v2.15 2026-10-05
Handwriting couldn't be fixed in place if you wrote it wrong - an entry's edit panel now has a "Delete" button that removes the entry (and its handwriting image in storage) so you can add a corrected one.
v2.14 2026-10-04
Added a "Your stats" page: click the stats icon next to your name in the menu to see how many words you currently remember, how many are awaiting distillation, and how many have reached the Vault.
v2.13 2026-10-01
Fixed a bug where the fine/medium/bold stroke-weight presets for handwriting would collapse to the same visible width under a light stylus press; all three now stay distinct at any pen pressure.
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.
