Grug Notes

A simple self-organizing tool for text.

changelog changelog / Jul 04 
UI clean up on settings, imports/exports, and subscriptions page.

Added ability to link and unlink google auth account.

Fixed ui bug where chat would pop open on login with google.
changelog changelog / Jun 30 
Grug Chat added to the home page. Still a work in progress. 

Diff/compare feature added to chat experience.

Some small bug fixes for urls. Links with ' or " at the end of it would cause rendering errors.
changelog changelog / Jun 25 
Some clean up. Better titles, meta tags, robots.txt etc. BORING. ok bye.
changelog changelog / Jun 24 
HUGE UPDATE

Way faster and way more accurate search. This one is big. It's so much better. Much better date handling, ie filtering on dates. Streams in as the final answer is resolved. Stoked. (ok had a full day of new production bugs, but it looks to be working!)

Chat (available only on prompt pages and individual block pages so far) is now powered primarily by chatgpt o3. It's slow, but also absolutely better given the quality of the model. Agent mode aka 'Big Brain' was a huge rewrite -- it's also slow, but output can be way better. A lot here is still a work in progress. But it will eventually be added to your main page. More complete documentation and videos coming as it gets polished up.

New landing page. New subscription info page.

Adjusted ui layout. Move menu back to right corner.
changelog changelog / Jun 12 
had a some down time this morning due to Google Cloud outage -- Grug Notes along with a lot of the internet. Sorry!
changelog changelog / Jun 04 
Added a user home page to published notes.
changelog changelog / Jun 03 
Added full markdown export feature!
changelog changelog / Jun 02 
Fairly large update. Fixed a nasty caching bug that caused new prompt pages to fail. Terrible that was up for so long. Sorry!

Large update to chat. Now uses claude sonnet 4 and does longer block generations with gemini pro 2.5. Still lots to polish. But try chat on any prompt page.

Significantly optimized loading of past and future sections.

Hope to get back to more regular deploys. Development has continued, but chat/agent progress has been challenging!
changelog changelog / Apr 05 
small bug fix on block pages -- sometimes similar blocks wouldn't load

template error bug fix on published blocks
changelog changelog / Apr 02 
published/public pages now have a very basic prompt level view
changelog changelog / Mar 30 
small css updates and fixes on side bar

moved "last week" and "next week" sections back to the bottom of the columns. Added a dropdown allowing you to move the to other columns.
changelog changelog / Mar 27 
switched to noto emoji library so side bar renders consistently across platforms
changelog changelog / Mar 26 
very big ui update -- added a side bar. Removed the second search box (find/create). Added + buttons on home page to add new prompt/blocks. Each prompt is auto assigned an emoji now -- used throughout for headers and side bar. Added a favorite setting for each prompt, allows for additions to the side bar. 

There are a good number of incomplete features, and I'm sure some bugs. But didn't want to go too long without a deploy. Fixes coming.

noticed some layout shifting (double user/home link) and the date is not positioned right on Windows Chrome... not fixed yet. will fix tonight. **actually this seems to have been a caching issue. Went away...
changelog changelog / Mar 16 
we had some on and off downtime the last 24 hours -- due to ssl config related to cloudflare and google cloud run. adjustments have been made to hopefully prevent it happening in the future.
changelog changelog / Mar 15 
formatting improvements with how the chat toggles open
changelog changelog / Mar 14 
more consistent rendering of chats -- safer, more reliable handling of code, tables, etc.
changelog changelog / Mar 13 
smoother streaming of text in the chat. also better handling of rendering and code blocks in chat. 

oops, also some regressions -- broke the apply all button. Will fix tonight. *fixed
changelog changelog / Mar 12 
bug found on persistent blocks -- Quick Edit and AI/Edit still not working properly if it hasn't been updated on the current day. Not fixed yet.
changelog changelog / Mar 11 
slight improvements to chat feature. stop button added while streaming. some bug fixes. first iteration to fit on mobile screen.
changelog changelog / Mar 08 
Chat feature added to block pages. Chat uses Sonnet 3.5, agent feature uses 3.7.

Date picker added to block pages and some small ui adjustments.

Found a bug in markdown table rendering -- doesn't work with code blocks. Not fixed yet. *fixed
changelog changelog / Mar 05 
preliminary support for Markdown Tables -- including checkboxes in table cells.

adjustment to Quick Edit and audio AI/Edit prompts, improved reliablity.

small bug fix on persistent blocks -- Quick Edit and AI/Edit were not working unless it the block had been saved on the day.
changelog changelog / Mar 03 
nooo, oops I broke the subscription page. Will fix tonight. *fixed
changelog changelog / Mar 02 
small ui and formatting improvements around prompt page and chat feature.
changelog changelog / Feb 28 
fixed bug when Quick Edit fails. todo -- add notification

added placeholder explanation on quick edit, and link to chat. Needs improvement, but it's slightly better.
changelog changelog / Feb 27 
caching issue when attributes update fixed. Basically, when ai would find attributes, sometimes they didn't show up on the prompt page until a hard refresh.
changelog changelog / Feb 25 
ok, the chat feature seems to be working! i'm sure there's still bugs, lots to go. But core concept is there. Ask it to make you a workout schedule for the month! or plan anything. It's Claude 3.7 -- state of the art model in Grug Notes! It's like [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com) in your notes!

