App Store Edition ——
from v1.0 to now, recorded Sprint by Sprint.
from v1.0 to now, recorded Sprint by Sprint.
Platform port, architecture unification, front-end refactor, weaving the test net, new-feature development.
Real user feedback × UI redesign × Hotfix · thank you, foreglint · S131–135 → v2.12.0
Sprint 13507·18Redesigned the screen-capture permission-granting UI · v2.12.0 submitted for review.
Sprint 13407·18Redesigned the selection mental model
Sprint 13307·18Fixed OCR · auto privacy masking · QR scanning — three features rooted out for the App Store sandbox build · v2.11.3 hotfix submitted for review.
Sprint 13207·16Global shortcuts for long screenshot · color picker · ruler, plus a menu-bar tray menu · fixed ruler drift on Retina
Sprint 13107·13Experiment: fixing the ghosting from pinned elements in long screenshots (Spike)
Spike × weaving the net × new-feature build · feeling our way through the unknown · S114–130 → v2.11.0
Sprint 13007·12Clean up the faint white rectangle left by the pin-to-top / back-to-top buttons in long screenshots (Spike). v2.11.0 submitted for review.
Sprint 12907·12Toolbar default layout rearranged ＋ delay switched to a button group, fixing the copy-paste lockup.
Sprint 12807·11Ruler measurement upgrade — point-to-point distance, select-and-delete, undo/redo.
Sprint 12707·11Ruler edge-snap precision polish — hug the true edge, don’t bite into the text.
Sprint 12607·11Erase the repeated fixed elements inside long screenshots (back-to-top, day/night toggle…).
Sprint 12507·11Long-screenshot wrap-up — fill in the page footer, long-image view in the editor, button changed to “find browser” for one-click access.
Sprint 12407·11Long-screenshot auto-scroll engine formalized, seam stitching settled for good.
Sprint 12307·11Auto-scroll via the Accessibility permission — even pages that require login can be captured.
Sprint 12207·11Fix the breathing-light shadow left behind during capture.
Sprint 12107·10Long screenshot goes live.
Sprint 12007·10Scrolling-capture stitching feasibility check (Spike).
Sprint 11907·10Ruler debut — drag a box, it auto-snaps to edges, measures the pixel distance, bakes it into the image.
Sprint 11807·09Pixel-ruler feasibility check — laying the foundation for a measurement tool (Spike).
Sprint 11707·08Full-screen color picker goes live ＋ icon-only toolbar redesign — the eyedropper grabs the exact hex of any pixel, recent colors shared across windows.
Sprint 11607·08Cross-screen rectangle capture — trying to drag a box across multiple displays (Spike).
Sprint 11507·07Freeze-frame capture — rectangle capture freezes the screen instantly; the loupe magnifies the frozen pixels, release to drop straight into the editor.
Sprint 11407·06Crop magnifier — a loupe zooms in as you drag the capture box, so you see every pixel.
Weave · refactor and new features interwoven · process and dev outlook renewed · S105–113 → v2.10.0
Sprint 11307·05Text editing landed and settled for good — re-edit／flip keep the style · Esc commits the current state · clicking blank space lands and converges. v2.10.0 submitted for review.
Sprint 11207·04Double-click to drill into a group and edit a single member (drill-in, three-layer focus · orange frame)
Sprint 11107·04Fix: undo granularity for consecutive deletions · undo／redo round-trip net (internal)
Sprint 11007·04Fix: arrow-key nudge after switching to a drawing tool with the selection kept · selection state-machine gate-and-reconcile (internal)
Sprint 10907·03Magnifier sampling calibrated inside tilted groups
Sprint 10807·03Group PowerPoint-style rotation — turn the whole group, visible and preserved · tilted groups can be clicked, dragged, scaled · ungrouping keeps the tilt
Sprint 10707·02Export-pipeline invariant net ＋ Rust export-core extraction spike (internal · hardening the shipping core)
Sprint 10607·02Toolbar breathing-light state-machine interaction net · orb cross-screen follow fix
Sprint 10506·30Groups arrive — multiple objects combine into a group (groupId as the selection unit) · whole-group scaling (8 handles, proportional) · per-object rotation for brush / polyline
Weaving ③ Panel-projection fidelity · Closing the net · S93–104 → 🏁
Sprint 10406·28Support for opening SVG files · load vector graphics as the annotation backdrop. v2.9.0 submitted for review.
