Quick Update
It’s been a while but there have been a lot of changes made to improve Jadebook. You’ll notice that we removed optional encryption and full-text search. A goal we currently have is to reduce complexity especially when it’s unnecessary and these just happened to be a part of that.
Guided Journals have been updated to include all the features from the other types of journalling
This includes AI features, covers, icons, searching, and more.
Optional encryption is no longer a thing. Everything will be encrypted always.
This also means that full-text search will no longer work. Semantic Search is now the only way the search works
Added a space under the typing cursor so the text doesn’t hit the bottom of the viewport
Update Entry UI to be much cleaner and intuitive
This includes the icon selector, top bar and now the UI will also fade away when typing to allow you to focus more
The quick actions like add icon, add cover and the document date now fade away unless you hover over near them
We’ve also removed some rich-text features. Thinking about the mobile app, these features would have made development far more difficult for no reason.
This include the text-align, subscript and superscript
Major Goals rework
Covers are now supported
The Logs editor is wayyy better
Logs have an updated rating system. Rather than a thumbs up and thumbs down, we now have on track, off track, neutral and major update
Logs now load differently. We load the first 5 and then load more as you scroll. Previously there was so much text and data that it would be overwhelming
Slight update to how Guided Systems work — mainly performance improvements
Assets settings rework
Assets should now load faster
UI has been updated to be more intuitive
You can now see what entity the asset is linked to and go to it
Eg. If the asset is in a journal entry, you can go to that entry
