You've asked for it, here it is: You can now add gaps via the layout panel. These will automatically give spacing to any new element you add to that layout – and it works both horizontal and vertical.
Plus: If you enable content wrapping, you will be able to add both dimensions on a single container. It's auto spacing – so you don't need to set margin individually on each element.
Re-ordering & nesting elements using the screen inspectors is fun. Re-ordering & nesting elements directly on the canvas is it even more:
Drag any element, move it to its new position in horizontal or vertical layouts. Move it over other elements, and drop it to nest inside. No need for special containers, it just works everywhere. It's visual. And it's fast.
... know there is something more to come: If you check the truncation check box in the text section, ... will be automatically added once your text exceeds the space you gave it. To never miss out on the details.
New users had a hard time starting out with Antetype. With the addition of two interactive tutorials, it will be way easier:
Both come with an explanatory video and then guide you interactively through all the steps needed to do specific things in Antetype. To check it out, create a new file and select the tutorials from the template chooser.
While Getting Started gives a broad introduction to all basic features, How to Build a Card will show you – well, who would have guessed! – how to build a card.
Pro tip: You can find even more guides on how to build specific elements like working dropdowns or input fields in the Antetype documentation. Free of charge, full of fun!
Pro tip 2: These new in-app guides make today a good day to invite your designer friends to try out Antetype. It will be way easier for them now!
It's now possible to open external websites from within your prototype and even inside Antetype itself:
Either use the <a> tag inside the HTML field: <a href="https://www.antetype.com">Link Text</a> Or set the action of any interaction to script: window.open("https://www.antetype.com");
Both will open the specified website in a new window. Ever had that in a prototype? Us neither!
As you know: Designing in Antetype is entirely offline – it will always be possible, even the whole Internet is down. We made sure shared prototypes work just as well: We've added additional security and emergency plans to the entire Cloud infrastructure. This will prevent any lasting outages of your hosted prototypes.
Moreover, some smaller bugs regarding uploading prototypes to Antetype Cloud from within the macOS application have been fixed as well.
We've also fixed a noteworthy bug in the advanced header_include feature that you might be using in some complex use cases. It will work in all scenarios again.
On a side note, we've renamed Layout to Float in the style inspector as it better describes what this section is about. This will prevent confusion on where to find the new Gap feature (see above).
Apart from that, this update also includes 19 smaller fixes, changes and improvements that will make your designing life a little easier and a little faster. We hope you'll enjoy.

The previous update introduced Antetype's new toolbar. It has more options & is more fun. Today's is the day this feature comes to even more users: the new toolbar is now also visible when sharing a Public Link via Antetype Cloud – if you want it to be. You may activate the toolbar, resize mode and the specification inspector individually for each link to meet your requirements.
Ever wanted to embed your interactive prototype into another website? There's an option for it now! Simply go to an uploaded prototype card's menu and select Embed Code. This one also comes with individual settings on how you want it to look like.

You may now decide what to show when you open a prototype: Do you want users to see the toolbar? The spec inspector? You choose. Of course you can also toggle if you want your prototype to resize to fit the window or not. Plus: Set the starting screen that shows first when you open up the prototype.
Antetype Cloud's toolbar is now sleeker and optimized for mobile devices. Even better: You may now manage and share your prototypes directly from the toolbar.
You may also check the file history, what leads us to ...
Easily tell others what changed in the latest version: Give them a quick upload message so they understand what to look for. That also means you can now check and compare a prototype's evolution: See the history, open up previous versions. All done with the new toolbar.
Performance and More
Besides 25 small fixes and improvements, we Improved the performance of opening large files, editing text and uploading to Cloud.
