Projects as workspace, landing page, in-app feedback, and share page

Projects as workspace, landing page, in-app feedback, and share page

A major update that redefines projects as the central research workspace and opens the app to new visitors with a public landing page.

Features

  • Projects as workspace — timelines are no longer standalone; every project now owns a rich-text editor with chapters, an auto-generated timeline derived from @mentions, and a map tab, all in a unified three-tab interface.
  • Block editor with @mentions — chapters use a Tiptap rich-text editor with headings, lists, and inline @mention chips for linking entities (people, events, locations, verses, artifacts) directly into the narrative.
  • Mention popovers — hover or tap any @mention chip to preview entity details without leaving the document. Verse mentions include a direct link to the Watchtower Online Library.
  • Per-chapter entity panels — each chapter card has a collapsible panel showing referenced people (with project-scoped relationships), verses (grouped by Bible book with external read links), and artifacts (with provenance details).
  • Public landing page — unauthenticated visitors see a marketing page at the root URL with a cartographic hero, feature highlights, device mockups, how-it-works steps, and a sign-up call to action.
  • In-app feedback — report bugs, request features, or leave comments without leaving the app. Submissions create GitHub issues with auto-attached metadata (user ID, current page, app version, browser/OS).
  • Public project sharing — share any project via a public link. Anonymous visitors can read the document, browse the timeline, explore the map, and open entity detail blades for mentioned entities.

Improvements

  • Sticky project tab bar — the Document, Timeline, and Map tabs stay visible while scrolling, with icon+label tabs and a bottom-border active indicator.
  • Mobile project UX — a floating action button for adding chapters without scrolling, and swipe between tabs on mobile.
  • Project settings drawer — inline settings drawer replaces the old dedicated edit page, with accent colour picker, share toggle, and danger zone.
  • App renamed to YourTimeline — the application name has been updated across all user-facing surfaces.

Fixes

  • Share page data loading — public share pages now correctly hydrate entity data for mention chips, timeline items, and map pins. Previously, anonymous visitors saw empty content due to missing row-level security policies and uninitialized client-side stores.
FeatureImprovement

Changelog launched, plus caching and library improvements

Welcome to the YourTimeline changelog. From here you'll find a running record of what's new, what's improved, and what's been fixed in the app.

Features

  • Changelog — this page. Updates ship here whenever something notable lands.
  • Unified entity library — all entities (events, persons, locations, artifacts, verses) are now browsable and manageable from a single library view, including on mobile.

Improvements

  • Optimistic updates — timeline and project changes now feel instant. Updates are applied locally while the server catches up in the background, with automatic rollback on failure.
  • Timeline and project caching — navigating back to a timeline or project you've already visited is now immediate; cached data loads before a fresh fetch completes.
  • i18n coverage — all remaining hardcoded user-facing strings in the timeline and library views are now fully internationalised across English, Swedish, and Spanish.
