Matrix Writer Changelog

What's new in Matrix Writer 2.0

• Architecture refactor:
• Writer was started quickly to prove my ideas of create a convenience offline blog/post editor, even the architecture was optimized after I proved my ideas were possible to be implemented I did designed the arcitecture carefully, but after more and more features I found there many part can be optimized, especially after I created Matrix UI (A GUI library), I hope more and more can be reused, then I decided to do architecture refactor. The new architecture made Matrix Writer more componentized, this helps me provide more features in following release and provide better performance.
• Performance improvements:
• We all expect an application could execute as fast as possible, I keep trying to improve the performance of Matrix Writer. The new architecture optimized the code execution efficency. In the version, Matrix Writer switch to SQLite database to store posts, instead of store posts in files, this accelerate the bootup speed and easy to tell how many posts you have, how many words you totally wrote.
• UI optimizations:
• By componentized the architecture, Matrix Writer utilized Matrix UI KIT which an Angular based UI KIT, this provides more consistence UI and user experience. There are many UI tweaks as well, so when I writing this post, I almost forget what are these changes. Here are some of the major changes
• A frameless main window style is used, the can give you more working space
• A new main Menu is used with the frameless window
• A standard status bar is used to display Writer version and Words Count
• Welcome widgets layout tweak