Oof google api currently broken today, causing entity/auto tagging to break -- will fix this evening. *fixed

did some old prompt updating and migrations to newer faster llms (google flash) -- nothing critical
changelog changelog / Feb 23 
pretty massive deploy
    it's an mvp version of chat with notes feature. Only available through a prompt page at the bottom right currently until I get it more polished. 
    The killer feature is ability to generate notes, great for planning just about anything.
    fixed some regressions on ai parsing attributes
changelog changelog / Jan 20 
Shipped an MVP version of Grug AI Editor. The button is at the bottom right of blocks or use ctrl-l. The prompt needs some work, but it's still useful at times! It's stateless, not a chat. Currently identical to audio ai/edit functionality, but at some point I expect it to diverge some. 

Embedding regression bugfix from OpenAI API change last week or so. Was affecting synonyms loading at times.

Bug fix where viewing revision history would block drag/drop from working after. Probably been around a while, but just noticed!
changelog changelog / Jan 16 
regression fix. oops, publishing content moderation was not working
changelog changelog / Jan 13 
published blocks are now cached on cloudflare and serverside. Both caches are invalidated on save.

regression from yesterday with ai calls from openai api update fixed
changelog changelog / Jan 12 
minimum viable implementation for block publishing
changelog changelog / Jan 08 
bug fix where enter key wouldn't create a new line, was a regression from last week
changelog changelog / Jan 06 
bug fix: title saving on new blocks fixed.
changelog changelog / Jan 01 
started using cloudflare
changelog changelog / Dec 31 
Changes to tab functionality. Now it shifts line to right with cursor anywhere. Similar to Obsidian instead of VS Code or Sublime Text. I couldn't think of an instance where you need to add four spaces in the middle of text.

Shift-tab works.

Initial deploy of a macro functionality. [] typed at beginning of a line will convert to a markdown checkbox.

Return key handles markdown checkboxes like they should now.

~~i think there is one regression, space key on mobile should tab. I’ll fix that tomorrow. ~~ *fixed 30 min later*

*30 min later* quickToggle regression fixed in ios/safari


Happy New Year!
changelog changelog / Dec 30 
added support for markdown checkboxes. as of now, don't think i'm making it a default on the quick toggle buttons...
changelog changelog / Dec 26 
bug fix -- occasional rendering error when toggling between editing and rendered state (ie clicking on and off a block)
changelog changelog / Dec 25 
added smart wrapping and the indentation indicator (vertical gray lines) to code blocks 

added language header and copy button to code blocks!
changelog changelog / Dec 24 
very basic support for code blocks implemented. Use three backticks. No code highlighting or anything fancy yet. Improvements coming. 

*later today* Code highlights via prism.js added. So nice lol.

*later later* Fixed resize issue where rendered code could overflow.
changelog changelog / Dec 17 
another major optimization for voice activity detection. like 10x faster! In practice, this shaves off about 1/10th of a second on all voice transcriptions. :)
changelog changelog / Dec 16 
voice activity detection redesigned -- should be much more reliable. less false negatives and false positives. This is a big big quality improvement.

finally tested on an android phone. Some fixes deployed last week. Lower nav bar was not showing at times...
changelog changelog / Dec 15 
adjusted some formatting in the help page. Also made a toggle for pull to refresh, so you can't refresh accidentally while the help drawer is open on mobile.
changelog changelog / Dec 13 
Significant improvements to audio and ai/edit features:
    Improved voice activity detection
    Using Gemini Flash 2.0 -- better in every way
    👉 Displays speech recognition, and spinner until it's done
    Alternations to the prompt for improved accuracy
    
👉 
Fireworks.ai added as a backup to Groq for transcription services.

