hyperPad 1.19 is here!

Murtaza

🎉 hyperPad 1.19 is finally released!

As usual, this free update brings amazing new features and bug fixes.

🎓 New Student Tier

We’ve introduced a new student tier.
We’ll be posting a separate article explaining what that means and all the changes.

In the meantime, you can learn more on our education page:

🌐 Upcoming Hub Changes

We’re also rolling out new changes to how the hub works.
The goal is to give more control to the community — so you can help decide what belongs on the hub and what doesn’t.

This isn’t live yet, but expect it in the next few weeks.
We’ll post a full update soon — stay tuned!

📰 Blog Transition

We’re in the process of moving our blog from Tumblr to our Facebook page.
