July 26th, 2024

So much good new stuff!
Please reach out via the live chat or respond to this update if anything does not work, there were lots of changes and moving parts and we’ll fix any bug immediately.

Feature Input needed for Zapier/PKM integrations

We’re planning right now which tools to integrate with next (Zapier, Notion, Tana, IFTTT, Remnote, Evernote etc) and want to know which tools you prefer.
» Please take this 30s poll !

Nested Spaces in the Space selector

Up until now you were only able to create sub-spaces via the dashboard. Now you can do that via the picker too! We’re already working on typing “/” to search and add new Subspaces.

Now you can:

  • Click on the > or on the path above the space name or use on your keyboard to unfold the Spaces

  • + to add a new Subspace to an entry

  • to navigate through the Subspaces.

Edit & Re-Run prompts

You can now easily edit and re-run a prompt if you were not satisfied with the results.

This works on every part of the response.

Auto-Scrolling YouTube Transcripts + Language Selection

Now the YouTube transcripts autoscroll with he video progress & you can select the transcript language too!

Better adjustments with smaller time frames in the video range selector

Now the label will move to the outside of the drag selector if the range is less than 10% of the video.

Invite multiple email addresses to a space at once

Previously you had to tediously type in one address after the other.
Now just comma separate them.

A bunch of improvements to the highlighting tooltip UX

  • Disabling/Reenabling the tooltip will now work without having to reload the page

  • Clicking around on highlight will now work on “Mousedown” making everything aaaa lot snappier

  • Annotation Tooltip can be resized now

  • The tooltip should not go out of bounds anymore and now reposition inside the screen properly.

Quality of Life improvements

  • GPT-4o-mini is now the default model, deprecating the use of GPT-3.5

    • 34x cheaper than GPT-4o and 60% cheaper than GPT-3.5

    • Comparable performance to gpt-4o

    • Image + Text Support like previously with Claude-3-Haiku

  • Code blocks show up more nicely now, properly scrollable

    • Though not perfect yet, annoating code blocks seems to be more tricky to retain indentation and line breaks than I thought.

  • Readwise sync improvements

    • [[WikiLinks]] are now properly synced over

    • code inline and code blocks now properly synced

      • The are however not properly rendered inside readwise

  • Improvements to UX of auto-add button

    • Better styling and also better tooltip explanations

  • Improvements to the result items UX

    • hover buttons come faster and hover over result if no spaces are there, resulting in less glitchy behaviour

    • Spaces are sorted under the date if there are too many

Fixes

  • Keep the collapsed-note-setting also on items that are added to results via pagination

  • Don’t copy the note if not hovered with cmd+c

  • Fixing hotkey UX of annotating the transcript on YouTube

  • Improvements to detecting when user has upgraded subscription

  • Fix template editor modal not closing when clicking outside of it

  • Fixing highlight color pickers where colors where not editable via the text field

July 1st, 2024

Now you can toggle open the YouTube transcripts with clickable timestamps to jump to the corresponding video section and use time-range filters.

Working Features:

  • Toggle open/close the transcripts

  • Filter time frame of transcript

  • Jump to time in video by clicking on the transcript timestamp

  • Annotate the text of the transcript

Known improvements:

  • By annotating the text of the transcript, add the timestamp to the annotation.

  • Search in Transcript

  • Follow Mode for the transcript scroll

  • AI beautification of sentence structure of transcript.
    Now all just continuous text because of the output from the YT transcript.

  • One-click summarize or use transcript block as annotation

Anything we're missing?

June 28th, 2024

Quality of Life improvements:

Better Highlighting Color UX

  • Create highlight with a color directly via the tooltip on click

  • Change color of existing highlight

  • Use hotkeys to create colored highlights and change the color on existing ones:

    • 1 (default) to 6

  • Edit the highlight colors and labels via the tooltip (click on the edit icon when you hover over it)

Bigger Image Previews

Now you can click on an image in a comment and it will show it to you in the original size

Fixes

  • Fixed rare race condition bug where if you were to sync your data with a new device and use the annotations before the settings are synced over, it would overwrite your highlight colour settings because it would sync back the "defaults".

  • Drag & Drop items into Spaces via the dashboard sidebar has regressed

  • Annotating tables has regressed

June 26th, 2024

Quality of life improvements

  • Your Memex auth state is now synced with the feature/changelog/roadmap board, making it unnecessary to sign up on a separate platform to give feedback or engage in conversations.

  • PDFs are now directly openable via the Google-Search results

  • Big performance improvements for the lists sidebar drag & drop

Bug fixes

  • 2 massive mystery sync bugs that we could finally figure out whats happening and fix

    • Page updates (like changing title) would overwrite the full text field. The same mechanism would make only Tweet title searchable as mentioned here @Full-text index Twitter threads/replies

    • Because of an untested URL normalisation dependency on React Native, in some cases annotations would not be associated with the right page, and thus seem "lost"

  • Fix regression with AI queries not working on Dashboard

June 19th, 2024

We have a first version running of the mobile search.

No matter if you are trying to reference a link in a conversation, want to find that recipe you saved while being at the store, or pull up an article from your reading list while taking your morning poop - We got you covered.

For now it only supports title/url and annotations, and soon also Full-Text.

Update to the latest version and you're good to go!

June 11th, 2024

Quality of Life improvements

Select existing AI templates directly from the highlighting tooltip

Much more compact tooltip

Redesign of click-on-highlight tooltip to have action items better reachable
