![vO.11.0-beta.1
New since v0.10:
+ Added support for displaying local video, audio, and paf files.
+ Added support for displaying Mermaid Diagrams inside of Code blocks.
+ Added the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts throughout Tangent.
+ Added support for checked & enabled status for note formatting commands.
+ Added tooltips for files in the sidebar.
+ Added a "copy section" button to the line gutter. Code, math, and front-matter
blocks copy their contents. Hold "Shift" to copy the entire syntax tree.
+ Added support for copying local • png & . jpeg files directly to the clipboard.
+ Added support for navigating the sidebar with keyboard keys and invoking
"rename" via a shortcut.
New since alpha 4:
+ Added support for embedding a preview of PDFs, both local and remote.
+ Added support for custom shortcuts for Creation Rules.
+ Updated the icon for macOS Tahoe.
+ Added support for specifying a folder over a note with a trailing /.
+ Added support for custom titles in markdown links.
+ Added support for nested & escaped brackets [] in markdown links.
- Fixed an issue where the "copy" gutter action would be cut off by moving it to the
right side.
- Fixed an issue where key codes were used as shortcuts, breaking shortcuts with
non-US keyboard layouts.
- Fixed an issue where directory-based search matches could be prioritized over
direct filename matches.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n2ayehz3jgkbw7uj5hnger6z/bafkreia3fgm2ywnzv3or6wr6ug66sivordcspd573ejljf7z772lniejua@jpeg)
The loss of "compact mode" in Safari in MacOS 26 is a tragedy. The new design gobbles vertical space and just doesn't look great.
I'm probably going to switch completely to Zen if this isn't eventually rectified.

Now that a stable release of @tangentnotes.bsky.social is out and I'm going to a party, I'm sure a really nasty bug is going to jump out of the woodwork.
That's how it works, right?

I've been using my thumb to operate my macbook's trackpad more and more while typing. The "click anywhere" nature of the surface makes it actually possible, even comfortable!

The budget cuts to NOAA/NWS, while stupid, did not cause this tragedy. The system worked. I live in the general area. My phone has been going off all weekend.
The problem: the Kerrville flood happened in 20 minutes, at night.

Wildly terrible take by @gruber.foo regarding “ChatGPT reefer madness.” The story provided proves how easily turned to junk LLMs are. OpenAI is on the hook for the drivel their tools produce.

Playing with my Apple Vision Pro again to get the beta on it. It's been _months_ since I put it on, and I'm still totally struck by how damned cool this thing is.
I'm typing this on my Mac _through passthrough_. I can see better in the AVP than without my glasses on. It's just cool.

Does anybody else feel anxiety about pushing out software that _seems_ totally stable to the actual stable branch?
Every time I do this, somebody finds something nasty 😆

So if you follow me, you'll know that I have a terrible habit of working on tools instead of gameplay. But here's a cool visual.
Basically, I was tired of programming animation sequences by hand/consts, so I wrote something that extends my animation selector for cycles.

I absolutely hate that windows decided to use backslashes as a directory delimiter.
Windows is consistently the worst part of making software.
