Following the release of Goplan Templater we have made a few changes to our API, namely:
We’re not done yet, either! Expect more API news over the next couple of days!
We’ve mentioned before that our clients have project templating needs. We’ve also mentioned that we’re working on it.
But while we’re working on building the features mentioned in the roadmap, we wouldn’t want to leave our users without a functionality that would make their work easier. So we’ve come up with a small desktop application that uses the Goplan Developer API to achieve this:
Goplan Templater
This morning we rolled an update to Goplan which included several changes to Goplan functionality. The first thing you’ll notice is that the dashboard changed quite a bit - and while we’re definitely not completely done with it yet, it is a little easier to parse. Design-wise, we also changed the way notes and project blog posts were shown.
File versioning: Included in the updates is a much-requested feature. You can now upload new versions of existing files without having to delete the first and uploading a new one, or using naming trickery. From the file list, you just need to pick “Upload new version” to upload a new version of a file - previous versions will be available in the “Previous versions” link.
Full feeds: We also rolled out full feeds for projects. Previously feeds didn’t show the content of updates to a project. You’d see something along the lines of “Note created” in the title of the feed item, but couldn’t see the note directly in the reader (same is true for other kinds of content). Now the feeds show full content, so you don’t need to open your browser to see updates.
We also made significant updates to the back-end system that you may not notice, but make it easier to keep rolling incremental updates to Goplan more often, so you’ll likely see some of your minor requests (that we’ve been getting through email and the feedback system - thanks!) get done much quicker. As always, let us know if you find any issues, and enjoy the updates!
