Justin and I are thrilled to announce that the LegendKeeper team has added a new core member: Adam Waselnuk (@wazels on Discord, and the founder of https://swordandsource.ca) has joined us full-time to accelerate the roadmap and help make sure LegendKeeper stays around for many years to come. I know this was our $14K pledge goal, but hey... Early and under-bud...
2021-08-06 14:14:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! It's been quiet so I thought I'd just give a little update. I'm currently working on LegendKeeper's editor; it's the main source of bugs and jank right now, so it's about time it was polished up. I'm pleased with the progress so far. The new editor will:
* Have a nicer UI/UX overall
* Enable dragging and dropping blocks of content.
* Enable easier converting blocks of content to new pages.
* Enable easier addition of content between blocks.
* A treasur...
2021-07-19 16:34:06 +0000 UTC View Post* Hidden pages should no longer be shown in subpage index to users who shouldn't be able to see them.
Hey folks! I'm currently on a working vacation in Colorado, my first "vacation" in a very long time, so expect things to be little bit slower this week. I took a full day off on Monday, and when I sat down to work yesterday, I realized the battery in my laptop was swollen. I spent all day running around trying to get it fixed. 😫The solution ended up being... just ignore it until I ge...

2021-06-25 19:17:09 +0000 UTC View Post* Text is now left-aligned by default, rather than justified. Manual text alignment settings coming in next major patch with editor upgrade.
* Various bug and crash fixes
FYI, I'm aware of the issue with the hover previews showing up behind stuff when a Mention is inside of a info block or table. Currently working on it; it's a little tricky. It may have to wait until editor upgrade, which is the major thing I'm currently working on.
2021-06-24 18:10:08 +0000 UTC View PostSince Hydra launched, my main focus has been platform stability and quality of service. The past weeks I've been fixing bugs, and improving our error tracking infrastructure so that I can more easily find, diagnose, and remedy more bugs on my side of things. Today's update should help me a lot with catching a lot of the smaller, sporadic bugs in the LK client.
Now that I'm out of crisis mode from Hydra launch, I figured it'd be good to give a blurb on my current development plans. ...
2021-06-22 01:39:02 +0000 UTC View Post* Fixed bug preventing secrets from being deleted while a member is viewing the page the secret is hidden in.
2021-06-17 21:32:40 +0000 UTC View Post* Tab reordering. You can now move tabs left and right via the context menu. This is not an ideal method; drag & drop support will come for this, but this was a quick way to get the functionality into the app so that folks aren't stuck with their tab order.
* Tab overflow controls. Tabs now display scroll buttons when they overflow their container. Again, a...
2021-06-15 01:34:54 +0000 UTC View Post* Fix bug that causes wiki tree to crash/blank screen on dragging some items. (Some small action required if this is happening to you.)
If you have wiki pages that cause a blank screen or crash when you drag them, you'll need to sort the parent folder. This will reset any bugged position values; from there you should be able to drag those pages again.
You can sort the parent folder by right clicking and selecting the sort option. Sorry if this resets some of your manual positions....
2021-06-11 18:02:26 +0000 UTC View Post* Fix bug causing create dialog to get stuck on image pin setting.
2021-06-10 21:15:05 +0000 UTC View Post* Fix some link and button styling. (Whoops, that broke embedded hyperlink styling. Shift+Refresh to fix it.)
* Fix bug preventing chaining of hover previews
2021-06-09 02:46:58 +0000 UTC View Post* Improve synchronization procedure
* Detect project shortcuts in undefined state and auto-repair
* Use different method for storing project shortcuts.
* Auto-linker now supports diacritics and diacritic-normalization. (i.e., "Espana" wil match and suggest "España" )
* Page selector fields now support diacritics and diacritic-normalization.
* Search results now act like hyperlinks again (support right click, open in new tab, etc)
* Fix bug preventing...
2021-06-07 23:30:28 +0000 UTC View Post* Fix race condition causing pages made via duplicate or template to not sync their text content until directly edited. Once they were edited once or twice, they then re-synced, so the impact scope of this bug was hopefully low.
Hey folks, tonight I discovered a bug that impacted pages created via templates or duplication after May 31, 2021 at 12:17:03 AM CDT, when the bug was introduced. Luckily, this usually fixed itself shortly after occurring, but I di...
2021-06-06 07:02:18 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks;
Discovered an issue with templates; they are currently bugged; please don't use them. I'll get a fix out for it as soon as I can.
If you have created any pages via templates, I encourage you to export/copy paste them outside of Legendkeeper to preserve their content. They will likely be okay, but I just wanna make sure your stuff is safe while I'm fixing this.
To clarify, this bug affects wiki pages made *after* the Hydra update ...
2021-06-06 00:02:50 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been nothing but bugfixes lately, so I figured it'd be fun to throw in a little something new.
* Custom image pins. You can now use images from your asset library as pin images. Animated GIFs work, as well. Small, square, transparent images work best. I'll be adding sizing controls in the future; right now they are locked to 80x80. I've found that icons available on the Unity or Unreal Engine asset store, intended for game development, work great for RPG map icons....
2021-06-04 21:41:24 +0000 UTC View Post* Windows, tabs now refresh if another window or tab upgrades or deletes the database.
* Harm reduction: In some cases, the client silently loses connection to the browser database. Seemingly related to this issue. Rather than allow the browser to continue to operate in this bad state, it will now throw up an annoying error message and force a refresh. I'm working on making the recovery process non...
2021-06-02 21:28:35 +0000 UTC View Post* You should have less issues with images that rendered off screen failing to load.
2021-06-02 01:53:47 +0000 UTC View Post* Fix permission overrides; more specific permissions (i.e. per user) should always override role ("Member") permissions.
* Fixed some permissions bugs when switching between projects.
* A dialog is now shown for "first-time sync". I realize it can be scary looking at a big empty project when syncing it from zero; i.e. on a new browser or after a cache clear. Now we show a big "downloading project" dialog during this to eliminate any confusion.
* LK now uses more clues from ...
2021-06-01 21:14:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello, LK is experiencing an outage. Working on it
2021-05-31 18:51:05 +0000 UTC View Post* Fixed small bug in offline sync code.
2021-05-31 05:23:00 +0000 UTC View PostPer https://www.patreon.com/posts/legendkeeper-0-9-51860105, LegendKeeper now prohibits connections from clients with versions less than 0.9.0.5. If you are on a version less than 0.9.0.5, (found in the bottom right question mark menu), close all other instances of LK and shift + refresh to force update.
2021-05-30 17:37:18 +0000 UTC View Post* LK Client now sends version number along with connection handshake.
TL;DR: Tiny change in preparation for a larger one tomorrow, but requires some context. Starting tomorrow, I will be forbidding connections from clients that do not send their version number (i.e., any LK clients that aren't 0.9.0.5). So you might get the "Offline" cloud icon until you get the update prompt or close all instances of LK and shift+refresh your browser. Justification below. 2021-05-30 05:25:16 +0000 UTC View Post

