changelog

Dailies

• Past-day daily notes you never wrote in now clean themselves up - no more clicking through blank days from earlier in the week. A day counts as untouched even if scheduled tasks got checked off; any open - [ ] or actual writing keeps the note
• The sweep runs at startup and again when the app rolls over to a new day, so it works whether vob was open or closed at midnight

Editor

• Rich (WYSIWYG) editor is now the only editor - the experimental toggle in Settings is gone
• Task checkboxes on wrapped items now line up with the first line of text instead of floating toward the middle of the block

Notes

• Checked-off checkbox items in notes now read as done - text is dimmed and struck-through so the eye skips past them and lands on what's still open
• Orphan .vobtmp-*.md files (left behind if vob was hard-killed mid-write) no longer show up when typing [ to link a note, and the sidecar cleans them up on startup

First run

• The window now opens centered on your display - horizontally and vertically - sized to fit above the taskbar instead of getting clipped at the bottom
• The bottom copyright bar now cascades in as part of the intro: footer first, then the entry, then the chat panel rises over the welcome note

Installer / process hygiene

• Uninstalling vob now force-kills any running vob-next.exe and vob-sidecar.exe first, so the uninstaller can actually delete the install directory instead of leaving files behind
• Ctrl+J no longer opens WebView2's built-in downloads flyout - vob has no downloads to show

Chat panel

• Sticky-scroll: the chat only auto-scrolls when you're already near the bottom. Scroll up to re-read a long reply and it stays put - no more getting yanked back down every time a new chunk streams in. Sending a new message snaps back so you always see the reply

Note writing

• Vob now writes notes with proper paragraph breaks - bold headings sit on their own line with space around them, paragraphs get blank lines between them. No more SectionSome text. jammed together

Graph

• Removed the little colored dot that sat above every node label - the label + its sphere already do the job, the dot was extra visual noise on hover
• Nodes are no longer locked to a perfect Fibonacci grid - each point gets a bit of angular jitter and a random radial pull inward, so the cloud reads as a filled volume with some notes floating inside the sphere instead of every note sitting on the surface
• Depth of field is back in the hidden FX panel (backtick to open) - focus (z-position of the sharp band), aperture (width of that band, 1 = wide/almost no blur), max-blur, plus an on/off toggle
• New Distribution group in the FX panel: two live sliders - order (0 = jittered angles, 1 = clean Fibonacci grid) and chaos (0 = all on the surface, 1 = filled volume). Drag them and the cloud reshapes in real time
• FX panel now sits above the node labels - no more label text bleeding through the panel background

Rich editor (opt-in)

• New WYSIWYG editor for notes and the daily. Turn it on in Settings ? Editor ? Rich (WYSIWYG) editor
• Bold, italic, underline, strike render in place - no more ** or ~~ markers while typing
• Notes still stay as plain .md files on disk; the toggle only changes how the editor renders them
• Flip it off anytime to fall back to the CodeMirror editor

What works in the rich editor

• Headings (## + space, or Ctrl+1/2/3), bullet lists (- + space), task lists ([ ] + space), block quotes, horizontal rules (---)
• Wikilink picker - type [[ and get a filtered dropdown of your notes next to the caret. Click a [[Note]] pill to jump there
• Drag an image from Explorer and drop it anywhere in a note - a purple bar shows the exact block boundary it'll land on. Existing ![[System/Media/.]] embeds render inline as images too
• Paste a YouTube URL on its own line - becomes a thumbnail + title card. Double-click to open, click to select, Delete to remove
• Vob-appended timestamps render as their own dim line above the appended content, no longer glued together
• Ctrl+K adds a link mark on the selection; plain click on any URL opens it in your browser
• Click below the last block (or under a YouTube card) to place your cursor there and keep typing

Other bits

• Task list checkboxes match the CodeMirror editor's purple square look, and the checkbox sits centered on the text
• Vob append tool now writes the timestamp and the appended message as two paragraphs so both editors render it cleanly

Main UI

• Resizable UI relaunch memory
• Fixed maximum navigation size.

Editor polish

• Ctrl+B now feels like a real bold-mode toggle - typing flows forward, the ** markers stay hidden, and pressing space or enter keeps the bold going across the boundary instead of breaking the markdown
• Backspace inside a freshly-opened empty bold/italic/strike pair removes the pair cleanly

Chat panel

• The "vob" speaker label now stays visible when the chat is empty, so the panel always feels populated

New bottom bar

• Small footer below the chat entry shows the vob version, a link to spiritform, and the current date and time
• Splash now reads "made by spiritform"

Vob behavior

• Vob now knows about /edit <name> - ask "can I edit a command?" and you'll get the right answer instead of "no"

Editor polish

• Ctrl+B now feels like a real bold-mode toggle - typing flows forward, the ** markers stay hidden, and pressing space or enter keeps the bold going across the boundary instead of breaking the markdown
• Backspace inside a freshly-opened empty bold/italic/strike pair removes the pair cleanly

Admin

• Changelog entries collapse - click the chevron next to the version chip to fold the body

Graph view rebuilt

• Sphere of notes with explode-from-center intro
• Drag rotates the sphere itself (camera stays put)
• Click a note to center it close-up, click again to open
• Labels glued to nodes (no more drift) — fade in on cursor-over
• Long titles truncated with ellipsis (full title in hover)
• Bloom/glow tuned; press ` for live bloom tweaks
• Purple/blue palette only

UI / UX

• First-run intro: splash holds, then chat box, vob panel, and navigation build into

place before Welcome.md opens

• Cleaner welcome message
• Tighter default chat + entry heights
• Bigger (invisible) grab zone on the resize dividers + grab/grabbing cursor
• New drag preview — picked-up notes show as a row hovering above the cursor

Notes

• Ctrl+click and Shift+click to select multiple notes for batch move, copy, or delete
• Multi-selection sends ALL selected notes to vob as context (breadcrumb shows "N notes

selected")

• Drag a multi-selected note and the whole selection moves with you
• Drag any note onto the "vobmd" breadcrumb chip to move it to the vault root
• Rename a note or folder and the breadcrumb updates immediately
• Ctrl+Z to undo the last note move (drag or cut-paste)
• Ctrl+A to select everything in the current folder

Vob behavior

• Backtick paths in vob's replies (e.g. Folder/Note.md) are now clickable links that

open the note

• Vob breaks up long replies into paragraphs instead of walls of text
• Vob no longer offers to "pull up" or "open" a note that's already on screen
• Save-confirmations land on their own line with the clickable path

UI / UX Updates

• drag and drop notes into folders or breadcrumb links
• easier drag to adjust vob / chat panels