Ask Grug (generative ai search) is faster, switched to Flash 1.5 from gpt4o-mini
changelog changelog / Dec 10 
menu and audio button positioning regression (from a few days ago) fixed
changelog changelog / Dec 08 
improvement in the reliability of ai/edit audio feature. Still hunting for bugs, but it's notably better.
changelog changelog / Dec 07 
cursor handling added while audio recording. Basically, cursor position should be maintained while using audio.
changelog changelog / Dec 04 
bug fix -- audio ai/edit on an empty or new unsaved block was broken
changelog changelog / Nov 12 
initial prototype of audio lock feature for longer recordings and of diarization (meeting aka multispeaker transcription). Unfortunately not sure how to solve the problem of ios/pwa falling asleep!!! https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254545
changelog changelog / Nov 09 
Crazy speed improvement on speech to text. Switched speech to text transcription api to Groq Whisper-3-large. It falls back to OpenAI api (whisper 2) which should make everything a little more reliable with that redundancy. I tried whisper-3-large-turbo, and while faster, doesn't seem quite as accurate. 

Also added voice activity detection. Basically it should prevent the random hallucination or jibberish if you submit empty audio. VAD is shockingly tricky to get right. Not absolutely sure this is right. But testing live!
changelog changelog / Nov 08 
regression fix from yesterday, affected new accounts for a few hours.

small changes to ai/edit feature. added spinning indicator.

Switched ai/edit feature to Gemini Flash model. It's just faster and seems on par with 3.5 haiku. Small bug fix in that feature too where html entities would sometimes get throw in.
changelog changelog / Nov 06 
fixed help drawer -- it didn't scroll on desktop and sometimes it was needed.

some backend adjustments and refactoring to embeddings. Don't expect any visible changes from this. 

some very subtle improvements to search

voice ai/edit feature uses claude 3.5 haiku -- much improved!
changelog changelog / Oct 21 
prompt settings button, clean up -- consistently use svg.
changelog changelog / Oct 19 
added mouse over hovers to most all the links lol. after 2 years.
changelog changelog / Oct 18 
added underscore style markdown parsing for bold and italic
changelog changelog / Oct 15 
improved the fetching code for csrf. Basically send the request sooner, so there is much less chance of a csrf error.
changelog changelog / Oct 12 
Adjusted amount of context llm gets for natural language dates prompt. Should be an improvement in accuracy.

fixed regression, prompt settings were mistakenly hidden in a quest for optimizing loading speed. :|
changelog changelog / Oct 10 
some caching bugs -- too aggressive caching. Right click on entity to change type slightly more reliable, but not quite 100%.
changelog changelog / Oct 06 
past and future sections removed from mobile screens. I never used it. More likely to use calendar to change days.

And slight adjustment on past/future layout (nothing notable, just hoping it fixes occasional layout bug).
changelog changelog / Oct 05 
more prefetching on mouseovers and click on mouse down. FASTER woo

also fixed a bug where the page would sometimes scroll with the quick toggle button on a line.
changelog changelog / Oct 04 
fixed a rendering bug on iOS when spaces would push to the next line. seriously this one was starting to drive me insane. I hope it's all fixed lol. I will never abandon the <textarea>!
changelog changelog / Sep 29 
persistent prompt pages now work -- that is the block for today is copied from the previous day it was edited, the same way it does on the home page.

persistent prompts also no longer show up on any future day pages. That doesn't make sense.
changelog changelog / Sep 28 
added ability to "add to home" for any prompt page. Each prompt page now has it's own manifest.json that allow for this.
changelog changelog / Sep 25 
If you press and hold the little button to the left of the line, it'll do the same as ctrl-shift-return, ie strike through by default. Great for mobile.
changelog changelog / Sep 24 
Minimum viable offline support. Edits are stored in local storage and cleared once synced.

Also added a very basic service worker that caches static files. Appears to load faster for those who ‘add to home’ and use on mobile.
changelog changelog / Sep 08 
error fixed on similar block feature for empty blocks. Inconsequential, but feels good to make errors in the logs go away.
changelog changelog / Sep 02 
removed any dependencies on gpt 3.5

duplicate backlinks where the context is identical are filtered to only show one -- on the home page at least.
changelog changelog / Aug 26 
added title text to block settings button

polished the copy button a little more, added quick animation on click and cleaned up the code a little.
changelog changelog / Aug 25 
minimum viable copy button added. need improvement, but seems to work.

moved save indicator and made it fade out
changelog changelog / Aug 21 
stripe/subscription sync errors fixed

subscribe banner added back to free accounts. it went missing from a template upgrade regression a while back.

django 5 to 5.1 upgrade
changelog changelog / Aug 20 
So stoked! There's been a nagging rendering error when a name or company was tagged within a url. Basically random occasions would cause crazy overlapping text during editing. Swapped anchor tag for span during edit mode. Cross our fingers, no more weirdness. It's interesting, chrome seems to treat anchor slightly different. Safari seems to do it better.
changelog changelog / Aug 19 
slight adjustment and improvement to date tagging prompt.
changelog changelog / Aug 18 
made some changes to how manifest.json is served -- now fully loaded into memory and served static, hopefully as efficiently as possible. I think it was causing a db hit and contributing to crashing during hacker news traffic.
changelog changelog / Aug 17 
csrf error fixed when on prompt page and trying to adjust block title or block settings.

