You can now mask your destination URL with your short link using the new link cloaking feature.
When link cloaking is enabled, your short link will be shown in your users' browser address bar when they visit your link instead of the destination URL.
Learn more about Link Cloaking in our help center.
You can now set custom QR codes for your links on Dub's Pro plan.
This is useful for creating personalized QR codes to make your promotional material stand out from the crowd.

We've added "View All" buttons for the Locations, Devices, and Referrer sections on the Link Stats page.
When clicked, this opens up a modal that lets you explore all data points for a given section via a fuzzy search interface. Here's an example.
This is helpful for sections like City that tend to have a lot of data points. Instead of scrolling through a long list, you can now search for a specific city.

We've improved the design of link cards on Dub to make them more readable – without sacrificing functionality.
The QR Code modal has been moved to the ⋮ dropdown on the right. It can also be accessed via the q keyboard shortcut.
The link creation timestamp has been converted to absolute timestamps (e.g. Mar 26) for links created more than 24 hours ago. This is similar to the way Twitter displays timestamps, and has better readability (as opposed to 110d ago).
We're excited to launch monthly summaries – a monthly email newsletter that gives you an overview of your Dub activity for the month.
This includes statistics like:

We're improving the way you create tags on Dub.
Instead of a separate link tagging modal, we've combined it with the link creation flow. This makes it easier to create tags, and also allows you to add tags to your links as you create them.
Shoutout to Fazle from Hashnode for the feature request!

You can now pass URL query parameters (utm_source, ref, etc.) from your short link to its destination URL.
If there are any duplicate parameters, the parameter in the short link will override its counterpart in the destination URL. For example:

You can now invite teammates to your Dub workspace. This is useful if you want to collaborate with your team on a workspace.
Note: You can only invite teammates on a Pro plan or above. Learn more about inviting teammates.
You can now sign in to your Dub account with Google.
We're also deprecating email sign ups as they have been a constant source of spam and abuse (via phishing links).
If you have an existing Dub account, you will still be able to sign in with email, but we recommend connecting your Google account to enable Google sign in moving forward.
We've also added a "Delete Account" feature to the settings page. You can now delete your Dub account and all associated data, if that's what you want to do.
You can now view the all-time statistics for each of your Dub shortlinks via the "All Time" filter option.
Note: This is a Pro-only feature, along with the 90-day ("Last 3 months") filter.
Shoutout to Matt for the feature request!
