Asides, Today and a faster thread

Write to a teammate while it works and it answers on the side, without stopping. Home becomes Today, with your rules and a daily pass from Chief. Threads stream smoothly and show what you send at once, and library files can be shared with a link.

Highlights

  • Asides. Write to a teammate while it works: it answers on the side without stopping its turn, and its answers sit together in one card above the Working line.#646#651#661#662#678
  • Today. Home is now Today: a line that sums up the day, the routines that run today, and what needs you.#621#603
  • Your rules and a daily pass. Write your rules in Preferences, under Chief. Once a day, Chief goes through what waits on you and says on Today what it would do with each item. For now it only recommends.#744#768
  • A faster thread. Replies stream smoothly, a message shows the moment you send it, a new thread appears in the sidebar at once, and the Working line has a pebble whose eyes follow the step.#698#648#717#722#701
  • Share library files. Share a document, a design or any library file with a public link.#779
  • Dictation. Dictate a message in any message box, on Brigade Cloud.#691

Improvements

  • Keyboard in the sidebar. ⌥↑ and ⌥↓ walk the sidebar’s threads, and Enter folds or unfolds a row’s lists and sub-threads.#715#725#728
  • Mentions. Type @ to mention any thread, and open a thread from its mention.#730
  • Routines and Playbooks. Routines read as an agenda by next run, with each routine’s latest runs as dots. Playbooks have a page of their own.#711#614
  • Board. Filters as pills, each card’s next wake-up, and its project beside the teammate.#612#615#669
  • Inbox. Filters move into the search box, mail reads as plain text with its HTML on demand, and a picker says who has a conversation.#602#630#655
  • New Apps. Expo and RevenueCat are built in. RevenueCat connects by signing in.#679#667#693
  • Lists and the editor. New workspaces start with a Getting started list, a file dropped on a line goes with it to its teammate, and the editor selects whole lines and drags them into toggles, as in Notion.#689#738#638#748
  • Projects. A project is one page with its lists and what runs on its own, and its settings have a setup checklist.#600#601
  • Getting started. Four quick questions during onboarding shape Chief’s first message.#726
  • Usage. Share the period’s usage as an image.#704
  • Signed out. When a turn fails because an AI account is signed out, sign in again from the thread.#652#656
  • Tasks make way for lists. The Tasks board is gone: lists and threads do its job. Child threads are called sub-threads, and teammates’ email addresses are part of Brigade Cloud.#740#644#682

Security

  • Secrets and deletions. Secrets are masked in a thread’s steps before they are stored, and deleting a workspace or an account asks for a code sent by email.#685#733

Fixes

  • Turns. A turn tried again after its process stopped keeps its message, and a turn no longer stays open waiting on background work that isn’t running.#599#767
  • Previews. Previews keep running through runner updates, and one closed page no longer hangs a preview.#762#743
  • Sessions. The browser’s session is renewed with the session itself, so you stay signed in.#710

Brigade.app

  • 0.3.4 to 0.3.11. A New thread shortcut (⌘⇧1) and a menu with the actions on top, Esc closes the screenshot window, Check for updates says what it found, no Dock icon, and a Workspace submenu to switch the Mac between linked workspaces. Teammates can run a command on the Mac through Brigade Computer Use.#623#616#607#613#695#716#636