LegendKeeper's largest update ever, Hydra, aims to make LegendKeeper the world's most creator-friendly worldbuilding app. I'm excited to present it to you!
LegendKeeper will automatically download the new update, and then prompt you to refresh in order to apply it. After that, you will see ...
2021-05-25 21:46:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Giving the Hydra launch another shot tomorrow. I'll be running another round of final checks tomorrow morning, and then will launch after that if everything looks good. Patch notes coming shortly after launch.
Expect some instability!

Allo! You may have received an email on Saturday regarding the Hydra (0.9) launch. I quietly launched Hydra on Saturday morning and monitored it for a while to make sure everything was good. Everything was looking amazing! (TOO amazing) Later that evening I posted the launch announcement post, but moments after I hit "Publish", I found a very subtle but critical issue with the update and had to roll it back. 😫
Sorry for the confusion! LegendKeeper is still running 0.8 for now. I've f...
2021-05-17 15:11:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks; I've had a few reports of the LK login page being blocked as a "phishing" risk by Avast Anti-virus. I've reported this false positive to both Avast, and Google, the hosting provider for the login domain.
While this is being sorted out, you can take a few steps in the meantime: You can stop using Avast because it's far past its prime ;P. But, my less stubborn advice would be to use Avast's whitelist feature to whitelist auth.legendkeeper.com, our login domain. 2021-05-03 21:57:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey folks! This is a progress update for "Hydra" , an upcoming upgrade for LegendKeeper that adds offline support, and a number of bugfixes and UI updates.
I've solved the main backend issues that caused Hydra to be postponed from its initial launch. The new backend is an absolute monster and should be able to handle whatever we throw at it.
The largest remaining problem is that large (500+ pages) projects take a long time to sync from zero. I.e., if you reset your local cli...
