What's new.

July 3, 2026

• NewThis changelog — everything that has shipped, in one place.
• NewThe app now shows its version number in the landing-page footer and on your Account page. It links here.

June 30, 2026

• NewPick a display name on the Account page. It shows up everywhere your email used to — collaboration invites, the collaborators list, and feed bylines.
• ImprovedThe built-in example story now shows off tabbed Bible notes, so you can see how tabs work before splitting your own.
• FixedThe real-time collaboration server no longer restarts itself during an intentional shutdown.

June 27, 2026

• NewA reference sidebar in the Bible and Storyboard workspaces keeps your characters, notes, and manuscript outline one click away while you work.
• ImprovedIn-app feedback (the floating Bug/Idea button) is now saved permanently on the server, so a report can never get lost in transit.

June 23, 2026

The biggest release since launch: a place to share your writing, plus a batch of craft tools for the revision phase.

• NewCommunity feed — share a scene or a freeform passage as a snippet, and read, like, and comment on what other writers post.
• NewCertified membership — share three snippets and take the originality pledge to earn a certified seal, and post to a certified-members-only audience.
• NewScene status — mark scenes draft / revised / final, tag them with POV and location, and filter the Board and Timeline by status.
• NewManuscript goal — set a total word target and an optional deadline; the writer shows progress and the daily pace needed to hit it.
• NewOutline tab — a clickable chapter/section outline in the writer sidebar, built from your headings. Click to jump.
• NewTrash — deleting a story now moves it to a Trash page where it can be restored for 30 days before it's gone for good.
• NewDark mode — four themes (Paper, Ink, Sepia, Slate) on the Account page. Your choice sticks, with no flash on reload.
• NewComments on Bible items — leave threaded comments on any character, world note, or plot point, not just the manuscript.
• ImprovedePub export now splits your manuscript into real chapters on each big heading, with a title page and table of contents. Print/PDF starts each chapter on a fresh page too.

June 10, 2026

• ImprovedThe landing page was rebuilt from scratch — animated previews of all four workspaces, feature highlights, and a look that finally matches the app.

June 3, 2026

• NewNotes on characters, world entries, plot points, and scenes can be split into named tabs — Personality, Backstory, whatever fits.
• NewA formatting toolbar on those notes: bold, italic, highlight, and bullet/numbered lists.
• NewHighlighting in the manuscript writer, synced live to collaborators and carried through to share links, print, and exports.
• ImprovedThe “Manage tags” button now sits next to the tags it manages instead of floating at the far edge of the screen.

June 2, 2026

• NewAttach a reference image to any character, location, plot point, or scene. Images show on cards, the public share page, and print.
• ImprovedA big mobile and accessibility pass: workspaces adapt to small screens, the writer's notes slide over instead of squeezing, kanban columns snap-scroll, and keyboards can drag cards.

May 25, 2026

• NewContinue with Google, as an alternative to email magic links. Same account either way — they link up by email address.
• FixedWhen a sign-in email fails to send, you now get a clear explanation instead of a generic server error page.

May 23, 2026

• ImprovedThe app has a real name: Inkwell is now Tales & Fables, live at talesnfables.com.
• ImprovedThe landing page grew to cover everything the studio actually does — all four workspaces, collaboration, exports, and daily prompts.
