Manual card order for decks & default orders

Within decks you’re now able to select a sort order called “Manual”. This allows you to drag cards around to give them an order that makes sense to you. This order is shared within your team and affects also open decks.

To make things easier for your team, you can also pick a default order option for a deck, be it the manual order, grouping by milestone or any other order option we’re offering. This allows you to guide both team members as well as visitors of open decks to see a deck in a way you’d prefer them to see it.

Open Decks

This release allows you to mark a project of yours as public. You can enter a path name and it’ll be visible for everyone under open.codecks.io/your-name. Go to your project settings to find the corresponding options. You have the option to hide comments for visitors. In any case, visitors will have read-only access only. The deck order for public projects is shared for all team members and can be modified by admins via drag and drop. We’ve been in touch with some of you already and are excited to present some real-life examples soon! We’re also planning to set up an open development portal under open.codecks.io to allow people browsing Open Decks on Codecks.

Inline Images

You’re now able easily embed images into your card content:

• While editing, copy and paste an image and it will be uploaded and shown in place. It’s also added as an attachment.
• To reference an already uploaded attachment: while editing, hit !. You now can pick an attachment.

Note that this also works for comments. This will make it a lot more straight forward to communicate about visual aspects of your projects!

Journeys are now in Beta!

After working and iterating for a few months, we believe Journeys are now ready to be released!

So what exactly are Journeys you ask? Well, Journeys allow you to define a set of recurring steps for your workflows. Once enabled, you can find a new button in your deck headers (Note: the icon is still based on the working title of this feature “Potion”, we’ll be updating it soon!). With the new Journey view you’re able to define your Journey steps and assign default properties like owner, deck, effort, etc to them. Once your steps are ready, any card within this deck will have a Start Journey button. This will turn the card into a Hero card and create all the Journey’s steps as sub cards.

Modern Emoji support 🪅🦤🪄

This releases features an upgrade from v4.0 to all of today’s sweetness from v13. Including proper support for skin tones, gendered and non-gendered Emojis, as well as the latest additions to the standard 🦦.

The new Emoji set is provided by Twitter’s (Twemoji)[https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/], so the look has changed a little.

We also had to update our editor’s Emoji picker (initiated by typing :). Instead of using short codes, we now rely on keywords to find relevant Emojis. This will provide more relevant results when typing :kiss for example.
