iPhone and Android app updates

After the new user interface for the desktop the apps had to follow off course. The changes are similar as the update to the desktop, but the biggest change is the menu icons at the bottom. I noticed that my thumb had to move to the upper part of the screen to access the menu and with current smartphone sizes this is quit annoying.

Have a look at the screenshots in the App Store and Play Store, and try the app if you haven’t done so already. I gives you instant push messages for your security problems (and you can permanently switch them of during the night)


Next stop is fixing the most annoying messages on the timeline. If you have messages of message storms that you find particularly unuseful please send them in!

New user interface

The old user interface has been around for a while. It worked fine so far, but every new feature was sort of bolted on. Early users grew along, but some new users could not find the things they expected in the places they expected them. So, time for a change.

The biggest layout change is the menu. It has moved to the left and you can hide it on demand to free up more space for content. This is especially handy for big graphs like the attack surface.

The two different pages for each asset that existed have now merged. If you can't see the options you need, check out the drop down menu in the upper right (the three dots).

Although it's mostly a redesign to improve the user experience, some new features have creeped in. You can now request a scan for an asset from the upper right menu. The request will be queued and not executed immediately for now. Maybe I'll change this so requests will jump the queue and are executed faster, which is quite useful when you just fixed your server, certificate or website.

New node: ShiningArmor.shadowtrackr.com

Currently most work is done on fixing bugs and reducing technical debt. There is not much new to talk about, but you should know that there's a new scanner node. I know that some of you maintain whitelists, so you should add this new node. You can see the complete list of nodes here.

Oh, and the website is updated. The homepage has a nice animation now that should explain in 11 seconds what ShadowTrackr is about. Happy to hear any comments :-)
