Codex progress update:

You can now create Book Documents with fixed size pages, which can store page-sized images (scans) or regular editable text blocks.

I have a hunch that fixed-size Book Documents may prove more useful than free-form Documents at times.

Codex progress update:

Sticky tags!

You can now add coloured sticky tabs to the side of Codex documents for recording brief notes about the document.

E.g., you could put a checklist of work items for the document, questions to follow up, etc.

Codex progress update:

+ Instead of having to use modals or pop-ups you can now enter values directly into the context menu, as here where we change the name of a Page in the document ...

Here you can see the new Pages feature of Codex in action.

The text for Poe's The Raven is on the first page, while illustrations for it can be put on the second.

It allows us to keep both text and images together without cluttering up the document.

Codex progress update:

+ finished work on the new Pages feature 📄

+ add, delete, and move Pages inside a document, just like sheets in a spreadsheet

+ a document becomes more like a dossier 📄📂

Codex progress update:

I've always wanted to do this in Code!

You can now indent and de-indent Blocks along the positive and negative X axis.

Codex progress update:

+ added font colour styling
+ added background colour styling
+ added option to clear Block and Standoff styles
+ moved window themes into the context menu

Try doing this in Markdown, or in a HTML editor for that matter! 😀

Codex progress update:

You can now shift a block to the left or right through the context menu.

Makes playing with text and image alignment much quicker.

Working with the new split-block feature in Codex ...
