nvALT 1.0.4: custom colors, social sharing - BrettTerpstra.com

Ronn 14y, 83d ago

Noobie here, so be gentle.

Am liking the idea of publishing to a peg.gd but cannot seem to figure out the process for doing so.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi Ronn

Just open the Preview window (and make sure you have an appropriate Preview mode selected) under the Preview menu. Then you'll see a "Share" button at the bottom of the preview window. That will share the currently rendered preview using Peggd, and copy the short url to your clipboard. It will also pop up a button to load it in a browser immediately.

Brett,

Got it now.

Thanks for the reply and instructions!

Way cool feature.

Thank you for your work on Notational Velocity. With the new version, the text is showing up as white in the title and tags columns. I can't see what I'm typing until I move out of the field. I'm having trouble changing it so that the text shows in black. It's showing up fine in the body of the note however. This was something that cropped up with 1.0.4.

This has been corrected, as well as a couple of crashers, and an interim release will be out very soon.

Greatly appreciate your work on nvALT. I just accidentally published a page on peg.gd. For a future feature, would it be possible to set a password as part of a peg.gd post? That would make sharing better, and permit deleting. Thanks!

Me too. I guess I should have read the blog post before doing anything. I clicked the share button and later read that I just put my note on some web site. Maybe a confirm dialog the first time? Didn't accidentally reveal intimate secrets, just a blog post in progress, luckily.

Yep, that's definitely the next step for the sharing. Once we get the custom API for nvALT wrapped up, that should follow very shortly.

Right-to-left is rather buggy on my machine:

What are you expecting it to look like? I ask only because I'm using the default RTL mode and I don't actually write in (or know the least bit about) any RTL languages. I know English isn't one of the ones it's supposed to work with, though :).

Notice that the left margin is clipped, with no horizontal scrollbar to reveal it. Either all the text should be wrapped and visible within the content area, or there should be scrollbars.

I see. I don't know why it's doing that offhand, but I will look into it. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks great!

Two small things:

•note list and note view don't quite line up with each other on against the status bar: http://d.pr/3kyc.

•have you thought about three-fingered swipe to go up/down in notes list? could be cool...

Thanks much.

On the first one: I know, I tried forever to get it to work. The problem is that in order to get the single grey line up the middle, I have to border either the notes list or the edit area. I didn't want a double grey line, and things broke if I expanded the panel 1px below the bottom bar, so I ended up just "dealing with it." If I can fix it moving forward, I'd love to.

On the second: I hadn't thought about it, mostly because I've never looked into programming multi-touch gestures. I'll do a little research and add it to the list, though.

I had the same problem with the left pane when I forked Steven Franks fork (that sounds dirty...). It's a pain, no worries if doesn't work.

Thanks for your awesome work.
