Kinopio

Now more than ever, to do more and be more, we all need a racecar for the mind

Line Jump To Buttons [New little feature] Added up and down buttons on lines for convenient hopping between page sections

*neatly shift

Drag Lines Higher Up [new little detail] Lines can be positioned higher up for more flexibility. They'll nearly shift themselves out of the way of the toolbar.

Updated Share → Links When you paste Kinopio spaces or invites into Discord, Slack, or wherever, the link preview now contains more useful information to make the best first impression when sharing Kinopio with new users or with your team.

PSA: The format of invite links is changing so that the spaceId or groupId is in the path of the url (instead of a query string). This means that Invite links that were generated previously won't work anymore (they'll 404), so you'll want to update any reference invites

Added play/pause button to chill out distracting video (mp4) cards

Spent the last couple days improving the reliability and backups for your uploaded files, like images, videos, and mp3s. One of those "better to do before you actually ever need it" kind of things.

All-new Templates [New] The Templates picker was rebuilt from the ground up with a bunch of all-new and more useful templates that use modern Kinopio features like Boxes, Lines, and Lists. (Even if you're a long-time user, you might find some of them handy, like the Calendar.)

Jump To [New] Navigate your space's Table of Contents by jumping between lines, lists, and boxes sorted by Y position. (This replaces the old 'Minimap' dialog)

You can now set a custom value for card/list wrap width if you don't like the Normal or Wide settings

Sidebar → Todos [Improved] The list of todos now hides completed cards by default, and also shows a little progress remaining count

Box Snapping v2 [New] Re-introducing the ability to drag a box near the *outer* edge of another box to snap them together. Handy for making grids and tables.

Even though it demos well, snapping cards together to create new lists will be removed. It had the unintended consequence of needing to be more careful when moving cards, and it got in the way of tight mood-boarding. (You can still create lists w the toolbar or by paint select)

❓ After living woth it for a while, how do you feel about cards snapping together to create lists? Do you create new lists this way? Do you find yourself being more careful/slower when moving cards to avoid acidentally making a list?

☎️ alrighty the beta for draggable multi-select and outside box snapping is now available. If you'd like to try it out and let me know how it goes, the link is in the Discord #makers-log

Also adding the ability to drag to reposition the multiactions dialog. The little horizontal lines on the top of the dialog is a drag affordance/indicator, but actually you can drag from any part of the dialog to move it around

🚑 Apologies for the server downtime today

For more info, there’s a handy Lists overview on the help site. kinopio.club/help/posts/lis…

Lists can also be used to track completed tasks.

Snap Cards into Lists [New] Vertically group and easily reorder cards by snapping them into lists.
