v0.5.0
Closing without questions, time travel for every file, Markdown preview, a notebook, zen mode and a Nyu who is alive ✧
- Closing never asks any more. Just close it: the next start brings everything back exactly as it was, unsaved notes included, even with session restore switched off. Drafts are saved about a second after you type instead of every 20 seconds
- Note trash: a tab with unsaved changes also closes without asking, and its text goes to the trash. Bring it back with "Restore" on the notification, with Ctrl+Shift+T (even after a restart) or from the notebook. Entries expire after 30 days
- Notebook in the sidebar: open notes and the trash, with previews and search. Untitled notes are now named after their first line, and "Save as" suggests a file name from it
- Time travel: every file and every note keeps versions automatically – on save, before a reload, before "Replace in files" or another program overwrites the text, and every few minutes while you type. Any version can be compared side by side with the current text, restored (undoable), opened in a new tab or copied. Older versions thin out (7 to 365 days, configurable)
- Markdown preview right next to the editor (Ctrl+Shift+V): it scrolls along, shows tables, task lists and highlighted code, and its checkboxes can be clicked. In the editor, Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+click ticks off a task. The preview never loads anything from the network and never runs anything a file contains
- Outline: headings, functions and sections of the active file in the sidebar, one click away
- Bookmarks as in Notepad++: Ctrl+F2 sets one, F2 and Shift+F2 jump, plus copy or delete bookmarked lines and a list across all open files
- Zen mode (F11): fullscreen, just the text as a calm column, optionally with typewriter scrolling and dimmed surroundings. Esc brings everything back as it was
- Pin and colour tabs: pinned tabs stay on the left and survive "Close all", plus five colours like Notepad++. New: "Close to the right"
- Word count: the status bar shows the word count; a click shows characters, paragraphs and reading and speaking time for the document and the selection
- Nyu is alive: she sits at the bottom left of the status bar, types along, falls asleep when you take a break, follows the caret with her eyes and now and then peeks in from the edge of the window. Witch hat in October; a Santa hat, a party hat and bunny ears follow
- Levels and achievements: while you write, Nyu gains experience, levels up and unlocks achievements and hats. Everything stays on your computer
- Nyu Pomodoro in the status bar, and a few secrets (try typing "uwu"). Each part can be switched off under Settings → Nyu; with animations off, Nyu holds still
