Since today, the new Keepmark 1.37.0 is available for download. In addition to a bunch of smaller fixes and improvements, this version comes with 2 new features - quick note creation, and the ability to add custom entries to ActivityFeed. I’ve already mentioned both in earlier posts. Quick note creation will allow you to note down your thoughts at any time - without thinking about how to name the note, or where to put it. Creating your own entries in ActivityFeed, on the other hand, will give you a better overview of the recent work you’ve been doing within your workspace - ideal if you need to report in daily meetings what you’ve been working on lately.

Another new feature (actually an extension of one of the previous ones) that will appear in the upcoming release is the ability to add custom events to the workspace’s activity feed. This will help the user to report various events that may happen during the day. The need here came out of my daily work, where various situations happen during the day that I would like to report in the daily meetings of the next day, and there is no need to specially create a document for this, which I would later have to delete.

The new Keepmark will introduce the ability to quickly create documents. This is one of those things I’ve been missing when I need to quick note my things without figuring out how I should name it. I’ve already added some improvements in this direction - such as a button that will put the current date as the title of the document. This (seen in the screenshot below), is the next step in improving adding own notes.

It’s probably a good moment to share the results of my work - from today Keepmark 1.36.0 is available. In this release I decided to resign from my own window frame in favor of the native frame provided by the system. This gives the system more control over the application - the user can, for example, use window snapping to the edge of the screen. This is the most noticeable change, but not the only one.

In an upcoming release, I have added the ability to add links as relationships to a document or task. When you add a link, a separate document will be created from it - based on the settings for adding new bookmarks. To add a related link, just paste it in the popup for adding relationships - if Keepmark already finds a bookmark with the given link in the repository, you will be able to select it, if not there will appear an option to create a new document for the given address. An example in the screenshot below.
