v1.1.0 · Abomey

Two things you could not do before. A note can hold a table — a few options against a
few columns — with everything needed to shape one a click away from the cell you are
already in. And search knows about your folders and tags, so a note you remember only
as "the one in Budget" is findable by that, and you can narrow a search to one folder
without leaving the search box.

A new minor line, so a new name: Abomey, the royal capital of Dahomey, whose palace walls
recorded the kingdom in bas-relief. A release about writing things down in a shape you can
find again later.

🆕 Added

• Tables, one slash away. Type /, pick Table, and a three-by-three grid with a
  header row lands as its own block with the cursor already in the first cell. There is
  no size picker on purpose — deciding on dimensions before you have any data is exactly
  the stop-and-think that menu exists to avoid. Add rows and columns as the thing takes
  shape. It is deliberately not a spreadsheet: no formulas, no sorting, no merged cells.
• Rows and columns can be added, moved and removed. Insert above, below, left or
  right; move a row up or down and a column left or right; delete a row, a column, or the
  whole table. An action with nowhere to go — moving the top row up — is greyed out rather
  than quietly doing nothing when you press it.
• Deleting the last row deletes the table. Ask for the only remaining row to go and
  the table goes with it, instead of the app going silent and leaving you in a one-row
  table with no way out. ⌘Z brings it all back.
• The table actions come to you. On a desktop a small handle appears in whichever cell
  holds the cursor and opens the same menu, so reshaping a table does not mean looking
  away to the toolbar for something you are doing right here. On a phone the toolbar's
  table button scrolls itself into view the moment you tap into a table, rather than
  waiting off the edge of a row you had no reason to scroll.
• A wide table scrolls inside itself, and its header row stays put while the rows
  slide underneath, so a long table never leaves you guessing which column you are
  reading. The note itself never scrolls sideways — nothing else in the app does.
• Columns can be resized by dragging their edge, wherever there is a mouse to do it
  with. The edge thickens and turns terracotta under the pointer, and the cursor changes,
  so the line tells you it can be dragged before you try. A table only grows wider than
  the note when its columns genuinely cannot fit; when they can, it goes back to filling
  the width by itself.
• Tables read correctly to a screen reader, because header cells are marked as the
  headers of their columns rather than merely looking like them — so a value is announced
  with the column it belongs to. Every action in the menu is reachable from the keyboard
  through the toolbar.
• A table stays a table on the note card, shown as a miniature grid rather than as a
  run-together line of words, and the words inside its cells are findable by search like
  any other text in the note.
• Search knows about your folders and tags. Typing a folder's name finds the notes
  filed in it, and typing a tag's name finds the notes carrying it — even when that word
  appears nowhere in the notes themselves. So a note you remember only as "the one in
  Budget" is now findable by that, and a result that turned up for that reason says so on
  its own row, rather than looking like a mistake. Accents are ignored on both sides:
  typing "cafe" finds a folder called "Café", which matters now the app speaks French.
• Search can be narrowed to one folder or one tag. A selector in the search bar reads
  "All notes" until you point it somewhere; results then come only from there, and the
  words you have already typed keep applying inside it. Choosing "All notes" again puts
  you back, without losing what you typed. Each folder and tag in that list shows how many
  notes it would give you for what you have typed, lined up in a column so you can read
  down them at a glance — so picking where to look is a decision rather than a guess, and a
  folder with nothing in it simply shows no number.

🩹 Fixed

• The welcome no longer flashes the app at you before the guide arrives. On a brand
  new library the opening animation used to fade out onto a working interface for about
  half a second before the welcome guide landed on top of it — long enough to start
  reaching for something, and then have a dialog take the screen. The three beats are now
  separate: the opening animation, then the guide by itself on the app's own paper, and
  only once you have finished or skipped it does Lockpad itself fade up — on your full
  note list, whichever page the browser happened to be pointed at. Replaying the guide
  later from Settings is untouched: it still opens over your library, and leaves you on
  the page you called it from.
• A note reference opens where you are already reading. Clicking a linked note from
  inside the text of a note used to throw it open in a new browser tab, while the panel
  you were reading moved on to it as well: the same note in two places, and a stray tab
  to close afterwards. It now does what the links in the note's header have always done.
  The note you clicked slides into the panel you are in, and the note you came from is
  waiting for you under Backlinks to slide you back.
• A pasted link opens one tab, not two. The cards that stand in for a Figma file, a
  GitHub repository or a YouTube video were being opened twice by one click, landing you
  with a duplicate tab every time.

🚧 Known limits

• No merged or split cells. Every row has the same number of cells. A table pasted
  from elsewhere that contains merged cells will render, but the actions in the menu are
  not written for it.
• Resizing a column needs a mouse. The drag is a mouse gesture and there is no touch
  equivalent, so on a phone a table is read by scrolling it rather than by reshaping it.
  Nothing is hidden that a finger could otherwise have used.
• The header row stays first. It cannot be moved down and no row can be moved above
  it, because a heading in the middle of the data describes nothing.
• A word in a note's title ranks no higher than the same word buried in its body.
  Search treats a note as one piece of text, so the note actually called "Budget" can
  sit below one that merely mentions budgets in passing. Folder and tag matches are
  nudged up the list; titles are not, yet.
• Folder and tag names need two characters before they are matched. A single letter
  would pull in most of your folders and drown the notes you were actually searching for.
