May 2022 Summaries

Hex has introduced a new link preview integration for embedding data from Hex into Notion documents, making it easier to share insights and contribute to organizational knowledge. The integration allows users to paste Hex links into Notion docs and choose between "Paste as Preview" or "Paste as Mention." This feature enables more people to access data without logging in and supports embedding full apps, individual cells, or just mentions.

Hex introduces new versioning workflows for data analysis and app building, including human-friendly file format, GitHub sync, and rich in-app diff view. The features aim to bring the benefits of version control to analytical work, making it easier to review, revert changes, and collaborate without hindrance. Hex now supports exporting projects as YAML files, which can be imported back into Hex or synced with GitHub branches. Additionally, a new Logic diff tab allows users to visually inspect the impact of changes on their app before publishing.
