Tisty 1.2.1
Tisty had spent a version calling itself a task manager while it had grown into
something else. The installer said it, the About screen said it, and the guide
opened by saying Tisty keeps your tasks. None of that was what you would find
inside any more.
It now says the same thing everywhere, and says it plainly: notes, documents and
tasks, all local, with no account, no subscription and no telemetry. The two
readme files carry the same line, and add the part that matters to whoever wants
to check rather than believe — it is open source, and what it writes is an
append-only log of plain Markdown files.
The guide the app carries was rewritten around that. It opens by saying what
Tisty is before it says what to press: something you can read, build and audit;
a record of what you worked out rather than a list you empty; a door an
assistant comes in through, opened by a program on your own machine. It is split
into tasks and documents, with a real page break between them, and it now says
the two things it never did — how you make a document, and how you give one
pages.
Where it used to describe what a document can hold, it holds it. The five
callouts sit there in their colours, with a sixth carrying a list, a code block
and a rule inside it. Four pens, an icon, a table leaning three ways, three
diagrams, two formulas, code blocks with names, a page break that breaks the
page, and a page of the guide's own hanging off its last line.
Two things had to be fixed before any of that could be true. The guide itself
opened read-only, because the shortcut keys were written as HTML the editor
throws away — the first document anybody opens, and it arrived with the bar
saying it could not be converted. And so did any document carrying an icon Tisty
had put there itself: the editor kept it perfectly, and the gate called it a
loss anyway. Both halves of that gate agree again, and the shared corpus grew
six cases so they stay that way.
One smaller thing you will see rather than read about. The guide is written one
line to a paragraph now, because in a document a line break is a line break: it
used to arrive with a ragged edge down the middle of every paragraph, wrapped to
a width nobody's window happens to be.
Nothing changed in the log. A machine on 1.2.0 reads what this one writes.
