Progress, the Inbox on Top & Steadier Sync

In full width, a list’s right sidebar now shows its Progress: one line — 6 of 29 finished, 23 open — over a chart of every todo the list has held and the finished ones across the last twelve weeks. The gap between the two lines is the open work. Hover the chart, or focus it and press ← and →, to read any week; the numbers count finished todos that have since been archived.

The Inbox leads the rail

The Inbox moves out of the Lists section to the first row of the rail’s top block, above your favorites, and steps aside while it is empty — it returns the moment a todo sits in no list. With a list’s row focused, + names a new view for it and → and ← open and fold the views under it; closing the dialog puts the focus back on the row. A view made for one list keeps that list’s manual order: sort it Manual and drag, and the list’s own page follows.

Even steps, and a top bar

Every level of a list steps in by the same 16px at the status glyph, and every title starts 12px after its glyph, so a subtodo three levels down lines up with the ones above it. With the sidebar hidden, the corner buttons sit on a solid top bar in the page’s colour that rows scroll under rather than through.

When the sync server can’t be reached

A device opening a workspace for the first time used to wait on a spinner while the sync server was down. It now says Can’t reach the sync server after ten seconds, in every open tab, and opens the workspace by itself once the server answers. If the tab that sends your changes stops answering, another tab takes over within seconds, and a save the server never answers is given up after 150 seconds and sent again rather than holding up everything behind it.

Improvements

• The toast for an edit replaced by a newer change names the todo by its identifier and the title you saw, and says which fields were replaced
• The tree mark fills more of the Dock and home-screen icons, and is drawn heavier where it stands alone: the favicon and the app icons
