What's New
Development log — every feature, improvement, and milestone.
Groups & tags in the sidebar, renaming, and a big stability fix
- Groups and Tags now live in the left sidebar alongside Characters — see everything at a glance, with "All" opening full management
- Rename groups and tags — the name is now editable, not just the note
- Click any character in the sidebar list to open its details, no need to hunt for the node on the canvas
- Teach the auto-coloring: pick a color and "apply to all" — every relationship with that label, now and in future, takes the color
- Sign in directly from the My Works dialog when you are not logged in yet
- Squashed a runaway performance bug that could spike CPU and freeze or crash the editor on some charts — the editor stays smooth now
Mutual arrows, custom colors & a color guide
- Mutual relationships — a "Mutual" toggle draws one double-headed arrow for two-way bonds, instead of forcing you to draw two identical arrows
- Per-relationship color picker — keep your own labels and set any line color yourself, with a hint of which colors are already in use
- New color guide — a "?" in the Relationships legend shows exactly which keywords map to which color
- Fixed the Groups / Tags entry that stayed hidden until you already had one — the classic chicken-and-egg trap
- Smoother node highlight — no more scaling up and snapping back when a node lights up
Homepage feature videos + editor polish
- Homepage now plays real screen-recording demos for each feature — drag & connect, AI chart builder, and share & export
- Carousel auto-advances when the video finishes; hover pauses playback with a live progress bar
- Undo / Redo (Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z) — 15-step history stack so you can always recover a mistake
- Undo and Redo buttons added to the canvas toolbar above the save button
- AI chat no longer truncates long messages — full input is shown in the conversation
- Saving an untitled chart on mobile now shows a toast prompt instead of silently failing
- Cover image in the sidebar now shows in full aspect-fit instead of being cropped
License control & project visibility
- CC BY-NC 4.0 license toggle added to the editor sidebar — locked on for free users with a Pro upgrade prompt
