Date Search and Infrastructure Improvements
Almost two years ago, Chris opened an issue to add the ability to search by date, and it took me until last week to finally implement it. 🙈
Not because it was particularly hard, but because I couldn’t find a nice way to present the UI, so I kept postponing it. Eventually, I came up with a compromise that’s also an improvement over the existing shots search. I unified Notes and Bean notes search into a single field. And if you’re a Premium user, it also searches your Private notes. Maybe it’s just me, but I really like this. I often can’t remember which note field I put something in. 😅
Besides this, there were several small code changes and bug fixes since the previous update. There was, however, a big infrastructure change. Visualizer now runs on two web servers behind a load balancer. I’m happy to say the migration was super smooth and completely zero-downtime.
You shouldn’t notice any difference day to day, as the main server was rarely resource constrained. Occasionally there could be queue build-ups if someone went a bit crazy with API requests, but that shouldn’t happen anymore. 🤞
This is very likely my last update of the year, so I again wish you all the best for the holiday season and the new year! 🎆
P.S. In case you missed it, I built a nice Year in Review, so be sure to check it out!
