Redkeep changelog

Chrome updates extensions without asking, so this is where you find out what changed. The version beside each entry is the one your browser shows on the extensions page.

  1. 1.2.0

    • Nothing here changes what the extension can reach: no new permission, no new site, no re-authorisation prompt.
    • The auto-filing allowance says where you stand before a run starts, signed in or not — the first 200 notes are free, and when your library is bigger than that it says how many are waiting. The same line names the Pro price and opens the pricing page.
    • When the free allowance runs out, the button on the wall says the price and takes you straight to checkout, instead of leaving you on the pricing page to find it.
    • Keyboard focus shows now. Buttons, text boxes, menus and selects draw a ring when you reach them with Tab — they never did before. Along with it: the confirm dialog and the command palette take their full width on a desktop screen, a destructive menu item no longer doubles its tint in dark mode, and menu rows and select options show a pointer.
    • Thinner scrollbars across the popup, the side panel and the organiser tab.
  2. 1.1.0

    • The organiser grid grew a keyboard. Arrow keys move a cursor through the cards, x or backspace files the selection, and a shortcuts panel lists every key it answers to — including the switch that turns the single-key ones off if they get in the way of something else you type.
    • Where you are in the tree is now in the address bar, so a refresh, a back button or a reopened tab puts you back in the folder you were in rather than at the top of the library.
    • The move dialog is the folder tree itself, not a separate list of it. Click a row to pick that destination, use its + to start a new folder inside it, and the root is a row like any other — moving something there is what "file it nowhere" means. The dialog also stopped squeezing the tree into eight rows.
    • Search over notes runs on a real index now: BM25 ranking, and Chinese matched by character pairs rather than by whole words, so a query lands the same way in either language. Two notes that score alike are ordered newest first, and that nudge is bounded — a weak match cannot ride recency to the top of the page.
    • Auto-filing budgets its run by the clock instead of by a page count, which spends the same minute on more of your library, and it files in batches of a hundred. When a run finishes it offers you the export, because the folder tree it just built lives only in this browser.
    • Buy Pro and the wall in front of auto-filing comes down immediately instead of waiting for a cached answer to expire, and the monthly fair-use ceiling now says on the wall itself where to go next.
    • Sign in on the website and the extension notices without being reopened. A library change made in one surface — popup, side panel, organiser tab — now shows up in the others while they are open.
    • Typography and chrome: a display face across the three surfaces, the language switch collapsed into one button beside the theme button (the settings gear is gone), body text on the data page back to a size larger than its own headings, a popup that no longer runs into Chrome's 600px ceiling, and a search box that lets an input method finish a word before the Enter key means anything.
    • The Chrome Web Store listing now reads in Simplified Chinese as well as English, title included — Chrome picks the one matching your browser's language.
  3. 1.0.0

    • First public release.
    • Harvests your whole saved collection into the browser a page at a time, around RedNote's own rate limits. It runs on alarms, so closing the panel, closing the tab or restarting Chrome does not lose the progress — and once it has finished, checking for new saves only walks the front of the list.
    • Search across every saved title and author as you type, filter by author or media type, and search one folder or its whole subtree.
    • Folders you build yourself: create, rename, nest and move them, then rubber-band a batch in the grid and file the lot in one pass. The organiser tab browses the tree like a file manager.
    • Save or unsave a post inside RedNote and the library follows within seconds — no re-harvest.
    • Covers are cached locally, because the links RedNote hands out expire within hours.
    • Back up the whole library to one JSON file and import it on another machine. The data page also undoes an auto-filing run, empties the folder tree, re-fetches covers and resets everything — each button says what survives it.
    • Auto-filing, the paid tier: it reads titles and authors and files them into your folder tree, reusing the folders you already made. One undo returns the whole run. A free account gets its first 200 notes filed, and everything else here needs no account at all.
    • Three surfaces — popup, side panel and a full organiser tab — in English and Chinese, light and dark.
