Weekly update: 2016 week #29

Hello y’all! It’s been a busy week at Dynalist:

Bug fixes

  • We patched a bug where “Can’t sync” error arises when large changes are made (like moving large lists and paste in lots of data). This should stop happening for now.

Improvements

  • Moving an item up and down is now available on mobile. Woohoo!
  • Multi-item copy ✂️ & paste 📋 used to copy everything, no matter if it’s visible or not. This makes copying search results hard. Now only visible items are copied (except in OPML format, where everything is copied), so you get what you see.
  • Now caret focus location is preserved when zooming out with keyboard shortcut. Yay!
  • For German users, the shortcuts to zoom in and out weren’t working, as square brackets work completely differently in the German keyboard layout. Now we added a new keyboard layout setting for German 🇩🇪, under which you can zoom in with Alt+Right and zoom out with Alt+Left, bypassing the bracket problem.

Features

  • Last week we spent the most time working on date support. You guys have been waiting for some time, and we think you deserve a sneak peek into this upcoming feature! 📅

    Please note that no details are final yet! This is just a preview. We’re working on the final polishing and testing to make sure it looks pretty and works in all major browsers. Timezone is also a pain, but we’re getting there! 💪

  • Another small feature that we rolled out last week is the new “Export visible items only” option in Export. If you don’t want to export items that are filtered by search or whatever, use this option!

If things don’t go terribly wrong, we should be able to release date support before the next weekly update 😍. See you then! 👋
