fine by tomorrow).
  
• We've made several smaller improvements to make image preview more faithful. Note that LinkedIn is still experimenting with design, and posts won't look the same for every post reader.
  
• We have fixed the issue where, while editing a long post, your cursor would go underneath the toolbar and stay hidden there.
  
• We have corrected several visual glitches and made improvements in the platform's mobile mode.

One final notice: we are aware of a few additional pending issues:
• Posts sometimes don't get collected
• When you try to "Continue on LinkedIn" after reusing a post, it doesn't open correctly
• Saved Posts sometimes don't get collected immediately

We are working on diagnosing and reproducing these issues. If you've experienced any of them, please try to capture a debug info and send it over via the support, following this guide: https://help.authoredup.com/articles/how-do-i-get-debug-info

It could really help us resolve your issue quicker. 🙏
