v0.8.0

A new home for your plans

Luke opens on a composer for a new plan, beside a sidebar that lists your plans newest first. The sidebar resizes, folds away with ⌘B, and opens Settings from one account button at its foot. Rename a plan, or delete it after a standard confirmation, from one plan menu in the toolbar's ⋯ or a right-click in the sidebar. (#1826, #1827, #1831, #1835, #1836, #1842, #1847, #1856)

The new-plan composer beside the sidebar of plans, one plan's right-click menu open on Rename, Reveal in Finder, Change folder, and Delete plan.

A side panel for the board, the code, and the transcript

A plan's whiteboard, the code Luke shows, and the transcript of what was said now sit in a right side panel with tabs. The panel runs full height, goes full screen, and opens by itself the first time Luke draws or shows code in a plan. Luke draws on the whiteboard as he talks, lays it out by Excalidraw's guides, then looks at what he drew and fixes what he sees.

The side panel full screen on the whiteboard Luke drew for a plan: the flow from a member's invite to the teammate joining or the link being refused.

Luke as a planning teammate

Luke plans with you rather than interviewing you: he takes notes live, doesn't assume you already know what you want to build, and opens each call on what was said on the plan's earlier calls. He hands slow work to a background worker and tells you its result at a natural pause, and Stop cancels that work too. (#1792, #1813, #1815, #1817, #1820, #1824, #1825)

The Transcript tab, where today's call opens on what was settled yesterday and Luke reports a background worker's finding at a pause.
