This week, we made a significant leap in enhancing the quality of Universe sites. With our new flexible Grid, sites seamlessly adjust to every device for a consistent professional + polished appearance. The launch of the flexible Grid paired with our continued development of web.univer.se (our web editor, hey Android folks!) opens the door to many exciting future possibilities at Universe and has been a tremendous team effort driven by deep though, care, and creativity. Here we go!

GUS is now a copywriter, too. Shorten or lengthen text. Generate headlines and sections in seconds. Need something more professional for that product description? GUS has edits. AI Text Generation is now available everywhere text shows up on your site. On any device. 💬

New logo. Same app you use to make the internet more electric. Dynamic. Unique. Yours. — The globe is a ubiquitous symbol for the World Wide Web. The internet that connects all of us and turns us into a network of thinkers. Creators. And dreamers. We love seeing you make the internet a more diverse, fun, and—yeah—weird place. To us, that’s what really connects with the possibilities the World Wide Web originally presented. And still presents today. Our new primary color blue is, in fact, a rare color. Rarely found in nature. Often experienced through translucencies—the sky, the ocean. As rare as it is in nature, blue exists easily on screen. And we hope this neon + vibrational blue inspires you to tap into your dynamic creative energy every time you open the Universe app. Tying it all together is the web aka net aka Grid within the globe. The fundamental tool used to build and manage all Universe sites. We’re feeling refreshed. Inspired. Ready for the next new thing. We’re betting you’ll be the one to build it. See you on the ‘net.
