Hi All! Here’s our update for April:

Improved

• Tags now auto-complete in search. Woohoo!
• To make things even better, tags also auto-completes in inbox capture.
• Checked status, color label, and heading now show up in mind map view.
• Added custom shortcuts for deleting checked items.

Fixed

• Fixed pasting an image doesn’t upload it for Dynalist Pro users.
• Various mind map view fixes.
• Fixed date picker and “[[” popups sometimes gets cropped.
• On the mobile apps, fixed tapping on the expand/collapse button will scroll you to the previously focused item (a mobile update will be released soon).
• Fixed “No result found” getting stuck after you clear search term in file finder.
• Fixed certain functions not available in LaTeX.

Hi all! We were on semi-vacation for most of this month, and this is what we managed to get done between jet lags:

Features & improvements

• You can now complete multiple recurring dates and they will update in bulk.
• “[[” link suggestion dialog now prioritizes results from the same document.
• When clicking tags while holding the Alt key to delete them, now extra whitespace will be properly removed, so that when you delete 10 consecutive tags, you don’t end up with a bunch of spaces.
• API improvement: when capture to inbox or creating new items, now the IDs of the newly created items will be returned for your convenience.

Fixed

• Fixed WorkFlowy import no longer working as they’ve changed their interface.

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!

New

• Paying Pro users: you can now view all your invoices here. You can click on the billing info to edit it as you like. The invoices are print-friendly—thanks for the generous support to keep us going, by the way!
• Added new customizable shortcut for unchecking all children items. This is useful if you want to reuse the same checklist every day or every week.
• [In progress] We have started working on adding spell-checking to the desktop apps.

Improved

• [Tag] Made it so that purely numeric tags like “#42” won’t be recognized as tags. They won’t appear in the tag pane either.
• [LaTeX] Updated KaTeX version to the latest version so that newer functions like colorbox can be used.
• [UX] Show checked off items as visually checked in the “Move to” and Internal Link dialogs so you don’t accidentally move something under an invisible checked item.

Fixed

• [UX/minor] Fixed cannot undo after using Ctrl+drag to make copy of item.
