# Changelog

All notable changes to TextCove are documented here, newest first.
Dates follow the project commit history.

## 2026-10-09

- Desktop PWA install: open `.txt` files straight into the app (`file_handlers`), receive shared text/links (`share_target`), handle `web+textcove` links (`protocol_handlers`) and reuse the open window (`launch_handler`).
- Subtle "App available" notice in the footer instead of a button. It triggers the native install prompt when the browser offers one, otherwise it explains how to install manually. The notice hides itself once the app runs installed.
- Shared text and launched files open as new notes.

## 2026-10-07

- Ownership transferred from 2nul to hmkk69; repo links and site domain updated (`tc.hmkkk.qzz.io`).

## 2026-10-04

- **Breaking:** renamed SimpleJot to TextCove across UI, manifest, PWA cache, docs and links.
- Existing notes carry over: IndexedDB and localStorage keys migrate from `SimpleJot-*` to `TextCove-*`.
- Dismissible rename banner plus a `renamed.html` landing page.
- Oversized-note guard: backup-before-clear flow so a huge note can no longer freeze the page.

## 2026-10-03

- Storage: race-safe note switching, persistent trash with 30-day expiry and click-to-undo, one-tap backup with free-space status.
- UX: shared ease-out motion curve, deep-slate dark mode with light default, footer keeps only the offline tip.
- Notes list loads in a single IndexedDB pass and searches titles plus content; file names sanitized, import size/count capped.
- Hardened service worker caching and manifest `start_url`.

## 2026-09-20

- Fixed service worker auto-update: online clients check for a newer worker on load and reconnect, then swap to it.

## 2026-09-19

- Rewrote the note engine: dropped FileSaver/Smoke/Countable for native download, native `<dialog>` and a hand-written counter.
- Added search, sort, pins, markdown preview, keyboard shortcuts and JSON import/export.
- localStorage fallback when IndexedDB is blocked; installable offline-first PWA with build-stamped service worker cache.
- License changed to non-commercial attribution (see `LICENSE`).

## 2026-09-16

- Migrated notes from localStorage to IndexedDB with realtime autosave.
- Offline use via service worker cache.
- New notes default to "New note" so empty titles can no longer lose data.

## 2026-09-12

- Multi-note management: notes panel, per-note autosave, rename via title field, per-note delete, last-open note restored; legacy single-note data auto-migrated.
- Note naming warning on startup.
- Initial commit.
