Updated the pricing and privacy pages on the help site. Basically, now the app is more private than before (less uses of third parties), so I made that clearer ┗(＾0＾)┓

🎑 Recent Updates and Fixes

“using kinopio to make a recruitment poster for my web accessibility research! I want to try to making some event posters next time” – charelle

Price increases are happening on Monday – be sure to upgrade before then if you want to be grandfathered on the lower prices

“I've been putting more journal-y things into kinopio as of late, on hectic days it's nice to dump all my thoughts into todo items then write down the stuff I get done as I do it next to it in a timeline” – morgan

Header FontPicker Preview [new, little update] To make it a little easier to select the right h1/h2 fonts, a preview is displayed in the 'Aa' font picker.

if there was a keyboard shortcut to toggle on/off the sidebar what do you think it should be? Maybe 's'? Are there equivalent sidebar keyboard shortcuts in other apps you use?

Improved Box Snapping [New] Boxes can grow to envelop cards when you drag them over edges. Boxes snap together the same way. Handy for making your own grids, kanbans, and calendars.

A couple new space backgrounds added

A very cool example of what's possible with the Kinopio public API: morgan's (ampersand.pm) Kinopio Glue app collects all their todo cards with tags across all the spaces in a specific group and creates a website running on a mac mini hooked up to tailscale

Sidebar Todo List [New] When your brain is in "Todo Mode" you can now open the Sidebar to see a simple list of all your [] checkbox boxes and cards. Helpful for getting things done after planning out a project, or for checking off groceries.

So this week and next i'll be travelling so updates will be slower. I'm starting work writing up a new About Kinopio marketing page to help new users and for SEO. Lucas is almost finished with the plumbing required to enable the app to serve static webpages for this.

[new blog post] How I Do Support and Community pketh.org/support-comm...

Only a few days ago the newest issue of c ‘n c was released! I may be biased, but oh boy there are some fantastic features this time around: → @kinopio.club by @pketh.org → Indie App Sales by @matt1corey.bsky.social → and a shiny retro keyset by pbt.fans (just to name a few)

For the first time in forever, I'm thinking of increasing the price to 8$/mo , 80$/yr , and some higher lifetime price, maybe 250$ or 260$. Kinopio price history: 2020: $4/mo 2021: $5/mo 2022: $6/mo, $60/yr, $200/life thoughts?

Who says you can't craft something personal and heartfelt for another person on the web?

I fixed a very longstanding bug where Live public spaces wouldn't be broadcasted if they only had 1 user. Already, in non-prime-time, I'm finding the list be a lot more useful and alive feeling (´▽｀)ノ♪

New little detail: if a card name is a color, specified in any color format supported by colord (rgb, hsl, hex, cssname, etc.), it'll become the card color. I use this for collecting and sharing color codes in my dev work, they'd also be useful when mood-boarding

Improved Sync [New] The sync system was refactored to improve speed and reliability

This week 20+ bug and performance fixes went out, so do be sure to Update

a friendly reminder to spread the word

Major Performance and Stability Update [New] Over the last month I've been working on a full under-the-hood rebuild. It's the same race-car for the mind, now even faster. This release sets the technical foundation for the next 6+ years of Kinopio.

Fran emailed me about a student plan, and right after made this super cute TikTok www.tiktok.com/@franifestos...

Small upcoming WIP detail: When you open the Minimap, you'll be able to collapse the boxes list to give you more room when pinning the dialog. Should the boxes list be open by default?

Another amazing way to start the day – thanks Florian!

Kinopio price history: 2020: $4/mo 2021: $5/mo 2022: $6/mo, $60/yr, $200/life At the beginning of COVID (~2022) I decided not to increase prices because of the risk of recession, but possible economic collapse became the new normal so I may increase new customer prices this yr

More Efficient Images [New] Uploaded card images and backgrounds are dynamically compressed to load much more quickly, and improve snappiness when scrolling – especially in mood-boards and personal photo album spaces.

My 2025 [Inspiration] space so far

Cards on top of locked images is a great way to plan out maps of all kinds

Reading and translating Conan using #Yomitan in @kinopio.club this evening. Some dense(r) text and excellent words for our #anki decks!

Huge thanks to @kinopio.club for sponsoring this week on Foofaraw! It's by far the coolest visual/spatial note-taking app to help capture and connect thoughts, which I personally use on a daily basis. kinopio.club

Kinopio and Are.na , two flavors that go well together kinopio.club/emerald-carp...

Drawing [New] Freehand some highlights, doodles, diagrams, and add a unique personal touch to your spaces. How awesome would it be if instead of seeing “25 likes”, we could see 25 little drawings?

today's bug fixes

⏰ This Sunday, 11am to 2pm EST, the server will be offline to complete a migration to a new server host (Railway). During this time, Kinopio will still work, except for collaboration and explore features. Edits during this time will be synced once the new server comes online.

☎️ Community Question: Would you prefer if the name of new spaces was today's date (kinda like obsidian, etc.), or do you prefer the current 2 random-words default space names?
