Build 137: Pin Permissions
Pin permissions: Add “Show / Hide” option to pin context menu on atlas. You can now hide and reveal pins in real-time to your project members. Pin permissions are separate from article permissions: a member can see an article but not the pin, the pin but not the article, neither, or both. Managing permissions as a whole is still tedious. I’m working with Justin on a new solution for permissi...
Severe Weather in Dallas
Hey peeps! A tornado dropped on top of dallas and now my power’s out. I literally was just about to deploy pin hiding / permissions. 🙄Not sure how long outage will be; depends on how bad the tornado damage around the city is, I imagine. Hopefully it will be short; in the meantime, i may be slower to send out beta invites and respond to messages and bug reports. Thanks!Braden
New interview with High Shelf Gaming; Trello Board
Allo patrons! Our buddies over at High Shelf Gaming just released an interview with me about worldbuilding, the history and future of LegendKeeper, sneak peeks into upcoming features, pricing model, and a slew of other fun stuff. Go give it a listen when you get a chance. :)https://highshelfgaming.com/all-episodes/world-building-with-legendkeepers-creator-bradenAdditionally, I've upated the de...
"Loading Forever" bug
Told you there would be lots of bugs ;P There's a bug in the login code that causes you to see a loading spinner forever when your login token expires. This takes about 7 days but can happen for other reasons. If you get stuck in a weird loading state, navigate to https://app.legendkeeper.com/logout and it should reset your login state. I'll get a patch out soon.
Bug in new sharing features
FYI, there is a significant bug in the sharing feature that prevents Members from seeing anything in your wiki sidebar. I'm still investigating the issue.Thanks for your patience,EDIT: I've deployed a patch that should fix this. Let me know if you still have any trouble.Braden
Build 131: New feature, "Secrets"
Build 131 includes some bug fixes for permissions, as well as Secrets.Secrets can be inserted into any document from the slashmenu. They can only be viewed by users with Edit permissions on the document, and their content is not searchable. You can embed all kinds of content within them, just like any paragraph or quote block. To a read-only user, it'll be as if nothing is there.Secrets will b...
Build 129: "Cerberus" (Breaking Update, Read Carefully)
Warning: Cerberus is a complex update. Your old, locally-cached LegendKeeper client might break. If you have issues, navigate to https://app.legendkeeper.com/logout. All else fails, clear your browser cache.LegendKeeper's largest update to date is done! (Once we squash any bugs :p) I’m super proud of the features in this one. This was a huge, complex update, but everything gets easier from h...
Thank you for your patience! (Also: seeking giveaway recommendations).
Just wanted to say thank you for your patience for the next release. I've spent 60+ hours over the past two weekends prepping the sharing suite (codename: "Cerberus") for its debut. It's a monstrous feature, and by far the largest update LegendKeeper has ever had. It touches absolutely everything in the app, and naturally this takes some time and a LOT of testing.Once it releases, ...
Email deliverability issues
FYI, LK is having some email deliverability issues. I still create beta accounts 1-2 times a day, but many people suddenly aren't receiving emails like they used to. If you've been waiting for your invite, try logging in with your Patreon email at app.legendkeeper.com . If you pledged at least 24 hours ago, you probably already have an account.Additionally, collaboration invite emails are ...
Build 124: Basilisk
A lot of stuff is coming for the atlas screen with the sharing update, so the search bar needed a revamp that made it more extensible. In the interest of consistency, the wiki now has this toolbar as well. New toolbar and styling for atlas and wiki Full navigational breadcrumbs Less intrusive search bar New navigation infrastructureClicking a link inside the atlas sidebar will navigate within the...
Build 119: Remove user / leave project
Project owners can now remove users from their projects. Non-owners can now leave projects. All of this is driven through the Settings screen. :)Additionally, if you ever follow a link to a world that doesn't exist to you, there is now a global 404 page. This should be less confusing than just seeing a broken wiki/map. ;P
Stickers! Also, the Discord integration is broken :(
The new Artificer reward tier gets you an official LegendKeeper sticker, and it puts me one step closer to working on LegendKeeper lots more. I added this because some of you have been asking how to help more. I'd like any additional help to be rewarded with something in exchange, and thus this sticker tier was born. It's just a little thing, but it helps a lot. :)I'm still blown away ...
Beta users can now invite up to 5 other users to the beta.
Check out Settings > Users > Invite! Tell ya friends!
Build 115: Invite bug fixes
There was a bug preventing the addition of existing beta users to your world. This should be fixed now :)Also, LegendKeeper users have collectively created over 100,000 articles! Woo!
