Update Notes

  • Improved global search modal for local workspace by @Komediruzecki
  • Revamped shortcut keys
  • Notarized macOS app

Improved global search modal

@Komediruzecki introduced huge improvements for global search in local workspaces. Just like IntelliJ IDEA, you can see content from the search in the modal. Please check it out. You can open it via clicking the search button or a keyboard shotcut (macOS: Cmd + P, Windows/Linux: Ctrl + P)

Revamped shortcut keys

The below shortcuts are available for both local workspaces and cloud workspaces.

Notarized macOS app

For macOS users, Boost Note.next app has been notarized! So new macOS users won’t see the message below after downloading the app.

What’s next

We still have lots of pull requests to review and merge.

Also, frontend code of the cloud workspaces (This is not the legacy cloud storage), which is currently hosted on our server, will be merged into BoostNote.next and be published as open source. This will provide more unified UX between the local workspaces and the cloud workspaces.

Lastly, we will introduce Hot Update. Like lots of mobile games, the app can be updated without restarting.(Sometimes it will ask you to restart if the changes cannot be bundled on the frontend side)

The next release, v0.13.x, will be shipped around the 2nd week of January and will include:

  • Some features from the submitted pull requests
  • Unified cloud workspaces
  • Hot update

Thanks for reading. If you have any ideas or feedback for the app, please join our slack and ping me(@rokt33r)!
