What I've been building

A small day, one fix and some notes for later.

• Three improvements were noted for later: a text box that grows line by line, story history that reads as notes, and tidier pop-up messages.
• Fixed the back arrow on a finished story sometimes landing on an unhelpful error screen; it now always returns to the log.

Two additions to the shared component set, both off by default so no existing screen changes.

• Grouped lists can now sit on a soft tinted background, chosen over a border because both border colours measured too faint to see.
• List rows gain an add style, a dashed ring matching the tick circle, so something you could add reads differently from something already owed.
• The planner’s Today design swaps its lone log-a-habit button for a zone of unlogged habits built from the two new pieces.

Most of today went on habits, on the screen and by text message.

• Every habit you haven’t logged today now sits at the end of Today, so recording one is a tap instead of opening a separate picker.
• You can now move a repeating task or habit to another day by text, where before the reply told you to open the app.
• Fixed an add button blocked by the saved-task message, daily habits labelled weekly, a misaligned history grid, a stuck weekly count, and clumsy messages.

Most of today was case study polish, with time set aside to plan a new build log for the site.

• The storymap case study now shows real captures of the grid and a card being dragged between release stages, instead of placeholder blocks.
• The live link on each case study now reads Try it, and storymap repeats it lower down where you’d most want to open the app.
• The site header now slides away as you scroll down and returns as you scroll up, giving small screens more room to read.
• On phones the app screenshots now fill the screen with a peek of the next one, so they’re easier to read and swipe.
• Started planning an automated build log that turns each day’s commits into a plain-language note about what changed for you.
• Fixed off-centre carousel captions, a controls row that shifted between slides, cluttered tags above case study titles, and inconsistent title dividers.

Today went on a caching bug that hid saved changes from signed-in editors.

• When you save changes to a board, you now see them straight away, instead of an old copy your browser had held onto for up to four hours.

The weekly review and the Timeline both got attention.

• You can now see every habit’s progress on the screen shown after planning your week, including flexible ones left off before.
• Fixed those progress grids showing too small, awkward habit-nudge wording, and the Timeline losing today’s marker for people in Australian time zones.

Work continued on making each recurring habit record what happened on a day, so a past day stays correct after you change its schedule.

Most of the day reworked the site’s colours and the look of the homepage cards.

• Highlights across the site, from badges to links to buttons, are now forest green instead of purple, a look that read as AI-generated.
• Homepage project cards no longer show tag chips, giving each card larger, clearer artwork in the freed-up space.
• The diagrams on the storymap case study were re-tinted to match the new green, so the page reads as one palette.

Text-message reminders now reach two kinds of habit that were quietly missing out.

• Habits you do a set number of times a week now get their own reminder text, where before that type never sent one.
• Fixed a reminder for a habit you moved to a chosen day arriving on its usual day instead of the day you picked.

The detail page for a habit or repeating task gained a record of when you actually did it.

• You can now see your last ten completion dates on a task, so you can answer “when did I last do this” without reading it off the grid.
• Fixed missed days on a habit grid showing as blank instead of grey, and the Today heading scrolling away instead of staying pinned at the top.

The deploy buttons on the versions dashboard now show a run’s true outcome when you return to the tab, where before they could spin forever on a phone after the deployment had already finished.

Stories that arrive finished no longer get stuck waiting for a check-in you didn’t ask for.

• A story you save with a result now lands as done with no next-check date, so you aren’t chased to revisit something already finished.
• You can now mark any waiting story as done in one tap, so a result that turns up later can close it off.
• Fixed the Log’s first tab, which was labelled “Active” but only ever showed finished stories; it now reads “Done”.

Tapping a row inside the “Log another habit” sheet now works on touch devices, where before the tap started sliding the sheet instead and nothing was selected.
