Happy New Year! Has everyone gotten used to the year 2019 now? I know we haven’t 😉

Here’s our update for January 2019:

Features & improvements

• Two new themes, Sakura and Sci-Fi, are now added. Sakura is a girly light pink theme that’s perfect for the springtime, and Sci-Fi is a dark theme that features futurist cyberpunk colors.
• Now when you create a document, it will be automatically opened.

Fixed

• Fixed the iOS freeze issue when you resume the app.
• Fixed inbox capture not working on the first try on mobile apps (v1.3.1).
• Fixed desktop app title not updated properly when you switch between documents.

Hi all! Here’s our update for November 2018:

Features & improvements

• You can now add words to dictionary on the desktop app (Version 1.1.14+)! I was finally able to add the abbreviations that I commonly use to the dictionary. It felt great 😉
• If you write in multiple languages, you can now also select which language you want the spellchecker to check. The option can be found in in Settings – Preferences – Input. (Available in version 1.1.14+)

Other news

• We have finished designing the specs of recurring dates and are currently working on it. We are aiming to have it available before Christmas. Stay tuned!

Hi all! Here’s our update for October 2018. Next month, we’ll be improving spellchecker and hopefully start to work on recurring dates.

Features & improvements

• Finally spell-checking is available in our desktop apps! Just make sure your Dynalist app is at least 1.1.13. Currently, the spellchecker is only able to work with English text, and there are no options yet to add words to the dictionary. Hopefully that will all be added before our next monthly update.
• Now available: new sort option called “Reverse current” that will reverse the current item order.

Fixed

• Fixed sorting option not working for the document root item or the current zoomed in item.

Other news

• Starting in October, we’ve got Thao onboard to help with our customer support. You can still always reach us! Just let Thao know that you want to talk to Erica about the product or talk to Shida about technical stuff.
• Our blog and forum have now been migrated from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS so it not longer screams “Not secure” on certain browsers! This should have been done long ago and we apologize it took so long.

This is our first monthly update. During the past few months, we’ve have the feeling that weekly updates no longer seem suitable for the current Dynalist.

Moving fast used to be our priority. Now that Dynalist has grown bigger, and more importantly, more users are relying on Dynalist, we simply need to take more time to make sure things work properly before changing anything. We also need to try to consider everyone’s opinions before making a change (back in 2015, we used to make something just because a single user requested it, good times!).

So, lately we’ve been feeling that in order to not to post weekly updates that say “we’re done nothing”, we have been focusing on small fixes and low-hanging fruits. If something was going to take us weeks to do, we started hesitating and thinking “but what about the next weekly update?” Totally not a healthy sign, and not good for Dynalist’s future either.

As a result, we have decided to post monthly updates from now on, so that we have more time to post something more substantial than the small fixes and tweaks we’re doing now. The monthly updates will be posted on the first day of the each month.

Thanks for reading and understanding!
