1. XKit Packs
Historically, developing for XKit was pretty hard, since it was pretty much a walled garden: in order to publish your extensions, you had to send them to me, wait for me to inspect them and then add them to the extension gallery. Or you could host and share your extensions yourself, but that would mean your users would have to use the XKit Editor, and would not get automatic updates.
With XKit Packs, anyone can publish extensions, and anyone can install them with just a few clicks. And they work mostly like “normal” XKit extensions: when the developer updates their extension, you get the updates automatically. The only difference is that they are not listed on the Extension Gallery, meaning that developers have to promote them themselves.
Packs also come with a “kill switch”, so if I become aware of a malicious extension, I will mark it as so, and XKit will remove it on the next update check.

2. XCloud Web Access
XCloud Web Access allows you to access your XCloud account on any computer, even mobile devices.
For now, it’s very, very limited, and you can only view a summary of your last backup and change your password, but in the future, you’ll be able to view your archived posts, bookmarks, and share your Themes+ themes, as well as set up a password recovery e-mail address.
I was going to wait until it was completely finished, but since it’s used for publishing XKit Packs, and password changing can be useful for others, it’s now available in it’s current limited form.
