What I've been building

A repeating task that was already overdue misbehaved when you snoozed it, and that now works.

• You can now snooze an overdue repeating task to a later day, so it no longer stays on Today with a red overdue tag.
• Snoozing that same task a second time now works, where before it failed with a message saying the slot already had the task.
• The fix behaves the same whether you snooze from the app or by text message.

Train disruption notices on the family calendar now say when the problem clears and stay readable at the largest text size.

• You can now see when a train disruption ends, so the board tells you when trains return and not only when replacement buses begin.
• Long line names are now shortened at large text, so the part saying what went wrong is no longer cut off the edge.

The weekly digest text had stopped reaching phones, and this gets it arriving again in a form carriers let through.

• Your weekly digest text now arrives, where the longer version was held back by phone carriers that read its many links as spam.
• The text now reads as a count of new posts and feeds plus a link to the page that already lists every post.

The day tiles on the board now make clearer what each event is and when it happens.

• Each event on a day tile now shows its own small picture, where before one picture sat in the middle of the tile.
• Times between 7 and midday now carry a small am or pm, so an 8:30 entry no longer leaves you guessing morning or evening.
• The time now leads each event, so a long label that wraps to a second line lines up neatly under it.
• Fixed a day tile with a long label sitting out of line with the tiles above it.

The board now watches the family’s train lines and the day’s grass pollen, and speaks up only when either is worth knowing.

• You now see a row when planned works or a fault hit your train lines, so you know before you leave home.
• You can turn train alerts on, refresh the timetable, and choose which lines to watch, from the calendar’s admin page.
• The board now shows the grass pollen level on days it reaches moderate or worse, so hay fever sufferers can prepare.

Each cloud session now reapplies three corrections to its built-in start-up routine when it begins.

Changing how often a habit or repeating task repeats now only affects future dates, so your past history stays exactly as you logged it.

The board shows your charge and the weather more plainly, and the forecast now lines up with the day outside.

• You now see your charge drawn as a battery that fills up, instead of a plain percentage reading.
• The weather strip icons are bigger, so you can read them from across the room.
• Fixed the forecast showing rain on a dry day, and a weather icon that was almost invisible on the Today panel.

Text on the calendar that used to get cut off at large sizes now wraps onto the next line when there is room.

• The daily sunscreen reminder now shows its full time window at every text size, where before it ended with blank space below.
• Lines in the focus panel now wrap onto the next line, so you can read the whole message.
• Tonight’s events now wrap into the space the focus panel leaves, instead of ending part way through.
• Names under Coming up now wrap into the free rows below, so longer ones are no longer clipped.

The tool that tracks planned work now clears out links to files that have been moved or deleted, so stale references stop building up.

When you book a babysitter, the board now suggests outings for the two of you that fit the hours you are out.

• Each plan pairs a place to eat or drink with an event or film nearby, so you do not have to plan it yourself.
• The web page behind the board’s code gives each plan’s place, times, distance, cost and booking link.
• Film plans list each cinema’s session times, so you can choose one that fits the hours you have.
• You can turn date ideas on or off and set your budget, travel and film tastes, so plans match your household.

The weekend research that finds things to do had failed on every live run, and now it gets through.

• You can now start a fresh run while an earlier one still shows as running, so a stuck run no longer blocks you.
• You can now reset a run’s attempts from the admin page, so retrying after three failed tries no longer needs a command line.
• The run summary now shows which attempt you are on out of three, so you can see the limit before you hit it.
• The tool that picks activities now uses a more capable version, aimed at better suggestions.

You can now set the calendar board to a bigger text size when the standard size is hard to read from a distance.

• Labels, times, tomorrow’s temperature and the weather and status lines all grow, so the board reads clearly from further away.
• You pick Small or Big on the admin page, and it saves straight away, so the next board refresh shows your choice.
• At the big size the board lists six days instead of seven, giving each day row the room it needs.

A couple of taps that seemed to do nothing were actually being refused, and now the app tells you so.

• You can now tick or skip a monthly task stuck showing as overdue, where before both taps were refused and it never cleared.
• Fixed refused taps on Today and on overdue one-off tasks quietly rolling back, so they now show a short message saying why.

A repeating habit you finished earlier in its cycle no longer reappears under Done today when its due date arrives.

The board gained a panel of weekend outing ideas for the family, alongside a clearer layout for each day.

• You can now see suggested weekend outings on the board, so the family has ideas ready without anyone searching for them.
• You can now scan a code on the board to open a page with each outing’s times, travel and cost.
• You can now switch the outing suggestions on or off and start a fresh round of ideas from the admin page.
• Each day now shows one big picture beside a list of every item, so a busy day is easy to read at a glance.

The weekly text and the feed list both changed to show more of what you care about and less of what you don’t.

• The weekly text now names who wrote each post, so you can tell whose writing a line points to.
• The text fits roughly twice as many posts, so a busy week shows far more before the “+N more” link.
• Feeds with nothing new this week now sit under a closed section, so the list shows what actually changed.
• A feed that is failing stays in the main list, so a problem needing your attention is never hidden away.

Adding and reading feeds got a few rough edges smoothed, from the import screen to the messages when a feed will not load.

• You can now import feeds that include the full text of each article, where before they were refused for being too large.
• The import screen now shows an “Importing feeds” indicator while it runs, so a slow upload no longer looks stuck.
• Feed rows now have a thin line between them, so the list is easier to read.
• When a site blocks the reader, the message now says so and shows the error status, instead of claiming the feed is unreadable.
• Fixed a cut-off feed adding a duplicate item the next time it refreshed.
