We promised you a fresh product experience every week, and now we’re back with the second update cycle after another two weeks of hard work. This performance improvement will make your productivity experience with OFFLIGHT even more enjoyable and profound. So, let’s dive into the product performance enhancements for this week!
⭐This Week's Highlights
Product Speed Improvement Part 2 ⚡
After a long wait, we’ve finally completed the second round of performance improvements. If the first round of improvements, which we introduced two weeks ago, was the appetizer, this second update is the main course. Until now, OFFLIGHT was usable in countries with fast internet speeds, but in areas with slower internet, it took 2-4 seconds to create tasks and time blocks – not quite the “blazingly fast” experience we aim for.
With this update, OFFLIGHT now responds in just 0.1 seconds, regardless of network speed or location, giving you a smooth experience no matter where you are. Just like hitting the accelerator on a Porsche, feel the thrill of speed with this improvement!
Key Improvements:
- Improved speed for task creation/view/edit/delete
- Enhanced email task loading speed
- Optimized task list mapping
- Task planning (including shortcut-based planning)
- Calendar event creation/view/edit/delete (including recurring events)
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Task List Order Issue Resolved: You can now easily reorder your task lists without any problems.
- Keyboard Navigation Bug Fixed: You can now navigate directly to tasks using the keyboard when switching pages. No more needing to click with the mouse!
- Preventing Duplicate List Creation: Even if you press Enter multiple times, no more duplicate lists will be created.
🚀 Upcoming
For the next two weeks, we’ll continue to focus on remaining performance issues and resolving any accumulated bugs to bring the product back to peak performance. We’re also gearing up to start work on high-priority improvement and new feature tickets.
- Upcoming Key Improvements:
- Enhancement of the Recurring Time Blocking feature
- Smooth transitions for the Focus Start/Pause feature
- Optimization of the List Creation/Edit feature
- Resolving performance issues when dragging events in the 7-day calendar view
💬 Behind the Scenes
- Since the product launch, we’ve had two major refactoring efforts to improve performance. The first was related to task drag-and-drop, and the second was this performance improvement. Both sprints were quite draining for us. To take care of our makers' mental health, we’re planning to slow down a bit for the next two weeks, cool down, and focus on sustainable product improvements.
