Here at CakeHQ we do try to please everyone, but that is a difficult task when everyone has a different idea of what is idea for them. The single thing we get the most comments about is our outward email alert templates – some people want to have them in a pretty table, some prefer just the details and nothing else. Some would like to put their company logo on the emails and others want no images at all. With this in mind we got thinking – how can we solve this seemingly unsolvable problem?
From today all our superior and business plan users can design how their email alerts look using the full power of HTML. This means you can design the emails exactly how you want them to look and even ensure they keep with your companies branding when your team gets an alert.
To edit a template simply go to your “Account Details” tab within StatusCake and select the new “Email Templates” button on the top row. The Email Templates page will list all current email templates we use along with their status (“Edited” or “Not Edited”). You can then jump right into a HTML editor with a live preview of what your email will look like.
In the past few hours we’ve also pushed forward a wide range of improvements, bug fixes and general tweaks to ensure a great service. If you have any comments or questions on this latest feature then please do get in touch!

Strong review practices, clear ownership, and solid fundamentals still matter just as much when code is AI-assisted as when it’s not. That post sparked a follow-up question in the comments that’s worth sitting with: With AI speeding things

For some teams, it’s an obvious productivity multiplier. For others, it’s viewed with suspicion. A source of low-quality code, unreviewable pull requests, and latent production risk. One concern we hear frequently goes

Both Safari and Firefox offer great solutions in terms of developer tools, however in this post I will be talking about the highlights of the most recent features in my personal favourite browser for coding, Chrome DevTools.

6 min read There has certainly been a trend recently of using animations to elevate user interfaces and improve user experiences, and the more subtle versions of these are known as micro animations. Micro animations are an understated way of adding a little bit of fun to everyday user interactions such as hovering over a link, or clicking
