- Page paths are now shown during search and page selection.
Sorry this took so long to fix! This should make identifying your pages in context much easier.
Friendly Billing Reminder
Hey folks who are still pledged! Friendly reminder that if you switched to the new billing system, you'll need to unpledge from Patreon manually, as we can't do it for you.
You are welcome to maintain a pledge here if you want to just throw extra cash at us, but all future correspondence for LK will be posted on our blog in addition to this Patreon, so you won't miss out on anything.

Hey folks! Just wanted to give a wee update on the Patreon billing migration. Nearly 50% of people have switched over to LegendKeeper's new billing system and claimed their lifetime $5/mo price! Thank you so much!
Migration progress:
As a reminder, everyone who's ever pledged on Patreon gets a lifetime discounted price of $5/mo or $54/year for LegendKeeper. The discount o...

- LegendKeeper's home screen now has an announcements section!
- You can now preview announcements, blog posts, and the changelog right in the app.
- Wired up the mailing lists to our announcement system, so Changelog subscribers should see this in their email, as well! I hope it works! :)
LK Hotfix: Patron discount on checkout screen
Hey Squad! I know several of you were seeing the Patron discount in the app, but then it disappeared when you actually opened the checkout screen. I've deployed a serverside fix that attempts to remedy this.
Give it another shot and let me know if that works!
P.S. If you aren't seeing the discount anywhere, then that just means the discount isn't properly linked to your account. Hit me up with a support ticket at 2022-02-05 20:35:34 +0000 UTC View Post
LK Weekly: Beyond Billing
Thanks to your incredible support, we have now seen 33% of our patrons move their billing details into our new system. With our recent rollout of direct debit payments for Europe, this number is continuing to increase every day 🎉
The speed of adoption has been fantastic! We are forever grateful for your support throughout this difficult change. For those who have...
2022-02-04 22:13:07 +0000 UTC View PostLegendKeeper now supports SEPA/IBAN payments for our EU users.
Make sure you're using LegendKeeper 0.11.2.0. Shift + Refresh if your client still has an older version. If your Patron discount doesn't show up immediately, you are probably on an older version of the client.
Hey folks, we've been listening to your feedback regarding payment methods. Adding payment integrations is a huge effort, but one of the fastest things we could do is enable SEPA Direct Debit with Stripe, our payment provider. This allows users in the EU to pay us...

* Switched email provider to something faster and more reliable.
* Increase login code lifetime by a few minutes. This shouldn't be necessary with the new provider, but just in case.
* Added SEPA direct debit / IBAN payment method for EU users. Will announce this more formally tomorrow when y'all are awake :P
* Fixed bug causing autolink to crash when any page was named empty string "".
* Added a couple new validation rules to Boards' auto-repair system.

Hey folks, Braden here! It's been a day so I wanted to just give a quick update and answer some common questions about the billing migration. First off, thanks to everyone for helping this be a smooth process! Hundreds of you have switched over already, which is a huge help to us. I really appreciate it!

Action Required: LegendKeeper is moving off of Patreon.
Hey Patrons, Braden here! We've officially started our migration off of Patreon.
We're asking that you move your billing details from Patreon to LK's new in-house system.
When you update your LegendKeeper client to 0.11.1.0, you should see a little prompt on your LK home screen to add your billing information.
As mentioned in a previous post, we'd like to offer a lifetime discounted price to all current and former patrons: $5 a month...

- Replaced login code word list with something more curated.
- Fixed pre-Hydra migration detection. A typo was messing with a date check, causing users with projects from 2020 not getting prompted to migrate to Hydra.
- Some changes to server-side email notification settings.
Next up, I'm (Braden) finishing up work on the Patron migration code. I cannot wait to finish this billing stuff. I really want to get back to working on product improvement...
2022-01-25 17:07:08 +0000 UTC View PostLK Weekly: A better deal for patrons
After the launch of our Open Beta last week, it was time to dig into the hard stuff - designing a process for migrating off of Patreon and onto a new billing system. We'll be honest: this is stressful. Our patrons are the lifeblood of LegendKeeper. Without your support during this critical time, we can't bring LegendKeeper to the level we want it to be.
Braden and Adam got together on Monday and took a hard l...