Sprint 10306·28🏁 Milestone — Converged the load path into one complete steward, readAnnot — CI went live; every change automatically runs through thousands of nets, red caught on the spot; exhaustive checking no longer needs anyone to remember.
Sprint 10206·28Converged each tool’s attribute set into a single source-of-truth table — the attribute panel aligned with the code for the first time, and for the first time could be exhaustively enumerated by the test net.
Sprint 10106·27magnify·callout fall in line onto the main trunk, all twelve types now run through schema — projection layer topped out; what the panel shows and what the worktable stores converge into one truth, physically impossible to diverge again.
Sprint 10006·27Callout fill unified + symbol onto the main trunk (9→10 types fall in line); two acceptance waves, all four gaps byte-identical.
Sprint 9906·27symbol fill projection unified (color + opacity into one projection); an opening-bell reversal — "registered ≠ projectable" — textDeco ruled to stay on the surface, not projected.
Sprint 9806·26Value-projection surface tops out (corner-radius folded in; font-size and font each get their own ruling) + display-state projection first cut; added the sister pure function computePanelState.
Sprint 9706·25Stroke special-case tail — three types folded in (text direct surface / number dedup / symbol side-path cleared); the stroke family's delegated-projection surface tops out.
Sprint 9606·25Mirror line — object→panel readAnnot fidelity net, all 12 types round-trip; interaction tests grew from 58 to 154 cases.
Sprint 9506·24Outline thickness / opacity / offset — three columns gathered; the stroke values' clean tail all into central projection, Stack A sealed.
Sprint 9406·24Stroke dash and color delegated-projection collapsed into the central pure function; built the schemaSyncToUI seam for later reuse.
Sprint 9306·24Extracted the computePanelValues pure function — first cut at panel-projection fidelity; the direct projection surface lands, a zero-DOM red-net conservation identity.
Weaving ② Construction-layer schema · Custom styles · S71–92 → v2.8
Sprint 9206·23Toolbar highlight converged to "whichever modal is open"; polyline preview and Tray breathing-light fixed. v2.8.0 submitted to the App Store — Custom Styles ships
Sprint 9106·23Text-positioning debt cleared — underline/strikethrough auto-align to the font; non-default fonts measured correctly, selection box wraps fully
Sprint 9006·22Custom Styles release polish — callout gradient text plus decoration/font memory; styles apply with no gaps
Sprint 8906·22Two-cut panel-sync convergence — single paint source + read-only attribute mirroring (BUG-038 fixed)
Sprint 8806·21Text working-state structured and consolidated; 17-store registry unified; round-trip drift net truly green
Sprint 8706·21Custom Styles single-source-of-truth consolidation — six panel-sync patches reduced to zero, false-green eliminated
Sprint 8606·21Custom Styles batch-2 completed: rename, replace contents, apply a style to existing objects (paid edition)
Sprint 8506·21Drag-overlay eight-station unification — five marquee tools × six shape tools under one geometry roof
Sprint 8406·20Brand color now persists across sessions; drag-overlay eight-station state machine validated by spike
Sprint 8306·20Editor snapping math refactored into pure functions (_computeSnap); Shift-lock deduplicated
Sprint 8206·20Renderer-layer cleanup; custom screenshot shortcut fixed (BUG-029); renderer.js renamed to toolbar.js
Sprint 8106·19Tauri framework upgrade arc, station 1 — tauri 2.11.3 / xcap 0.9 / printpdf 0.9 landed across three verified waves
Sprint 8006·19Custom-styles panel projection wrap-up — fixed BUG-033 and extracted symbol lookup
Sprint 7906·19Custom-styles engine wrap-up — thickness/caps routing extracted, chain-idempotency net completed
Sprint 7806·19Custom-styles UI opened for all tools — 6 types completed + i18n dead-key cleanup
Sprint 7706·185 tool types' build() migrated — all 13 tools support custom styles at the engine layer
Sprint 7606·18Custom styles MVP — right-click to save a style, apply via dropdown
Sprint 7506·17Rendering-layer trio — unlocked dashes & shadows, completed tests for the 5 missing renderers
Sprint 7406·17W2 polyline promotion — upgraded to a true tool with unified shortcut gestures
Sprint 7306·16W1 construction layer converged — 7 tool types' build() unified into TOOL_SCHEMA
Sprint 7206·15W1 schema-ization spike — construction-layer design finalized, test net built
Sprint 7106·14applyResize action-layer inventory — structural consolidation of the resize sibling components
