v2.12 2026-09-21
Improved the handwriting experience: added a stroke-weight picker above the handwriting canvas with three presets — fine, medium, and bold — available in both the inline board and the fullscreen write panel, with icons that preview your current pen color. Your choice is remembered per browser for next time.
v2.11 2026-09-05
Fixed a handful of bugs: native browser alert/confirm/prompt popups are now a custom dialog matching the rest of the app's look, a blank list's default title used to show the server's UTC time instead of your own local time, and entries within a list now sort newest-first instead of oldest-first.
v2.10 2026-08-26
Added Quick Source Switch: while hand-copying into an open D1–D4, a small floating panel now lets you glance at the list you're copying from as a read-only overlay right on the page, without leaving it, and without disturbing your draft, scroll position, or handwriting canvas. Also improved the handwriting experience on iPad/iPhone: strokes drawn quickly with Apple Pencil no longer get interrupted by the browser's native text-selection callout, and drawing stays smooth at high sampling rates. A number of other bugs were fixed too, including the Source overlay letting the page behind it scroll along with it.
v2.3 2026-08-25
Added Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) as a full third language, plus a redesigned language switcher: a dedicated globe icon in the nav bar replaces the language links that used to be buried in the hamburger menu, with a checkmark showing which language is active. Old /zh/... links still work and now redirect to their new /zh-cn/... address. Also shipped a few SEO improvements: the sitemap now cross-links every language version of each page, Open Graph tags correctly declare each page's language for link previews, and a couple of overly long page descriptions were trimmed to display properly in search results.
v2.0 2026-08-20
The biggest change yet: distillation from the headlist through D1–D4 is no longer automatic. After a review, you hand-write or type each "still need it" word into the next list yourself — hand-copying engages a part of memory passive review alone doesn't reach (D4 → Vault stays fully automatic). Also: entry translations are now folded by default, both on a list and during review, so you test recall before peeking; a fully-reviewed list now shows a clear "Reviewed" status instead of a misleading "Awaiting review"; review submissions are now rejected if any entry is left unanswered, checked consistently on every browser including Safari; and the About, Philosophy, and Guide pages were rewritten to match. We also fixed two bugs this refactor would otherwise have exposed: newly hand-copied entries were incorrectly locked as non-editable, and a fully-reviewed list could keep showing as "ready to review" indefinitely.
v1.4 2026-08-15
Some user experience improvements and bug fixes.
v1.3 2026-08-14
Fixed several bilingual language-switching edge cases, renamed the entry-edit submit button to "Update" with change-aware enabling, added a loading indicator when opening a list, defaulted blank headlist titles to the current timestamp, added a Sitemap directive to robots.txt, fixed the custom color picker floating off-position and covering the swatch panel, and added a tap-to-write cover on the handwriting board for narrow touch screens to prevent accidental strokes while scrolling.
v1.2 2026-08-06
Fixed several bugs and made a number of smaller improvements.
v1.1 2026-08-04
Added mobile and tablet support: the navigation now collapses into a dropdown menu in the top-right corner, and the layout adapts to smaller screens without horizontal overflow.
v1.0 2026-07-31 01:12
Initial release of Goldlist Notebook: the core Goldlist method (headlist → D1–D4 distillation → Vault), Google sign-in, handwriting capture, and a bilingual English/Chinese interface.
