Fenice for Windows
3 min readJun 24, 2021

Last year we released Fenice 5 after a year of hard work. Since then, we’ve added some new features and kept improving the app day by day by releasing a lot of updates. Well, we must admit that we have kept a secret. After releasing Fenice 5 we started working on a new major version that we internally codenamed “Fenice v-next”. Today that update is finally ready to preview. So, what’s new?

Performance updates

Fenice 5.1 comes with performance enhancements. We’ve made scrolling way smoother, improved startup speed and other various improvements. You’re going to notice the difference.

Improved UI

Part of the personalization options

Fenice 5.1 comes with a redesigned interface in perfect Windows 11 style with Fluent icons and latest WinUI controls. You can now make it even more personal with all the new personalization options we’ve added.

We’ve also added custom font support (yes, even Comics Sans).

Please don’t use Comics Sans.

Tweeting improvements

We’ve made several improvements to the Tweeting experience in Fenice.

Drafts with media

Drafts

Drafts now are more powerful. You can save Tweets drafts that include media and it’s super easy.

Thread creation in Fenice 5.1

Tweet threads

With Fenice 5.1 it’s so easy to share your thoughts with your followers by creating a thread directly in the app.

Attach media from any source

Attachments

New homescreen options

Homescreen settings

With Fenice 5.1 we’ve added a new homescreen layout option called “Fill window”.

With this option enabled your homescreen columns will adapt to the size of the window so that they’ll never be cut off.

So much more

There’s so much more that would make this blog post infinite. We can’t wait to let you try it. We’re going to release a preview in the upcoming days for a restricted portion of users before expanding the roll-out to everyone.
