Ampersand
0.2.22
Publish a note to a secret web link — plus an in-app inbox, and the first anonymous usage count.
Publishing
What changed
- Publish any note to a secret, unguessable link on ampersand.page. Unpublishing only ever needs the link’s secret, never a valid license.
- Links expire after 90 days by default, and every published page is unconditionally noindex.
- A published-notes manager lists every live link, including orphans whose local file is gone.
- On-brand status pages, share images, and an apex redirect for the share domain.
- In-app notifications: a titlebar bell and inbox, fed by a hosted feed, so a notice can reach you without an app update.
- Anonymous usage telemetry — one daily ping with an install id, version, OS, tier, and a note count. No content, no paths, no keys; opt out in Settings.
- Groundwork for Windows: platform-aware path validation, shortcuts, and window chrome.
- The end-to-end test suite landed — browser-mode Playwright over a mocked Tauri IPC layer, plus a real-binary macOS smoke suite.
