Quick Update

Major rework

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