super big rewrite and expansion of help/docs page. Added to menu button on computer view as well, even though it's redundant with bottom left link.
changelog changelog / Aug 14 
some huge fixes on roam import. More robust and hoping urls correctly load now after the import.
changelog changelog / Aug 13 
login with google in one click -- instead of it previously going to another page to then click again. Nice quality of life improvement.
changelog changelog / Aug 12 
bug fix for accounts with a username that started or ended with an underscore

significant fixes with roam research import tool. Handles conflicts and duplicates much better.

additional templates moved to jinja -- faster, but not much of a noticeable change.
changelog changelog / Aug 11 
small layout adjustments. Better alignment of user name and audio input button.

small fix with caching. it would take a hard refresh for a block to disappear after you delete it. Now it properly clears the cache and it goes away.

small type error in frontend fixed. don't think it was causing any issues.
changelog changelog / Aug 07 
removed unlinked blocks from datatype pages. it's not needed and saves a db query.
changelog changelog / Aug 06 
beta of roam research json import feature added to menu
changelog changelog / Aug 02 
tiny bugfix when archive is empty, error at endpoint for new accounts.
changelog changelog / Jul 29 
fixed regression where 'today' could be tagged as a natural language dates since the recent update in date parsing. In general, backlinks should not be created to the day of the note.
changelog changelog / Jul 27 
Front end bug fix, where sometimes audio buttons would be hidden on mobile after you press record.
changelog changelog / Jul 24 
bug fix -- prompts would be missing older blocks due to template mistake.

bug fix -- doesn't wig out (scroll weirdly) trying to make a selection on mobile.
changelog changelog / Jul 23 
fixed a couple javascript errors on landing page. 

switched person and company entity recognition to gpt4o-mini. search/ask is smarter! :)

some lines of code deleted that were causing ai attributes to not work, ie recognizing phone numbers on existing people wasn't reliable. Still needs work and testing.

slight adjustment to automatic date filtering in search/ask as it was sometimes falsely finding a date
changelog changelog / Jul 08 
date handling has been gutted. And largely turned over to claude 3.5 Sonnet. Seems good so far. Still some optimizing to do, but not slower and seemingly much more reliable than the rule based methods. Previously it was a combo of chatgpt 3.5 and rule based methods. But it would fail a good number of tests and was a patchwork of if statements. And got quite slow. The new method looks for any date entities on the server, and if any are found, claude is called to intelligently decide the dates.
    let me know if it fails you! [email protected]
changelog changelog / Jul 01 
currently experiencing openai api issues/rate limits. May break ai entity identification and search.
    fixed

The core ai functionality has been gutted. Date recognition is now entirely ruled based with some help from small natural language libraries to determine past or future dates. 
    many tests are good
        need more
    bad with holidays
    llm/chatgpt still responsible for tagging people and companies.
        could use additional testing
    still a lot of room for basic speed improvements

fixed funky scroll on mouse click bug
changelog changelog / Jun 24 
templating issue fixed if you had a mention on your home page

grr. weird bug on persistent blocks going blank -- just refresh and it comes back, but annoying. will investigate tonight.
    fixed a server side error (I think this was it)
        update it is not!
            but i understand the problem a little more
            caused by polling an unsaved persistent block...
                gotta love sync problems
                    fixed (I think)

css adjustment for the buttons to the left of the lines. better on mobile, same on desktop.
changelog changelog / Jun 23 
Some new front end code that helps with more natural scrolling and keeping the text within view -- both on computer and in ios. 

Typo fix on template.
changelog changelog / Jun 22 
Finally switched to newer embedding model 'text-embedding-3-large' for search functionality. Seemingly better and faster search results already, but still needs tuning.
    fixed ai breakage on new accounts caused by this ~12 hrs later

New templating backend deployed. No visible changes, but slight speed improvement, especially for more complex or long pages.
changelog changelog / Jun 19 
small bug fix in find/create prompt search. It was broken if the prompt was set to 'generate_today' but not show on this day... if that makes sense. Also now, when a block is already existing on the day, it correctly sets focus to that block. 

small bug fix -- html properly escaped on archived blocks (anything older displayed as plain text for rendering speed)
changelog changelog / Jun 17 
Search and similar prompts features fixed from the Pinecone vector database issues.
changelog changelog / Jun 16 
Vector database service Pinecone is down as their service has gone through some breaking changes. Will take 1-2 days to update. Sorry! This means search is failing and similar prompts. :(
changelog changelog / Jun 06 
on a prompt page, blocks were listed first, then backlinks. Now they are listed mixed together in order of original block date. Works, but still needs ui and speed optimizations.
changelog changelog / May 30 
fixed a caching bug. if you delete a block on the main home page, the cache now correctly clears. For the past few weeks, it would appear to no be deleted until a full refresh or something else changed.
changelog changelog / May 27 
fixed the crazy bug from yesterday where new line or lines added at the start of an existing note would not save. Weirdest thing ever. Browser would seem to remove new lines unless the html started with a new line.

