Version 0.3.0 of Braindump Released
I am excited to announce the release of version 0.3.0 of Braindump. This release contains few new features, but some pretty big changes have happened with the way that Braindump is being deployed.
New Features
- Switched to using Prose Mirror instead of ACE. I have been super impressed with Prose Mirror and I think that it will make the writing experience on Braindump much better.
UX
- New Logo (thank you Songbing :))
Ops and Dev
- Switched to NPM for Javascript Dependency Management
- Completely Dockerized the application using Docker Compose, CircleCI and Quay.io, each git tag is now being automatically deployed to production while each master build is building an image.
- Completely Switched to Python 3 (3.5 to be exact). Props to Ricardo for always trolling me about living in the past.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
