devlog 007: v2 shipped this session.
The launch rendering bug got fixed. Saved checklist items, along with the other affected widgets, were only appearing after new input was added rather than on initial load. The root cause was a gap between the initial data fetch and the render call — the fetch was either running before the backend health check resolved, or the render function was only ever being triggered from the “add” success path and never from the initial dashboard load. Once that was corrected, everything populates immediately on launch the way it should have from the start.
Spotify got the redesign it needed. The old full iframe embed rendered Spotify’s own boxed dark player UI, which clashed with the rest of the dashboard and took up more visual weight than the widget deserved. It’s now a minimal custom player built on Spotify’s oEmbed API — just cover art and a title, no chrome, no background box, sitting flush against the card. Clicking the cover opens the playlist in the browser instead of playing inline, which is a real tradeoff, but it’s the right one for how small this widget is meant to be.
Both fixes went through the full release cycle again: verified in a real running app rather than just read from source, rebuilt with cargo tauri build, and repackaged as a fresh .dmg. The build is tagged and out as v0.2.0.