Basically my template needed to be 

<textarea>
text</textarea>

instead of:
<textarea>text</textarea>

crazy right?
changelog changelog / May 26 
new model and prompt deployed for ai/edit voice editing feature. Uses full context of the note -- it's a lot better, but I'm sure it's not perfect. 

Also found a crazy bug where a new line added to the start of an existing note doesn't save. Like wut -- need investigation asap.
changelog changelog / May 25 
Updated copy on landing page.

Small adjustment on revision history so the text is selectable.
changelog changelog / May 20 
brotli added back to landing page
changelog changelog / May 18 
bug fix with similar prompts feature that would cause them to never load -- I think related to django upgrade some weeks back.
changelog changelog / May 17 
More major issues fixed for usernames with capital letters in it. Future, Past, Archive may not have been loading and search issues as well. Grug take long time! But work now. 

Some backend updates. Switched PyMYSQL to mysqlclient. Not sure if it makes a speed difference, but I'd like to think it's an improvement. Also laid groundwork for websockets if needed, though note used for anything yet.
changelog changelog / Apr 20 
Ooof, fixed a csrf error on audio recording -- partially broken since april 7th.
changelog changelog / Apr 17 
fixed a few endpoints that were no longer getting compressed due to yesterdays upgrades.
changelog changelog / Apr 16 
first deploy migrating from Django 3.2 to 5! and gunicorn to uvicorn server! Welcome to modern web dev Grug.

We have server sent events -- it means slightly better device sync. You can try type in the same note on two different devices. 

This was a massive deploy. Hopefully nothing fundamentally broken, but Grug watch closely. 😅 Door open for many more improvements. 🤗
changelog changelog / Apr 08 
fixed drag and drop blocks that were broken last week from revision history update...
changelog changelog / Apr 07 
More aggressive caching on home, usually clearing cache on write. Shooting for sub 100ms server response. 

Actually, there were like 4-6 deploys today with various bugfixes of the caching.
changelog changelog / Apr 05 
A bunch more orm/sql query optimizations. Less queries on load. And a couple indexes added. And importantly pretty significant improvement on save function. SPEED! yay.

Some adjustments to html to improve load speed.
changelog changelog / Apr 04 
A few small and subtle query optimizations. Very small speed improvement.
changelog changelog / Apr 03 
Minor adjustments to caching so stale data is avoided.

Better handling of pasted text and auto adjusting the textarea height.
changelog changelog / Apr 02 
Speed update! Better preloading and some initial client side caching. Little snappier responses. 😍 wondering what I broke 😅🤓
changelog changelog / Apr 01 
minimum implementation of edit 'revision history' for each block deployed. Needs work and needs diff formating still. Not functional on mobile yet, but soon!
changelog changelog / Mar 26 
Small bug fix and reliability improvement to search/ask. 

Alteration and hopefully improve to how known entities are relied on vs chatgpt entity recognition. 

I'm sparse on details here, but changes deployed to production! :)
changelog changelog / Mar 24 
A bunch of backend work on how backlinks are saved. Backlinks now have a creation date that will persist through saves and minor changes. 
    It's not much of a big deal right now, but I'm hoping it can provide some additional context in the future, to help identify stale tasks for example.

Backlinks are copied to new days on persistent blocks.

Persistent blocks remove lines that are strikethroughed out the next day. That is, if the line is surrounded by ~~, it gets deleted.
    Will be adding this as a user setting soon.

Small front end rendering fix.
changelog changelog / Mar 03 
oh man, fixed a bad bug. Tags from hashtags and brackets were not properly creating backlinks for a while. 

Shaved 6 queries off the home screen load. Probably not a noticeable speed difference, but it brings joy to my heart.
changelog changelog / Mar 02 
Encoding issues kinda fixed with latest version of chrome. Everything was rendering as symbols. Now seems ok.
changelog changelog / Feb 25 
Made the headers sticky on the datatype pages.
changelog changelog / Feb 23 
such a dumb bug to last this long. Capital letters in usernames no longer break urls.
changelog changelog / Feb 21 
right clicking on the quick toggle button does the equivalent of ctrl-shift-return -- the default being markdown strike through around the line. Already found a cursor positioning bug, will fix later this week lol.
changelog changelog / Feb 16 
Sorry! there was a major bug since mid january that made natural language dates no longer link -- or actually they were linked, but it wasn't visible on that day. It should be fixed now.
changelog changelog / Jan 22 
Right clicking on a link brings up a context menu that allows changing the datatype. Minimum viable features!
    Most useful if AI gets it wrong. 
    Also allows creating autotags. 
    Needs to be in view mode, it doesn't make sense in edit mode.
    
