Hookmark 5 Public Beta 1 available for testing

Thank you. it being xmas eve,I can’t roll out a video tonight. But I have published this:

which has some notes that I hope will answer your questions. A video will be better screenshots are not enough, it’s subtle for current users. But a big improvement current users’ habits change. It blew my mind how helpful the change was.

For new users , Hookmark will behave as it should have from Day 1, so they don’t need to know the past.

I expect onboarding to be faster for new users. (Many users immediately understood Hookmark, but a % of users were slowed down by the design. The design had the advantage of being super fast once you get the hang of it. The new design adds a step ( focusing). BUT it preserves the old keyboard shortcuts, so once new users get into the swing of Hookmark, they too will be able to use the advanced direct commands that do not require focusing. I will explain more later).

I wish we had thought of this initially. Better late than never!

OK. Perhaps CogSci Apps can provide an option for button size. The bigger size is for onboarding and older and vision-impaired customers who like bigger buttons (we had received requests for them). We will also likely commission some new icons across the board.

I am closing this topic so that we focus on Beta 2, as Beta 1 is now over. Let’s continue in the new topic.
