- the freedom of having nowhere to file it
why writing apps without folders or databases set your thoughts free.
- the demo is the app
shizumu runs in a browser now, at /try, with a few weeks of writing already in it. it is the real app with its database swapped for one that lives in the tab, so it can finally show the part that is hardest to describe: name the trail you are working on, and what you pinned there is already on today's page.
- where does this go
the question every notes app asks before you have written anything, and what happens if you remove it instead of answering it better.
- 0.7.5 beta: account recovery and sync fixes
recovery from a phrase, a one step first sync, and the 0.7.4 defect that stopped it working.
- write to think
the mental model behind shizumu, and what it owes to howm.
- shizumu is on flathub
one line to install on linux, built from public source, and listed as agpl. the encryption claim is now something a store verifies rather than something we assert.
- open beta. sync arrives.
e2e-encrypted sync you can self-deploy, a quieter redesign, and first builds for android and windows.
- window fixes and phone header, nothing more
this month's devlog, the quiet parts
- phone header, editor corrections, touch surfaces
the phone earns an editorial header. the editor lands its cursor. touch controls find their scale.
- what we keep
why a writing app should keep what you pin rather than everything you write.
