Astra
Astra keeps security first, with a more flexible custom-layout trick in Pro 4.13.11.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Boords and Infogram — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Boords now owns the full script-to-storyboard workflow — and that changes what it competes with.
Boords has expanded from a storyboard creation tool into a pre-production pipeline platform. Scripts now live inside Boords — written, reviewed, approved, and converted to storyboards without leaving the app. The Asset Library adds a shared image and AI-generated character database that teams can build and reuse across projects. These two additions in a single month represent a category shift, not a feature release.
Infogram's tracked feed is SEO content, not product news
The feed being tracked for Infogram is its content-marketing blog rather than a product changelog. Recent entries are how-to guides, trend roundups, a tool listicle, and an Infogram-vs-Canva comparison — none describe a user-facing product change.

Boords is closing in on a full pre-production studio: script → storyboard → client review, all in one tool. The retention story — keeping video production teams inside Boords rather than splitting across Google Docs, Frame.io, and Dropbox — is getting stronger with each release. The next gap is the transition out of Boords and into production tools.
Animatic or rough-cut timeline export from storyboards is the likely next release — the pipeline now goes from script in to reviewed storyboard out; closing the loop to rough-cut delivery would complete the pre-production surface and give Boords a clear handoff point to editors.

The only observable signal here is editorial and SEO-driven, leaning into AI-infographic and data-visualization search terms and competitive comparisons. Product direction isn't visible through this source.
Expect a continued SEO-oriented cadence on AI infographics, data-viz trends, and comparisons. Any actual product movement won't surface until a real changelog or release source is tracked.
