Right? \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t even actually work. \u00a0I thought it worked for a little while, then around the time I was designing the new version I noticed that it never changed, never kept up&#8230; It was broken to the core. \u00a0WordKeeper 2.0 is going to start off with 4 graphs! \u00a0Not 2. \u00a0Not 3. \u00a0But 4! \u00a0 They&#8217;re not powered by some crappy code that I just threw together, but powered by Highcharts, an awesome javascript graphing library that I&#8217;m acquiring at no small cost to myself. \u00a0I mean that&#8230; That shit is expensive, but you guys are worth it. \u00a0Here are the graphs you&#8217;ll see right at the beginning:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/newHome2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/newHome2-1024x489.png\" alt=\"New Graph 1\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/yearGraph.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/yearGraph.png\" alt=\"Yearly Graph\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/goalGraph.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/goalGraph.png\" alt=\"Monthly Goal Graph\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gone mildly crazy in the data generation for those bad boys, and you&#8217;ll be able to do a lot of neat things with them that you can&#8217;t see in a jpeg. \u00a0Enough of that though. \u00a0Next up is goals! \u00a0Goals is the section of the site that I&#8217;m currently working on and just got the initial code working for. \u00a0Here&#8217;s how the goals look right now:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/oldGoalsProjects.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"outline\" src=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/oldGoalsProjects.png\" alt=\"Old Goals\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the new hotness!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/goalsProjects.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http:\/\/seth-swanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/goalsProjects-1024x443.png\" alt=\"Goals and Projects\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I used the word &#8216;hotness&#8217;. \u00a0Shut up. \u00a0I&#8217;m excited. \u00a0 I&#8217;m still working on a few of the features for the new goals, but already they are much better than the old ones. \u00a0Soon, you&#8217;ll be able to update your other goals automatically, or individually (which is a huge pain.) \u00a0 Once I have the bugs worked out of goals I&#8217;ll tackle Projects, which will be a beast all on its own. \u00a0You can see what to expect up above.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I still have a ton of work left to do. \u00a0A lot of the code is working only in the sense that\u00a0<strong>I<\/strong>\u00a0know how to use it without breaking things, so there&#8217;s going to be a lot of debugging.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for all of my current users, I have an important question. \u00a0I&#8217;m sick of the old version being online, generally being ugly and not up to my new standards. \u00a0What would you think if I put up version 2.0 in beta form BEFORE I get the Projects code done? \u00a0I&#8217;d essentially be turning you all into beta testers, but you&#8217;d honestly get a LOT more utility out of it, even if I were to put it up now. \u00a0I&#8217;m certainly willing to work with you and set up projects for you behind the scenes (until the code works). \u00a0I&#8217;d ask that you report any errors that you find, but it would probably speed up development and final deployment a LOT&#8230;and it would get the eyesore that is WKA 1.0 off the internet. \u00a0I&#8217;d really like to know, so please, post a comment here if you have an opinion.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Sorry about any breakage that the current WKA is suffering. \u00a0Publishing the new version will help with that! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its been a while since I posted anything specific on WordKeeperAlpha, so I thought I&#8217;d update everyone on exactly how its going and how far away 2.0 is.