Build 111: "Alicorn"
Large builds will now have codenames :) For fun!I had three whole days to work on stuff this Labor Day weekend! It's been a marathon; just goes to show how much I can get done when I can focus. (So get your friends to support me on Patreon... Maybe I can work on LegendKeeper more somehow *WINK*). Sharing System 0.1: Invite other users to your project. If the user already has a LegendKeeper acc...
Work Travel
I’ll be traveling for work Sunday thru Wednesday. I’ll be less available during this time; I’ll still be sending out beta invites and such. Sorry for the smaller updates lately, the last half of August has been crazy with illness, birthday, app deployments at my day job, and work travel. When I get back I’m going to be hardcore focusing on getting the big Invite update out. Then things wil...
Build 108: Subpage Index Block
There is now a handy block for listing the subpages of an article.
Project Creation Bug
Hello everyone! Just FYI, the patch on August 19th created a bug with creating new projects. You may be unable to do so at all at this time. I'm away from my computer at the moment, but I hope to have a fix out late this evening.
Build 103: Auto-"Table of Contents" Block
Experimental feature: table of contents block. The ToC block can derive an interactive table of contents from the headers in your document. This is useful enough to release, but it's a little buggy. The issues can all be worked around while I fix them-- navigating away and coming back does the trick.Known issues: Doesn't re-render when updated in a dialog occupying the same screen. Leaves ...
Build 101: Account and Project Management
* Projects can now be renamedby their owners* Default atlas location can now be changedby owner* Username can now be changed* User login email can now be changed* Headers in documents now use Flanders font.* Add third header level in Slash Menu.* Infrastructure for smart Table of Contents block (WIP, not available yet)* Small CSS tweaks here and there
Categories or no categories?
Hello folks! Got a big decision to make before release; thought I would run it by the community.In LegendKeeper, the Wiki is split into 5 categories: Places, Beings, Items, Abilities, and Codex. While helpful in adding a bit of structure, I'm noticing the category system may be getting in your way.For example, right now, you can't nest Beings under Places, or Items under Beings. This is by...
Adventurer Tier has access to the beta now. :)
At this point, all current and former patrons, provided you’ve received an invite, should be able to log in at https://app.legendkeeper.com.Let me know if you have any trouble. :) Type !dracolich in Discord to get access to the beta discussion channels. Invites still take up to 48 hours, sorry for the delay!
Regarding today's events with WorldAnvil
Earlier today, WorldAnvil announced a new feature that looked familiar to me. Per their announcement, they've been working on this feature for 2 weeks. Dimitris, the creator of WorldAnvil, gained private access to the LegendKeeper Closed Beta 2 weeks ago. This was done using Janet's (another founder of WA) personal email account, shortly after changing her profile picture from an identifyi...
The Adventurer Tier
The adventurer tier, or the $1 tier, will soon be discontinued via giving it a max capacity. ALL EXISTING AND FORMER ADVENTURER TIER PATRONS STILL RECEIVE THEIR BENEFITS AND WILL NOT BE AFFECTED. If you are already a patron, or have ever been a patron of Adventurer tier, you will not be affected. I’m doing this because the Patreon + Stripe fees on $1 pledges are absurd, and people aren’t reall...
I'm back!
Hey folks! I am back from vacation. Had a restful weekend of relaxing and hanging out with friends, but I'm ready to get back to work! So many people got onto me for answering questions on Discord and Doorbell every now and then, lol. Thank you for keeping me accountable to vacay time. :PA ton of great feedback and bug reports came in over the weekend; it'll take me some time to sort throu...
Build 86
Figured I'd put build notes here for those not on Discord. I'll post notes when a significant chunk of stuff has been done, rather than every update. Generally I tackle smaller tasks on weeknights, and larger tasks (features like permissions, etc.) on the weekends when I can really dig in.Build 86 makes Firefox a *tiny* bit more stable. You can now hold Shift + Click on eligible pins to na...
Going on vacation this weekend.
FYI, I'll be going on vacation this weekend. I've used the last year of weekends and paid-time-off to work on LK. I need a proper vacation, haha...I'll be significantly less available this weekend. I'll be taking my laptop so I can send the daily round of invites and respond to any critical emergencies, but expect communication from me to be very sparse Saturday and Sunday.Have a g...
Today's Wizards have been activated!
(What a silly sentence!)Use your email to log in to https://app.legendkeeper.com/a
Bug in Beta
FYI, the influx of users has revealed a nasty bug in the Beta in regards to map processing. You might find your maps look strange or are the wrong size. This is a bug that gets worse the more people use the app. It's a straightforward fix but it'll take some time.Yay beta @__@. If you find your maps look cut-off or have random stuff in them, try uploading again. If they still look weird, w...
