LegendKeeper 0.7.14: Optimized search queries, upcoming changes to hidden state.

* Fixed super-slow search queries, specifically "Link an existing article" search. Large projects with thousands of potential search matches were taking over 15 seconds in some worst-case scenarios. Brought that down to worst-case 300ms or so.

Warning: 

When @-mentions link to hidden or non-permitted articles, they've previously shown "???" to users who can't see the article. A future update will change this behavior to showing the name of the hidden article (but still not ...

LegendKeeper 0.7.13: New pin shapes

Cheeky li'l update. New pin shapes for your enjoyment--circle and arch/doorway. The hover animation for flag now centers at the bottom of the flagpole.

LegendKeeper 0.7.12 and a sneak peek at LK Community

LegendKeeper 0.7.11: Hidden tabs, map navigation mode

* Project admins can now hide tabs, preventing access by Members. Use this for DM Notes, stats, and whatever else you can think of. 

* Hold shift on the atlas screen to enter map navigation mode. While shift is held, the map only shows pins that link to maps. If you click a pin while holding down shift, you'll instantly navigate to the clicked pin's map.

Upcoming Twitch stream

Hello everyone! We had so much fun doing a Twitch stream a few weeks ago that we've decided to do it again!

Join David from High Shelf Gaming, Anto from Icarus Games, author Patrick Kanouse, and myself again on Friday at 8pm Eastern at twitch.tv/highshelfgaming . This will be a discussion on various topics in worldbuilding and RPGs. Come say hello, ask questions, and share your experiences. :D

LegendKeeper 0.7.10

EDIT: You might've experienced a hiccup from this update. LK has grown enough to where I probably can't push updates in the middle of primetime activity like this anymore. It's a new era :O

Low key update today focusing on cleanup and performance improvements.

* Dark mode is default, for real this time. Go to your settings in the bottom left of the screen to change back to light mode.

* Replace third-party full-page layout manager (resizable sidebar + content body) with ligh...

LegendKeeper 0.7.9: Article sorting, image resizing, ephemeral version history, bug fixes

 * You can now sort sub-articles alphanumerically. Keep in mind this is not just a presentational sort; this is changing the canonical order of the articles. 

* A bug prevented embedded images from being smaller than 320px. This bug has been remedied; you can now size images nearly as small as you like.

LegendKeeper 0.7.8

Hi folks! Got a small update today. 

* New color family: magenta!

* New default avatars and avatar picker. We thought the gray initials were boring, so we  spiced things up a bit. 

* New pin context menu controls for hidden states. LK's whole "hidden" st...

For those of you that missed last night's stream!

Link attached. Enjoyed chatting and ideating with David (High Shelf Gaming), Anto (Icarus Games, and Patrick (2 Brothers Gaming).

Patreon Exclusive: LegendKeeper deep-dive with Adam Waselnuk

Hey folks! My developer buddy Adam had the great idea of doing a technology chat about LK and putting it up as a Patreon treat! Adam is an extremely talented developer who has created some awesome apps in the RPG space, including Here Be Taverns and his latest project, Novus Bestiary.

This is a casual chat about software development and some LegendKeep...

We finally have a nice landing page to throw around! Share it with your friends, your enemies, your dog! Compliments to Design Chef Justin for such a snazzy page.

LegendKeeper has been in beta for just over a year now (this is insane to me). Just wanna say how grateful I am to y'all! I wake up every day so dang excited to work on LK and it wouldnt' be possible without you.

LegendKeeper 0.7.7: Full-width & hide properties toggle, simplified menus

Allo peeps! Hopefully these changes increase control over layouts and reduce some confusion.

For this post, the page menu refers to the "vertical dots" menu in the top right corner of a Wiki page. 

The property bar refers to the right-side sidebar of an article that holds the article image, map, tags, etc.

* The tab menu has been mer...

LegendKeeper at Gen Con Online

Good news, everyone ! I'll be joining High Shelf Gaming, Icarus Games, and author Patrick Kanouse for a world-building seminar during GenCon online! We'll be talking about world-building with LegendKeeper, workflows for GMs and writers, maybe some upcoming initiatives, and taking plenty of audience questions. 

