WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.4.0

• Complete Ground-Up Rewrite: Faster startup, minimal memory usage, zero external dependencies, and a completely new architectural foundation.

Speedtab 1.3.1

Speedtab 1.3.1

This update improves Speedtab's language support and sharpens a small but useful part of everyday navigation.

What's New

• Better Chrome and Chrome Web Store language detection for English and German.
• Improved extension-level localization handling for manifest and background/runtime strings.
• Cleaner separation between browser-level localization and in-app interface translations.
• Fixed the Copy URL dialog so workspace URLs now reflect the current live page/module/tab state correctly.
• Improved long URL readability in the Copy URL field.

Why This Matters

Speedtab now integrates more cleanly with Chrome's own localization system while keeping the in-app language experience fast and consistent. This also makes future language additions easier to maintain.

The Copy URL fix removes a subtle but annoying mismatch where shared or reopened workspace URLs could lag behind the currently visible module tab state.

Speedtab 1.3.0

Speedtab 1.3.0 is a major polish and personalization update. It adds full interface
translation support, expands appearance controls with custom CSS backgrounds and a reusable
background archive, and introduces a lightweight persistent Quicknote scratchpad for local
capture outside the main workspace model.

Highlights

• Full application internationalization with English and German support
• Automatic first-run language detection with onboarding language selection
• Lazy-loaded locale system prepared for additional languages without bloating initial load
• Custom CSS app backgrounds with live preview, validation, and background archive support
• Persistent Quicknote scratchpad with local-only storage, floating panel UI, and helper toggle in the header
• Context-menu append-to-Quicknote flow for fast local capture
• Feed reader media preview support for the first useful embedded image
• Continued UI refinement across settings, dropdowns, search, notes, feeds, and layout details

Notable UX Improvements

• Language switching is fast, persisted, and available both in Settings and during onboarding
• The new background workflow makes gradients and custom CSS backgrounds safe and reusable
• Quicknote stays outside export/import and works as a simple scratchpad for power users
• Header helpers and context-menu flows make lightweight capture faster without polluting workspace content
• Feed cards are more expressive when articles provide embedded media

Speedtab 1.2.0

Speedtab 1.2.0 is a major usability and layout update. It expands dashboard flexibility,
improves bookmark and note workflows, refines WebDAV data exchange, and ships with a much

• Per-module width control and per-module minimum height
• Custom bookmark favicon picker with upload, asset selection, and override support

Notable UX Improvements
