Oh okay I see what happened. When I was looking at the "preview mode" text on the side with the link above it I jumped to conclusions and thought that was a preview link. Without really reading the link I just thought it made sense due to their proximity and that I hadn't published yet.

As for the visibility link, I see it now. The issue there is my intuition wouldn't have thought that'd be in the middle of a form. Was honestly expecting it to be something "broken out" and a colored but since it's actionable (with I suppose the dropdown arrow to the side with the other options). My personal opinion for the best place would be in the preview area. Up above the preview like the singlelink is now I'd have a dropdown with the publish options, a separate "Publish" button under that (colored to draw attention), and then a hyperlink of your singlelink with a clipboard symbol next to it to copy the link.

Also under the settings it'd be nice to have a checkbox for a round photo or a square photo.

Edit: After playing with it more I see that it auto-updates/publishes the changes you're making. Due to that I agree that it should publish by default. A staging feature might be a good option for your paid plans.

Totally understand. It really needs to be made more clear. I'll definitely have a revision done ASAP, I really like your idea of having a dropdown with publish options by the clipboard.

As for the photo, you can set your image border radius to 0 in appearance to change this! But it's nowhere near as easy to use as I'd like (added days ago), so it's easy to see why this can be overlooked. We're adding presets soon too (small bits of css that can be layered on top of themes, ex: square or circle avatar photo), so maybe we can make these easily selectable from the settings panel? I'll have to reconsider this.

Thanks again for the awesome feedback, it really helps.

No problem, glad to help. One last thing is that you can break links by linking to the analytics tracking link [1]. This isn't really an issue for users since this would only ever happen intentionally, but figured I'd mention it because idk how it'll affect your backend.

At further inspection it looks like with each click of the recursive link it generated 20 tracked links.

It also looks like the analytics doesn't treat each link independently. If I change a link it just relabels it in the analytics rather than creating a new tracking item. Sorry to be raining on your parade and tearing this apart so hard lol.

Woah, great catch! We'll put in a quickfix in the AM, easy enough.

In regards to analytics, we're currently treating links like "blocks" in preparation for our new link types feature (then a link could be an image, video, form, checkout, plugin, etc.), so if you were to want a new tracking item created it would be recommended to create a new item and delete the old one rather than edit it. In the future, we'll have easy link visibility and duplication settings to make this an easy process. If you have any thoughts on how you'd expect/prefer this to be, let me know!
