This time there’s a lot of Quality of life improvements:
We noticed that long cards and long conversations could lead to frustrations at times. While sometimes less is more, that’s probably not always true for the amount of scrollbars. We tried to live with only one main scrollbar for a long time, but now that we’ve added scrollbars to long cards and the side panel, we’re already asking ourselves how we could have lived without!
Wide mode
We understand Codecks to be more than just a list of tasks. We’re moving towards becoming a great place for your knowledge base and design documents. As a next step, we introduced Wide mode to cards. This will make it much more pleasant to create, edit, and read large amounts of texts. To activate it look out for the ↔️ arrows or hit w on your keyboard.
There’s more:
- Attachments: There’s a download button now!
- Card content: Referenced cards (via
$cardid) now get a background color according to the referenced card’s status. So if you create an overview card referring to lots of sub tasks, you can now see at a glance how far a certain feature has come.
- Side Panel: Once a side panel has been opened, it’ll stay open when browsing through other cards. This avoids the situation of reshuffling the mini cards whenever different cards led to opening or closing the side panel when clicking on them.
- Archived cards: They received a redesign and look more like normal cards. Because most of the time they’re just completed cards and not much different from non-archived completed cards. Especially for milestone reviews this has been somewhat irritating.
- Card Detail View: When jumping from card to card or when clicking a checkmark, the “unsaved content” message sometimes showed up for a second. This is now fixed. Also the spinning animation has been improved, leading to less erratic behaviour.
- Mobile view: We made some improvements to the core views and interactions. While we can’t focus on a great mobile experience yet, it definitely feels much less broken now!
- Keyboard shortcuts: The keyboard shortcut button went missing at some point! You can now find it again at the bottom left. (Or hit
? to open it.) Note that it’s context dependent and shows different hints depending on what part of the app you’re currently in.
- Card Selection: The selection header now displays the total effort of all selected cards.
