Clear 2.1 & 2.1.1 (Widgets, Per List Personalization, Daily Quote, Mini & Nano Font Sizes)

The widget checking off is being internally tested. Was planned for 2.1.1 but change of plans, I think we will issue a 2.1.1 hot fix that includes some fixes but also is largely to add a micro and nano font size lol.

Ahahahaahah :rofl::rofl::rofl:

That is too small, I think! But if people are happy with that, I am happy too!

Will the hot fix come before the next shop rotation? I really want that watermelon.

Ok so Clear 2.1.1 hot fix. Hoping to submit later today or tomorrow. Planned changes for it:

New smaller Micro and Nano font size options (to compensate for iOS dynamic font scaling disconnection)
Fix legacy sound pack not working
Bug: can’t reorder sounds with addition of volume levels section
Fix: per-list personalized fonts should also apply to simple formatted text (caption/subheaders)
Fix Watermelon icon

Micro with Helvetica Light:

Nano with Helvetica Light:

Eventually we want to replace these with a slider control. But I hope this satisfies enough so we can move on for now to other things.

I’ll have to feature Watermelon icon again soonish, there are other places it could pop up. Breakfast day or Picnic day.

Do you have analytics in-app to know how many people (%) use each font size?

Good question. I don’t think so but that would actually be very useful to look at. Will see if we can quickly hook it up if it isn’t currently, could help us more objectively tune something like this moving forward.

Hi @phillryu - is there any plan to reduce the padding on the medium & large font sizes? If so, any idea when it would be available? Thanks

No current plans there, normal is tuned to what I like personally and kind of intend for Clear’s design and would like all new users to start with etc.

Small, tiny, micro, nano, all have reduced hierarchical row scaling to cater towards info density. But Clear I would say with its defaults, it’s more interested in maximizing info focus and fluency rather than info density, which I think can start eating away at the former when turned up.

Just had an issue so thought I’d report: changing themes works but the icon does not change. Even choosing a custom icon does not result in icon change. Running latest clear 2 update.

Try restarting your iPhone.

Thanks! :pray:t5: that worked!

I have to say I don’t notice a huge difference from before, but that might be mixed in with the disconnection from iOS text scaling.

I will say I haven’t encountered another dev as responsive or as engaged with customers as you have been, and that’s really appreciated. :+1:

Yeah if you haven’t adjusted iOS dynamic scaling you wouldn’t have noticed before, or rather it would’ve just been improved probably. (Tightened up the row scaling some for small/tiny in 2.1.)

Thing is the update so far has only gone out to maybe 5% of you who went to the App Store to grab it. So I can tell if it went out to the rest, many who don’t check up on forums etc., it would cause another storm. Anyways, plan is to submit 2.1.1 first thing tomorrow morning and hopefully have it out by the evening.

And thank you. I probably need some kind of break right now after the rocky launch, but I think we’re mostly through the woods and there will be a good positive feedback loop through the year as we keep putting out good updates etc.

Every time I’m feeling the pressure and I guess it’s apparent like earlier today, some of you reach out with support or take some extra time to express it, and it reminds me how we have a kind of preciously wholesome thing going on here. And that inspires me to try our best to keep it this way!

Is it possible for widgets to have a toggle to follow their list’s theme automatically, so I don’t have to change it twice?

Also, I want to thank you for the wonderful app you’ve built. It’s simply wonderful.

@phillryu Can we somehow get a better view of the today’s themes inspired by streaming services? Can you provide a mockup here like you did for some other themes? I bought one of them whose icon preview looked promising, but it turned out to be nothing special :frowning:

Here are the streaming themes from today’s store. :point_down:t3:


Stream Flix

Streamulu

Stream+

Stream TV+

Stream Prime

Stream Max

The ‘current theme’ option is meant to do this, update even if you change it inside the app, or via per list personalization. Is that not working properly for you?

Also just submitted 2.1.1:

For info density lovers:
• Introducing Micro & Nano font sizes
• (Find under Personalize > Fonts)

Hotfixes:
• Fixed per list fonts applying to captions and subheaders
• Legacy sound pack fixed
• Fixed bug reordering sound packs
• Fixed Watermelon icon for shop customers

I hadn’t tested it, I’d assumed from the phrasing that it followed the app’s theme. It works!
