Pinterest improves its organizational tools

Source: Pinterest

If you've ever pinned something on Pinterest and can't remember why you did so, some new tools for the site's mobile app will help you remember or organize your boards better. It's now possible to add "notes to self" to anything you pin. If you work with boards with over 150 Pins, there is a new board toolbar that gives you quick access to actions you need to take. These include options for organizing your pins or diving into notes you've left on them. You can favourite Pins within a board now. And when you've done so a few times, you can sort the Pinterest board to display your favourites first.

As we mentioned, the update is mobile-focused right now. But we're hoping it makes its way to Pinterest.com soon.

Google Assistant routines can now be placed on your homescreen

A new update to Google Assistant will allow you to put your routine shortcuts on your homescreen. According to 9to5Google, the feature is rolling out to more users. The option "Add Routines to your Home screen" will appear when you edit any routine. There will be a small pop-up that will show up when it happens for the first time. 

The move seems like a way to appease any complaints from Google moving the ability to trigger routines from the primary set of action buttons in the Home app to a more extensive menu. That redesign made it more troublesome to access these features. But with this new option, it will be much easier to get to the routines you need.
