Boske is in alpha and moves quickly. This page is the record — the honest version, including the things we took out.
About a hundred colour classes had been compiling to nothing, so modal scrims, tints, rings and gradients were missing in both themes. They render again. Dark-theme buttons and the Send control meet AA contrast, and every focus ring is visible.
The trial and password-reset endpoints are rate-limited and no longer trust a forwarded client address. Production refuses to boot on placeholder or short authentication secrets instead of running with them.
Every string in the app now exists in all four languages besides English — no more falling back to English halfway down a screen.
Account exports include the actual file bytes, and any gap is declared in the export rather than left silent. A dead network no longer leaves a conversation stuck on “Researching…”. Documents that streamed in are saved as what you saw, not a fragment.
Cloud sign-in from the desktop app authenticates correctly. Losing a licence opens the sign-in screen instead of closing the app, and reloading while offline shows a real page. The menu, window state and link handling were tidied, and the updater sends only what it needs.
Outbound fetches go through a working SSRF guard. Images in markdown can no longer beacon to third parties. Security headers ship on every response, transfer passwords are verified, model paths are contained, and the server refuses to start with missing configuration instead of degrading quietly.
Three boot-path defects fixed, one of which blocked every fresh install. The desktop app re-sends the licence when the backend restarts. On-premise deployments boot, store files and update.
Syntax highlighting, diagrams and HEIC decoding left the eager path. Streaming no longer reallocates the whole conversation on every token. The server serves the Brotli it already builds, the sorts behind the sidebar and the message thread are indexed, and the logo lost two hundred kilobytes.
Importing a ChatGPT or Claude export inside Boske now verifies the raw bytes, tolerates exports with SQLite-only tables, and survives rate limiters. The import route no longer echoes envelope internals.
Every tool item — table, chart, map, board — can be seen and edited by the agent from its own Ask panel, with guidance per kind and validated writes. Asking for a diagram produces a rendered diagram. Saves are revision-checked: a stale window is refused, not silently overwritten. Edited transcripts survive a reload.
Each kind decides its own views. The generic Code tab went away; raw source stays one click from any view. The desktop pop-out shows the same Preview and Edit as the main window instead of running its own.
A fourth view on the workspace: every item becomes a node, and the relations between them become edges — so you can see how a transcript turned into a brief turned into a chart. Boards also arrive as an artifact kind of their own.
The sidebar splits into two rooms — Chat and Workspace — and Home becomes one place for recent work, projects and files. Plus a Plain theme, a single aligned left edge, and drag-and-drop onto projects.
