Changelog

When we first built Jadebook, we built it in a monolith-structure where everything was in one place. While this worked great, the scope of Jadebook has increased — where we want to support different platforms. The previous architecture made this extremely difficult so we completely reworked it.

Here's what's been shipped:

1. Flat 20-30% performance improvement

2. Increased backend security and reliability

3. Memory is now much faster to generate and more reliable

4. Major UI overhaul to make everything less janky and far more versatile

5. The editor is now simpler due to our plans to build a mobile app

Oh and we made the marketing site way better :)

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

We’ve been focusing on performance and UI. The focus this time was the notes and goals which were previously stored within their parents. I.e the notes were stored within the entry. But this meant we had to add aggressive restrictions as to not take up too much space in a single object.

But with the new Reflective Agents the previous character limit of 600 simply wasn’t enough. So with the new updates, you can now store more notes, the character limits have been increased to 2000 (1000 for free users) and entries in general should be much faster.

• Update Notes and Goals

  • More performance and higher character limits

• New settings sidebar
