Full search & major performance improvement

It’s been a few months since our last update. Sorry about that 🙏.

This is mostly due to the fact we were working on fundamental pieces of the app. Having only 3 software engineers and the holiday season also didn’t help.

Now that the team is 7 engineers strong, we have a lot more capacity and we will be releasing more often, promise 🤞.

Without further ado, let me present you Routine Desktop 0.19…

🍾 New Features

  • You can now search for your data anywhere in Routine, in titles but also in notes

    • Note that Routine’s search will also work in offline.

  • We have entirely reworked the way the app fetches data which drastically improves the app’s performance.

    • The experience should feel a lot faster now.

    Note that we are working on improving the feeling of switching from one screen to another as it sometimes feels like it is blinking.

  • We just launched the Routine’s marketplace 🎉

    • Even though it is still in its early phase, it will give you a glimpse of Routine’s direction.

    Also, it is helpful to discover what views are already capable of.

    Oh, and you can upvote for your favorite integrations, something we will start working on in a few weeks.

  • Finally, Linux is now supported

    • Note however that it does not come with auto-update. You will have to automatically download and install each new version.

✂️ Improvements

  • Calendars can now be displayed in views
    • image
  • Clicking the Calendar menu icon (if already on the Calendar) will bring you to the current period (week/month)
  • Event participants are now ordered by attendance: going, then maybe then not going
  • Long list of event participants are no scrollable
  • The progress line position on short events in Agenda has been fixed
  • The keyboard shortcut to open the Inbox (CMD/CTRL+0) has been removed because it conflicted with reseting the zoom
  • You can now type a / command followed by the main argument

    • This is handy to do /view QUERY or /task TITLE

🎯 Coming Next

We are currently working on the following:

  • Android app
  • Notes editor
  • Offline mode
  • Custom types

I cannot say which one will come next but as mentioned we will now be back to a more regular release cadence even though what is coming are big pieces.
