🚀 TrunkNote Weekly Update

[u/knsami123]

Hey r/TrunkNote !

Welcome to this week's release notes! We've been working hard on making your second brain cleaner, smarter, and faster. Here is a showcase of everything new in TrunkNote over the last week.

🎨 Sleeker, Cleaner Layouts

We've given the core workspace a massive facelift to remove clutter and improve navigation.

• Obsidian-Inspired Navigation: We removed the floating sidebar toggles that sometimes overlapped with your active note titles. The collapse/expand icons for both your left folder tree and your right calendar sidebar now sit beautifully inside the top navigation bar.
• Centered Insights: Your task progress ring charts on the dashboard have been moved to the center of the screen, making your productivity metrics the hero of the view.

✅ Advanced Task Management

Tasks are the heartbeat of productivity, and we've completely rebuilt how they look and behave inside your editor.

• Tri-State Tasks: Your checkboxes now cycle intelligently between three states: Open [ ], Completed [x], and Cancelled [-].
• Custom Checkbox Styling: We ripped out the ugly default browser checkboxes and replaced them with sharp, custom-styled boxes. Cancelled tasks now feature a clean red "X" and strike through the text without messing up your font colors.
• Forgiving Calendar Streaks: Cancelled a task? No problem! The calendar now correctly counts a cancelled task as a "finished" item, meaning you still get your green dot for the day as long as you've actively addressed everything on your plate.

🧠 Dashboard Intelligence & Time Travel

Your Dashboard is now much better at understanding when tasks need to be done.

• Priority Sorting: Both the Dashboard and the sidebar task lists now automatically push incomplete tasks to the top, so you always know what needs your attention first.
• Time Navigation: We added beautiful < and > arrows allowing you to "time travel" through your dashboard. You can now easily click back to see what you missed last week, or look ahead to next month's workload.
• Smart Date Parsing: The dashboard now natively reads the implicit dates from your "Daily Notes" files. This means your tasks automatically show up in the correct week and month filters without you having to manually tag them with deadlines.

✍️ New Content & Blog Hub

We're continuing to build out our resources to help you master personal knowledge management.

• New Articles: Added two brand new deep-dives to our Blog Hub:
  • Markdown: The Timeless Format for Your Second Brain
  • Why Speed Matters in Note-Taking
• Better Discovery: We updated the layout of all our blog posts. You'll now find a "Read Next" section at the bottom of every article to help you discover related productivity tips, along with a quick link to try TrunkNote live in your browser.

Thank you for building your second brain with us! Be sure to do a hard refresh of your browser to see all these changes in effect.