LK Weekly: Graduating!
Hey folks, sorry for blowing up your inboxes this week. As you've probably heard, we've launched our open beta, with the most significant change being a 14-day free trial for new users.
We've been wanting to do this for a while, for a few reasons. While Patreon has been great for building our community, users interested in LegendKeeper had to jump through a ton of hoops (10 hoops--we counted) just to try out LK. With the addition of the trial, we've lowered that to just 2-3 hoops ...
2022-01-14 21:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostLegendKeeper is now free to try; welcome to open beta!
Heyo! Big changes today! The LegendKeeper closed beta has concluded, and the open beta has begun! (If you are a patron or former patron reading this; you don't need to do anything right now. We will provide specific instructions for migrating from Patreon in the near future.)
For the last 3 years, LegendKeeper has evolved from a small side-project into a pile of creative tools for Game Masters and Worldbuilders. Our journey so far has been made possible...
2022-01-13 21:19:33 +0000 UTC View PostLegendKeeper 0.11.0.0
This patch modifies LK's infrastructure to support our switch from closed to open beta.
If you already have an account through Patreon (i.e., you have an account created before today) these changes don't apply to you. No action is required.
We'll be providing a migration path for Patreon users and our price guarantee plan in the coming weeks. This post covers more of the t...
2022-01-13 20:54:05 +0000 UTC View PostLK Weekly: Preparing for scale
This week Adam got back from Xmas holiday and had a light week dusting off his brain and his desk, Braden pushed forwards a new billing system (with a short interruption from Bloated Boards), and Justin slacked us some elegant interface mockups for billing management.

As we mentioned last time, we are working on a way for people to more easily start using LegendKeeper. This is an essential step in our business to encourage the growth we need t...

* Fixed bug causing jank when using drag & drop to reorder sidebar items.
2022-01-06 22:49:53 +0000 UTC View PostLegendKeeper 0.10.0.5: Important fix for Boards
Patch Notes:
* Improved load time and disk-size accumulation for boards.
If you've been experiencing long first-load times for boards, this fix will be of interest to you. The quick-and-dirty method that LK used for saving Boards pre-0.10.0.5 causes redundant data to get saved over and over, bloating a board's file with every edit.
The new saving method in 0.10.0.5 results in smaller Board sizes and a slower increase in load time ...
2022-01-06 17:57:32 +0000 UTC View PostLegendKeeper 0.10.0.4
Fixed a couple regression bugs caused by the larger changes in the last patch!
* Recently selected icons now properly show up in the icon picker.
* Arrow labels on Boards are now saved properly.
LegendKeeper 0.10.0.3
* Moved board processing to worker thread. You should experience less UI hitching when opening a board for the first time. I'm still working on a loading indicator for a board that's being parsed; sometimes they can take a second to appear the first time. I know that can be scary 😅.
* Board data is now auto-validated (and repaired, if necessary) when a board is first opened. The validator still hasn't captured all the ways a board can be corrupted, so there's still work to be done he...

Hey squad!
Sorry for the multiple pings in one day; just wanted to call attention to an ongoing issue. Looks like images are struggling to load in some contexts in LegendKeeper. Our hosting provider for images, Amazon Web Services, is having some kind of outage.
Some images that are cached should work fine, though dynamically resized images may fail to show up. I'll keep you updated as I know more!
It figures this would happen the day we launch an image-heavy feature.....

* Fixed bug causing inter-tab location memory to stop working. Your wiki, atlas, and boards tab should remember their locations again if you navigate away.
Thanks for all the love (and bug reports) flowing in for the new Boards feature! It may take me a bit to respond; we are swamped with feedback! 🐞 I'm hacking away at bugs!
