Weekly update: 2016 week #28

We’ll keep this week’s update very brief:

  1. Biggest news: we’re halfway through building dates! Super, super excited about this!ย ๐ŸŽ‰
  2. We rewrote our markdown recognition algorithm to prepare for dates, which broke some other stuff. So if you saw HTML links disappear last week… that was our fault. It’s all fixed now, thank god (and Shida).
  3. After fixing copying multiple items in Safari the week before last week, copy and paste was broken in Firefox. We spent quite some time to every major browser happy.
  4. As a side note, last week we helped two users recover their data. We recently started tested part of the offline system in production, which involved huge sync protocol changes. So the reports really scared us.
    But as it turned out, one request was due to a copy and paste bug on Firefox, and the other “data loss” report was due to logging into the wrong account and therefore “losing everything”.
    Two false alarms, but the good news is, with no one reporting actually losing data so far, it means the new offline prototype is running pretty smoothly! ๐Ÿ‘ย This gives us a lot of confidence in using it in desktop and mobile apps.

So see you next week! Hopefully we’re be a lot closer to releasing v1.0 date support ๐Ÿ™‚
