Changelog

Pro Trial

You’re now able to start a Pro subscription with a 1-month trial to try out all its features. You can cancel it anytime and will get a reminder email 7 days before the trial ends.

The trial can be activated from the Billing tab in the Organization Settings. Please note that only users with Admin role will be able to access this.

HacknPlan Importer

We’ve added a beta version of our HacknPlan importer. We’ve received an increased interest in people who wanted to switch over, so we’re making the process as simple as possible.

We’re on a roll with our second update this month! Here’s a list of everything new:

• You can ctrl / cmd + click on a Milestone icon to open the corresponding milestone view! How did we manage to live without this for so long?
• The order of cards within swim lanes when sorting by creation date, update date or upvotes is now consistent.
• The logic for picking a date range within the Time Tracking report date filter has been reworked.
• Entering invalid payment data shows an error message again.
• We’ve also spent some time creating an abstraction for the text editor so that we can experiment with an alternative implementation.

Due Dates

This has been our number one feature request for quite some time, now it’s finally here: Due Dates! You can now assign individual due dates to any card to make sure that you never forget about a deadline again.

Due dates are fully integrated into various Codecks systems:

• Find all your and your team’s due cards from the Hand via a new tab
• Get notified about all due cards on the day they become due
• Use the new timeline view to see all your due cards next to your organization’s milestones
• Group your cards by due date and search for them
• Use our bulk action bar to set the due date for multiple cards at once
• You have to be on the Pro plan to use due dates

The first version of Decky has been released almost 3 years ago. Since that time, Discord has added a lot of features: replies, threads and most recently slash commands. For our new update we’ve redesigned Decky to use the full power of Discord. We’ve also added new customization options and unique features. Our goal for Decky is to provide the best Discord community management experience in the world for both, you and your audience.

We’re on Product Hunt!

Product Hunt is like a reddit for tech products and we’ve submitted Decky there. If you have a Product Hunt account make sure to check it out and say hello! <3

Our Discord bot Decky is now installed on more than 1,000 servers and has processed over 100,000 upvotes. For the start of 2022 we’re setting out to make Decky even better. We want to make it the BEST tool for tracking your Discord community feedback in a playful and efficient way. To reach that goal we’re making some big improvements.

The first thing we noticed is that leader boards can grow stale, which defeats their purpose. That’s why we’re adding new sorting options that allow you to sort leader boards by recent upvotes, instead of overall upvotes. This will shift the focus of leader boards towards what’s going on right now, similar to how Reddit works. While we were at it, we also reworked their appearance to be more readable.

The latest Codecks update is now live — here’s what changed!

Upvote anywhere

Codecks gives you great project tracking, making sure that your production ship sails fast. Feedback from your community makes sure that your production is not only fast but also working towards the right direction. That’s what makes community building so instrumental for a lot of us.

We believe that combining project management and community building is the next step for modern teams:

• Your community members can now upvote cards not only on Discord, but also on your Open Decks page.
• A new stats dashboard makes it easier to see new upvotes and your most popular cards. It also allows you to quickly see how many fans are visiting your open decks and signing up to receive email updates from your open decks. The upvote statistics can be accessed from the Hand tab by selecting the potion icon on the left.
• Your own team members can now also join in on the fun and upvote cards inside your project (can be enabled/disabled for each project individually). A potential use case is to signal group agreement regarding game design ideas.
• To upvote a card look for the potion icon on top of the opened card.

Full release of the new Hand

Now Codecks is even more like playing with cards! We’ve refined the beta of the Hand v2 for more than half a year and it’s now ready for being rolled out to everyone. The completely redesigned Hand tab provides each user with a personal work queue and quick access to conversations and bookmarks.

Cards in your old Hand have been moved to bookmarks.

More improvements and fixes

• Swim lanes / Hand: Effort summary now shows completed vs total effort. This area now also contains a summary of the time tracked within a swim lane.
• Metrics: Search filters now affects all relevant metrics.
• Search: Input grows if many filters are present
• Search: Allow searching for “undone” cards.
• Conversations: Fix missing click event for Avatars without image.
• Conversations: More reliable detection of mentioned users when @mentions weren’t directly entered via the editor.
• Dependencies: Archived or done cards being unblocked no longer results in a notification.
• Account creation: resolved a conflict that could happen when user created a new org and was invited to a different org.
• Digest Mails: We’re now syncing your browser’s time zone with your user account. This means we’ll now send daily digests at ~6:15am of your time zone (instead of 6:15am CET). Time stamps in emails are now also converted into your time zone.

Card Dependencies for Pro users in Beta

Dependencies in Codecks are finally here!

• Mark any card as incoming and outgoing dependency
• Automate recurring dependency chains by applying dependencies to journeys
• Filter out locked out cards, so you can focus on cards that are ready to be worked on
• Get notified if a card you owned got unlocked
• This feature is available to Pro users only (This includes users on the education plan as well)

To enable dependencies for your org, open the Mission Control via the Joystick Icon and look for Organization Settings > Features

Automatic cover images

We’re making it easier to fill your project with beautiful card cover images. Here are two new automation options for that:

1. Any image uploaded will become a cover image. There are two modes:

   • Use first image will only apply an attached image if there’s no cover image present already.
   • Use most recent image will overwrite any already existing cover image, which can be a convenient way to visualize the progress of a card.

2. Sub cards will inherit the cover image of their Hero card if they don’t have their own cover image set.

Updated cover image styling for cards

As you know trading card games are a big inspiration for us. To make sure your cover images are as striking as they can be, we reworked our card display modes. That means that from now on they will not just be more beautiful but also easier to recognize in your decks as we preserve more of the original image color. Let us know what you think!

This is only the first step towards several image-related improvements coming to Codecks soon.

Backlinks

In the bottom right of an opened card, you will now find a number that shows how many cards mention this card. Click on the counter to toggle the card list and jump to any of those cards quickly. This is super useful for maintaining your wiki and GDD inside of Codecks.