    Unlinked mentions or backlinks are show at the bottom of prompt pages. WIP.
    
    There are still some edge cases and bugs related to these features!
changelog changelog / Jan 15 
Added Inter and Roboto as fonts.
changelog changelog / Jan 14 
one line bug fix to prevent possible creation of two unique blocks within the same prompt and date. Which should be only possible if you set a title. In this case, the path was created with a timestamp which shouldn't be possible.
changelog changelog / Jan 06 
small bug fix where ai tags could occur within existing manual links or urls
changelog changelog / Jan 04 
fixed a diff match patch error that caused some sync errors around emoji.
changelog changelog / Dec 31 
First deploy of quick toggle ui feature that adds the ctrl-return shortcut as a clickable feature on desktop and on mobile.
changelog changelog / Dec 26 
drag handles moved to top of blocks
changelog changelog / Dec 24 
Fixed some formatting issues from dark design update, probably a dozen or so little tweaks.

Fixed some issues on date views where 'persistent blocks' wouldn't display.
changelog changelog / Dec 23 
Darker, but cleaner design deployed. 

Smaller text on mobile.
changelog changelog / Dec 13 
fixed a bug. If two browsers or devices were open. And the block was brand new, ie never saved, typing in one would not sync to the other with out a refresh. Now it should.
changelog changelog / Dec 10 
Some tests written, and non-visible improvements/bugfixes to sync. Chasing one last bug where you would lose a few words on save. Grug saw maybe 3x a month. Grug think we got it! But needs battle testing.

Slight alteration to speech to text ai/edit prompt. Handles some situations a little more consistently.

UnboundLocalError on search bug fix. Small font change to make date and prompt filtering more obvious during search.
changelog changelog / Dec 02 
small ui updates, replaced some emoji with svg

started work on save history ui, incomplete
changelog changelog / Nov 30 
small bug fix on prompt settings form where the textarea formatting was bad
changelog changelog / Nov 29 
implemented 'generate on days'
changelog changelog / Nov 27 
Changed favicons & app icons to new logo.

Draft privacy and terms are online.

Made 👉, ✅ default as autotags on new accounts.
changelog changelog / Nov 25 
Some optimizations to javascript and stopped loading the archive at bottom of the page on mobile only. It was causing performance issues.

added semantically similar blocks on individual block pages. minimum viable feature. not sure how useful yet.
changelog changelog / Nov 22 
some small formatting adjustments with new logo

fixed on window resize bug where the textarea would not correctly size

fixed some type error bugs in search

fixed formatting on password reset page
changelog changelog / Nov 21 
landing page update and logo change!
changelog changelog / Nov 04 
First deploy with autotags implemented.
changelog changelog / Oct 30 
Fixed bug introduced on oct 22 where speech to search and speech to find broke. :|
changelog changelog / Oct 22 
Added links to the day headings under "past" and "future". Changed the permalink style from an anchor emoji to / Mon xx. It's a little weird, but I think I like it better than the emoji. Maybe I'll consider a lone #, we used to do that for permalinks in the old web.

Blocks are unique by the url now. The improvement here is that there can be more than one block in the same prompt on the same day -- if one is given a 'title'. Basically this makes it function like a wiki much more effectively. More work to be done.

It's now possible to create a prompt with only an emoji or with emoji's in it. It will convert to a text string that works in the url. However, it was mainly a bug fix and it only works in the backend. More work to be done on the front end to make it a functional feature. #TODO
changelog changelog / Oct 21 
Another improvement on block ordering -- new blocks created are always appended in whatever column the prompt last had or default to column 3. The vertical row ordering is unique to each day. Column is universal or at the prompt level.

Fixed funky ios bug where links would need to be touched twice before they would go... 

iOS devices no longer tres to focus on loading -- since they keyboard can't come out because that's the way iOS works. But at least now, links and stuff on Daily Notes or wherever work on loading.

bug fix -- block pages would break if the prompt didn't exist yet.
changelog changelog / Oct 14 
found another sync bug! But also may have fixed it today. Added another check to prevent duplicate requests. Optimistic this helps a great deal.

