Releases 1.11 through 1.13 introduced a bunch of major new features and bugfixes. Let's go through the main ones!

Dark mode​

A little while ago we’ve announced work in progress on Dark Mode for the Dashboard. We're happy to tell you it’s live now! You can try it out on the Dashboard example page.

There are three options available:

• light — the default
• dark
• auto — will respect the user’s system settings and switch automatically

uppy.use(Dashboard, {
	theme: 'dark',
});

Uppy 1.10.1 adds long-awaited support for Facebook and OneDrive 🎉

const uppy = Uppy();
uppy.use(Dashboard);
uppy.use(Facebook, {
	target: Dashboard,
	companionUrl: 'https://companion.uppy.io/',
});
uppy.use(OneDrive, {
	target: Dashboard,
	companionUrl: 'https://companion.uppy.io/',
});

Try the live demos on Transloadit.com: import your files from Facebook or OneDrive, and then:

• Apply a watermark to an image
• Convert an image to WebP
• Encode a video, extract 8 thumbnails and store everything in an S3 bucket
• Encode video for iPhone
• Create a single Zip file containing all uploaded files

(Uppy demos are below the description and steps, under “Live Demo. See for yourself” ;-)

You can also play with an interactive demo, enabling different Uppy options and providers on the fly: https://uppy.io/examples/dashboard

Uppy 1.8, 1.9 and a few important security patches are out! Here are the highlights:

Uppy 1.7 was released last December! This release added Hebrew translations, a recording length timer for the @uppy/webcam plugin, and a collection of improvements to Companion.

This release adds a long-awaited uppy.setOptions() API, allowing you to update options of Uppy and its plugins on the fly. It also includes locales for the Icelandic and Thai languages!

In the past two months, we have halved our open issue count and worked on a much more robust approach to upload cancellation. Members of the community also contributed a bunch of new localizations: Czech, Danish, Greek, Indonesian, and Swedish!

We are also releasing beta versions of new remote providers for Facebook and OneDrive. Please try them out!

Hi there! We are back after a period of silence following the Uppy 1.0 release in the end of April. It was pretty well received by the commnunity and press: we hit the front pages of Hacker News, Product Hunt and Reddit. We then started trending and gained over 20,000 stargazers on GitHub, got mentioned by Smashing Magazine, JavaScript Daily and JavaScript Weekly. It’s been a crazy ride! We’d like to thank all our contributors and users for their continued support.

It was not all self reflection and celebrations, though, in Uppy Remote Headquaters™ following the 1.0 launch. After some vacation time, we quickly got back to work, releasing Uppy 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. These updates address a lot of issues raised by the community and the team.

This post highlights the most important and exciting changes from those releases: accessibility and performance, thumbnails rotatation, new logger, progress and uploader improvements, Robodog and Companion updates, new languages and more.

Today, after three years of development, we are launching version 1.0 of Uppy, our file uploader for web browsers.

A little history​

Three years ago, Transloadit was ready to replace their jQuery-based file uploading & processing plugin for browsers with something more modern. They posted a job ad in search for people to build it:

In general, we’re looking for polished, well tested, carefully crafted products that are delightful to work with and use. So for this job it’s not only important that you know JavaScript, but also how to make things look stunning and work well for end users.

At your disposal are time, focus, and the core team ready to provide feedback, guidance, and anything else you need.

Shortly after, I saw a retweet of this vacancy come across my time line and I decided to apply. That, in a nutshell, is how I got involved with Uppy in the earliest stages of the project.

Initially, the idea was to build a proprietary uploader that would work exclusively with Transloadit’s commercial service, but we quickly turned around on it. We felt our version of a file uploader could have a real impact if we made it more widely available. So, just like Transloadit had done before with Tus, we decided to make Uppy an open source solution — free for anyone to use and hack on. Transloadit support became an optional plugin.

Three years, 16.000 stargazers, getting featured on Smashing Magazine, JavaScript Daily, Product Hunt, and SurviveJS, and a thriving community later — and we could not be happier to finally launch Uppy 1.0!

And then there were none! Zero days left in our thirty-day blog post challenge. I can't believe this is already the final day of our push to get Uppy to 1.0. There's still a bunch of things that we'd like to finish before shipping, so let's dive right in.

With Easter behind us, only two days remain before the Uppy 1.0 release!. We hope you're anticipating the launch as much as we are looking forward to being out from under the pressure of geting everything done in time!

In terms of progress and completed features, things are looking good. We don't have the entire team present today due to personal holidays and other commitments, but there's no slowing down as we approach our deadline! This afternoon, we're having our final Uppy 1.0 call where we'll make final decisions on what we will — and won't — get done before Thursday.