Join us on Friday, July 31st at 8:00 PM EDT. I'll post a Twitch link when the time comes. You can find out more on the Gen Con Event Listing here: 2020-07-21 00:47:07 +0000 UTC View Post

LegendKeeper 0.7.6: Templates

Have a nice tavern article laid out? Save it as a template, and use it as the base for all future taverns. 

You can now save an existing article as a template, or create blank templates from scratch. These templates can be used in the creation dialog as a starting point for your article. Existing templates can be managed in your Assets manager under the Templates tab.

What major features are you interested in?

Long post ahoy!

Now that Fates is out and stable, I wanted to chat with y'all and get feedback. LegendKeeper 0.7, "Fates", offered up plenty of bugs to fix, and rest assured I'm working on those, but in the meantime I wanted to exercise our imaginations. The next few paragraphs are me musing about software and user experience; feel free to skip to the feature list below, but do read the rest if you're inclined. :)

We've left our roadmap ambiguous to give us wiggle room, and it's b...

LegendKeeper 0.7.5

* Added quick-access buttons for the core properties

* Improved collaborative editing infrastructure.

* Added small tile overscan to map, reducing pop-in when panning slowly.

* Fixed bug preventing deletion of image collections.

* Fixed  bug causing deleted articles to appear in search.

* UI tweaks and bugfixes

Bug advisory: Multi-edit

Hey folks! Just an FYI, multi-user document editing is  kinda borked right now. If two users type at the same time in an article, it tends to mess up more often than not. I"m currently working on a fix.

You can ignore this if you don't use multi-user editing, or if you do so in such a way that all users take turns typing.

LegendKeeper 0.7.4: Full wiki export

Project owners can now export an entire wiki as HTML or JSON. This is an evolving feature and will be improved over time with better formatting and block support. Not all editor formatting and blocks are supported at this time. Future versions of export will include your project's images and other stuff.

HTML Export creates a directory of all of your documents, a main index.htm...

LegendKeeper 0.7.3

* Fix horizontal rule styling

* Fix theming for ordered and unordered lists

* Fix bug causing inability to scroll in asset manager when a project has many collections.

* Tweaked failed login experience. Still needs an overhaul, but it's less jank now.

* Fix image crop not syncing to atlas article preview. (Article content still doesn't sync properly, WIP)

LegendKeeper 0.7.2: Single-page export, images, bug fixes

Single Page Export

You can now export single pages as HTML or JSON. This is an evolving feature, and many block types don't fully convert yet. Over time, it will be improved with better formatting, block support, including images, etc. I figured it was better to have an incomplete export rather than none at all. There is a print-friendly option that flattens your document's tabs, as well.

LegendKeeper 0.7.1

* Fixed bug preventing connection to LegendKeeper's live update system. Live collaboration and updates should work now.

* Fixed bug causing secrets to be revealed.

* Fixed bug causing selected wiki shortcut to be deselected when switching tabs on a page.

* Fixed bug causing avatar button to display '?' instead of your first initial or your avatar.

* Fixed permanent l...

LegendKeeper 0.7: "Fates"

FYI: You may need to clear your cache.

What's changed: Literally everything. We re-made the whole dang thing. Justin and I are super-proud of this update and we hope it makes LK worthy of your creativity! This update lays a foundation that will take us very far into the future and I'm crazy excited to share it with you! Let's get into it!

New UI

A completely new UI, with every component re-designed from the ground up. It's m...

FYI: Expect some instability today.

There might be some outages and instability today. You might experience slower load times and the occasional saving error. Sorry that it's a Saturday; I know that's many of y'all's RPG time. 

But it'll be worth it, I promise! 😇

We can't stay silent.

Hi everyone.   We can't stay silent while American black men are executed in the streets. Not while police brutalize those that would dare demand that police end their brutality. Not while a for-profit prison system is fine-tuned to entrap black lives and keep them forever, profiting off of their labor. Not while corporations make backroom deals with US state governments to buy and sell the tools of oppression.  

LK will be matching donations to the NAACP Legal De...