increase the clickable area by 5px around AI generated tag/links. Nice ui improvement!
changelog changelog / Oct 13 
improved audio record button response speed after you get microphone permission from the user. The trick was removing noice cancelation and auto gain things from MediaRecorder set up. Whisper speech to text is so good, don't think it matters there will be no on device noise reduction.
changelog changelog / Oct 12 
fixed some accessibility things, and increase contrast for a lot of the ui
changelog changelog / Oct 09 
some refactoring work on sync. Reduced extra sync requests by slight bit. And now server responds with correct hash when a block doesn't exist. There is/was a bug here where sometimes server would overwrite user that happens to me 1-2x a month. Would lose a few words perhaps from seconds ago. This might fix -- but yet to confirm. :|
changelog changelog / Oct 07 
few hours focusing on speed -- major one is deferring all javascript. Much improved loading speed. Small improvements and error fixes.
changelog changelog / Oct 06 
fixed a bug where past & future were not formatting correctly on load
changelog changelog / Oct 05 
fixed bug where search/ask would break when extra spaces were present
changelog changelog / Oct 02 
first deploy of ai/edit via audio feature. Experimental... but cool!

bug fix: adding a prompt to automatic speech recognition from the prompt's settings caused an error.

bug fix: legacy code on settings page caused an error when changing automatic speech recognition settings
changelog changelog / Sep 29 
improved positioning of past and future sections at 2 column width
changelog changelog / Sep 26 
small error bug fix where the entity recognition wouldn't work right away, it would take a refresh or two, on new accounts.
changelog changelog / Sep 25 
a new user created a username with a space, and it broke the account. Fixed the validation bug.
changelog changelog / Sep 24 
fixed a formatting issue where column 2 (daily notes usually) would overlap today's mentions
changelog changelog / Sep 23 
it shouldn't matter much in daily use, but refactored and improved caching of embeddings -- basically more efficient :)

very low chance, but also made sure no possibility of duplicates in "similar prompts" on prompt pages.
changelog changelog / Sep 18 
removed all the prompt settings from the settings page. There is no real need since prompts are drag and drop sortable now.

increase contrast on block and prompt settings. 

Removed a click by direct linking to prompt settings from block settings. Not great, but an improvement.
changelog changelog / Sep 17 
Improved ordering of blocks when it transitions to 2 col and 1 column from 3.
changelog changelog / Sep 16 
Better word wrapping, and fixed a rendering error with long words. We no longer break-words. Just wrap on overflow.

Little bit of javascript refactoring. Fixed the padding/height being too short issue when the page is first loaded.
changelog changelog / Sep 15 
little javascript refactor, fixed a bug that was calling ai endpoint twice!!!
changelog changelog / Sep 14 
Finally implemented drag and drop moving of blocks. This changes the column and ordering at the 'prompt' level so the view will be the same on any day.
changelog changelog / Sep 13 
Did some refactoring of some llm prompts and test code to make converting singular/plural prompt names more robust. Mostly not noticeable, but feels good to get done!
changelog changelog / Sep 12 
some ui fixes when there is a pop-over style thing, ie search. Fades out properly and no more pointer affecting things in the background issues.
changelog changelog / Sep 09 
Some small rendering error bugs fixed when there's punctuation around natural language dates.

Also fixed rendering error where inline style wasn't removed correctly on focus out. Surfaced as overlapping text.

Slight ui improvements on speech to text. On desktop, trigger to get microphone access requires 100 ms mouse over, hopefully fewer accidental triggers. On mobile, got initialization response a little faster -- ie nicer to use.
changelog changelog / Sep 08 
small ui changes -- home button added at bottom left on mobile. Help button moved to menu.

wider table widths on prompt pages for attributes
changelog changelog / Aug 28 
bunch of small bug fixes w/css and ui. Moved the signup link to be at bottom.

Fixed pull to refresh -- as it was doing it anywhere on the page.

Adjusted css, so textareas don't interrupt scrolling

Can now have prompt level keywords for speech to text.
changelog changelog / Aug 27 
deployed mvp of speech to text. This took a while, and did quite a bit of experimentation.
changelog changelog / Aug 13 
Cursor placement with multiuser editing is getting pretty good. Patches should get applied and the cursor or selection does the right thing.
changelog changelog / Aug 07 
Small update to search prompts to consider todays
changelog changelog / Aug 06 
Added a web manifest, so "add to home" runs as a progressive web app -- meaning the url bar is dropped and it loads from cache more instantly. This is possible now that there is sync functionality. HOWEVER, there is no offline support yet -- but the path is closer.

