Last week we made lots of improvements:
Feature
- New Pro setting: custom date format. You can find it under Settings – Preferences – Date.
Improved
- Front-end speed optimization. We first reduced the number of elements on the page by about 24%, and then we rewrote much of the front-end structures to make things faster. To see things in action, see a screen recording from before and after the optimization. Pay attention to how fast the menu icons on the left of the bullet point reacts, and how fast typing has become. This test document contains 8,303 items that are deeply nested and fully expanded. The initial load still takes time to build and place the elements, but after everything gets loaded huge documents are now much more usable than before. This is on the web version only right now; it will come to all available platforms shortly.
- Improved move item/internal link search. Now items that match the search term more closely and that are in the same document will appear higher up in the search results.
Fixed
- [Copy paste] Fixed multiple rows get pasted from Microsoft Excel into Dynalist as a single item.
- [Search] Fixed exact search terms (marked with quotation marks) being case-insensitive. They should be case-sensitive.
- [Google sign-in] Added helpful error message when Google sign-in fails. We recently found out that the issue happens when you have your “Block third-party cookies and site data” setting enabled. Adding Dynalist to the whitelist solves the problem.
- [Export] Made “Download HTML file” and “Download OPML file” follow the “Export visible items only” setting.
- [UI/minor] Made checkboxes appear when printing the page.
That’s it, more goodies are coming next week!
