notable/notable-insiders v1.9.0-beta.2

on GitHub

Overview

• The layout changed significantly:
  • The app is now organized into "views", and it has a "viewbar" for switching between them.
  • The app is now divided into 3 main sections, from left to right: viewbar, sidebar and mainbar.
  • The middlebar got deleted, the search section of the app got moved to its own view.
  • Most things that were previously implemented as modal windows got moved to their own views: graph, changelogs, help pages, settings, custom CSS/JS editor etc.
  • The main benefits of this new layout are: space is used more efficiently, it can work nicely on mobile, and in the future extensions could be written to implement new views or new sections for the various sidebars, which would be really powerful.
• Search has been completely rewritten:
  • In-editor search is now supported, for every editor the app provides, with many VS Code-like features supported out of the box.
  • In-preview search is implemented too, for things like help pages and changelogs too, but it can only search into contiguous characters having the same formatting style, for now.
  • Global search is crazy powerful now, a full-blown query language is supported, which is documented in the search help page.
  • As a quick summary the query language supports things like: regular expressions, boolean expressions, grouping, filters, searching into any metadata field etc.
  • As a bare minimum every search field the app provides now supports regular expressions, which on its own makes them already super powerful.
  • Palettes and autocomplete providers are also searched into, highlighted and ranked smartly using the new search engine.
• Tabs received many important improvements:
  • They are always visible, even if you have a single one open.
  • Tabs have a history, and back/forward buttons have been added to the toolbar for browsing it.
  • Links now work similarly to how they work in a browser, if you left-click something it will be opened in the same tab, if you middle-click something it will be opened in a new tab.
  • Tabs can be restored after being closed with a Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T.
  • Tabs can be pinned, either from the context menu or the command palette.
• Proper inline autocomplete is implemented:
  • The following things can be autocompleted while editing notes: emojis, footnote links, syntax highlighting grammars, katex functions, reference links, scheme links, regular links, reference links, quick links, and spelling mistakes.
  • The following things can be autocompleted while editing settings and shortcuts: properties, values.
  • There's also an autocomplete provider for tags inputs.
• The new syntax highlighter is IDE-level:
  • Every language that GitHub can syntax highlight the app can now syntax highlight too, that's hundreds of them.
  • Every language is syntax highlighted using an advanced TextMate grammar, which is what every proper editor uses.
  • Pikchr and AsciiMath can be syntax highlighted too, no other app can do this, custom grammars have been written to support them too.
• The new graph is completely custom:
  • It lives in its own view and it's therefor much more immersive.
  • When the graph is animating or being interacted with it's ~50% faster compared to the old one.
  • When the graph is not animating nor being interacted with it's exactly 100% faster compared to the old one.
  • A pagerank algorithm is being run over the whole graph, so the visual size of each node gives you a hint regarding its importance in the network.
  • The graph can be downloaded in PNG or SVG.
  • The 3D graph got temporarily deleted, it will eventually be reimplemented with reasonable performance characteristics.
• The new spell checker is completely custom:
  • It has some seemingly impossible performance characteristics, the following numbers work out for all supported languages, even those that previously required 10s+ to be ready and 100MB+ of memory.
  • Startup time decreased by ~100%, because dictionaries are parsed at build-time.
  • Memory usage decreased for ~95%.
  • Word look-up time decreased by ~95%.
  • The quality of the provided suggestions is slightly higher too!
• The new scrollbars are completely custom:
  • They are used consistently throughout the app.
  • They are slim and modern-looking, this makes a big difference especially under Windows.
  • They are visible only when a scrollable section is being hovered or scrolled.
  • Everything can now be scrolled at 5x the speed by pressing Alt while scrolling.
• The multi-note editor now lives in its own view:
  • You can now interact with it without losing the ability to interact with notes while it's open.
  • You can add notes to it just by dragging them to the viewbar button for the multi-node editor view, which will be always displayed while dragging potential targets for it.
• This release ships with many many many performance improvements, the app should be noticeably faster, and even if it was already plenty fast for you before now it will at least require less battery power.
• This release supports opening multiple windows of the app, and switching between them, right from within the app.
• Universal builds for macOS are now available, they run natively on Intel and Apple Silicon.
• Universal builds for Windows are now available, they run natively on IA32, X64 and ARM64.
• Electron is updated from v11 to v16.