Some small ui improvements and ui bug fixes with that, more to come.
changelog changelog / Aug 04 
more work on sync. A few bug fixes so that things should converge between all clients.
changelog changelog / Aug 02 
More work on sync -- made a pretty significant change. Let's call it *semi realtime sync*. It's not google docs level collaborative, but updates do happen and things mostly converge. Using differential sync. For Grug purposes, it does the job -- and creates a path towards multiuser notebooks and tracking changes over time.
    still an mvp feature
    still need to match cursor position when updates happen
    some odd things happen if actually trying to edit exactly at the same time, but this is very much not typical use case.
changelog changelog / Jul 14 
improved sync. some changes to optimistic locking. Should see far less false errors
changelog changelog / Jul 13 
changed the css technique on underlines (uses border now) for ai links -- this was a major source of rendering errors.

improved front end -- fixed some rendering errors on resize and refactored code to be more efficient
changelog changelog / Jul 04 
fixed a front end error that came up from hidden characters
changelog changelog / Jun 29 
fix some breakages from open ai updates

change to optimistic locking. No longer relies strictly on the last modified for the locking, but an integer. This should fix the occasional out of sync error that would occur when saves would happen back to back and htmx hadn't return the server last modified time. The save count is updated on the front end, so it should stay in sync and only go out of sync if another client updates it.
changelog changelog / Jun 25 
On prompt pages, the data fields will update after ai is called. So the page feels live. :)
changelog changelog / Jun 24 
search will now redirect to the 'date' view if you only type in a date. Things like aug 5, tomorrow, monday, a year from now, etc should all go direct to that page. 

fixed bug, find/create will add block to the date of the datepage it's currently on, instead of always today
changelog changelog / Jun 18 
ctrl-shift return keyboard shortcut for wrapping a line with ~~ or other characters. First version. Needs work to apply to selections.
changelog changelog / Jun 17 
ui improvements, better menu and datatype link formatting for both desktop and mobile. Started using alpine js...

made subscriptions page visible in menu

added ctrl-k short cut to move cursor to search and then find/create prompt and back to default focus if it a third time

bug fix on find/create prompt where search results wouldn't disappear after hitting enter.
changelog changelog / Jun 10 
Implemented a simple warning when block length is over 3000 tokens. When getting primary entities, text will be truncated after 3200 tokens. Previously was not handled at all. #WIP
changelog changelog / Jun 03 
Updated the intro text on first login.
changelog changelog / Jun 02 
Fixed some more issues related to persistent prompts. When an empty persistent prompt was created, the main page would crash without an existing block.

Fixed auto-focus on settings page.

When creating a prompt from a data type page, the data type is set with more "confidence" so it will be recognized.
changelog changelog / Jun 01 
Fixed a bug or two related issues with "persistent" prompts. It was a significant problem with the Scratch Pad default!!!
    Deleting all notes would result in save failure. Fixed.
    Also removed some old behavior where persistent blocks would get copied to tomorrow.
        Now it should always copy from the past to today.
changelog changelog / May 30 
some small improvements on mobile search formatting. Better, not great yet.
changelog changelog / May 29 
better handling of llm mistakes and manual overrides of entities

bunch of database optimizations

htmx preload! faster.
changelog changelog / May 26 
search fix where natural language dates were not selecting local timezone.
changelog changelog / May 25 
rewrote landing page with updated copy

bug fix on login where settings and sign out links would not show due to timezone issue
changelog changelog / May 16 
made search on prompt pages filter to that prompt only
changelog changelog / May 07 
search/ask grug... mvp feature deployed. This one took a while. Chatgpt based only when you ask a question. All the rest of the time, it presents semantic and keywords search results. When there is one clear best result, it'll be presented up top.
changelog changelog / Apr 29 
some corrections to natural language dates. fixed things like this past wednesday. before it was putting that as next week.
changelog changelog / Apr 08 
small front end bug fix where tags were still highlighted within a longer word. "Action" within extraction for example.
changelog changelog / Apr 02 
backend changes with ai prompts to use json instead of custom formatting. aiming to be a little more robust on random output from llm.
changelog changelog / Mar 31 
css improvements for mobile
    datatypes at bottom of screen
fomatting fixes on block view
bug fix where some blocks weren't show in archive. specifically where the prompt had setting generate in past checked.
changelog changelog / Mar 28 
fixed tiny front end bug where prompts got replaced with prompt capitalizations. So lower case company, might get capitalized and cause a rendering error.
changelog changelog / Mar 25 
pretty major deploy! major backend changes
    chatgpt api, makes costs manageable!
        and a lot faster!
    known entities are tagged from database!
        this major, helps ai perform better as well
    quite a few tweaks and improvements on the front end with tag highlighting
        less filter conflicts, as text is tokenized so we can manage the chaos better
            no double tagging -- longer tags go first
    a lot of refactoring
changelog changelog / Mar 20 
broke the date display in yesterdays deploy. fixed.

on mobile -- made it so the space key tabs in when it's white space before the cursor. seems to work! best feature ever!
changelog changelog / Mar 19 
removed auto login/signup form, replaced with a simpler login form. Should fix any password manager issues, and prevent accidental account creation.
changelog changelog / Mar 18 
partial rewrite of filters/rendering front end. Fixes many rendering bugs when tags would interfere with each other. Text is tokenized before tags are highlighted to prevent html from getting jammed up.
