Version: 2024.01a
From Priorities/Sub-Priorities to Strategies/Initiatives
To align with the way businesses plan their goals, 'Priorities' and 'Sub-Priorities' have been renamed to 'Strategies' and 'Initiatives', respectively. The term 'priority' is still used in some contexts, referring to either a strategy or an initiative.
Updated UX/UI for the Strategy/Initiative View
![Updated UX/UI for the Strategy/Initiative View](/_astro/screenshot05.1359bf8c_Z2kGp4j.webp)
We have redesigned the Strategy/Initiative view to organize all the information in a more intuitive manner. Additionally, we have enhanced the functionality by adding the ability to maximize the drawer into fullscreen.
Tasks
Each Strategy/Initiative now allows users to create and delete tasks. Furthermore, we plan to expand tasks in the future to support third-party integrations.
Contributors
Each Strategy/Initiative can now include specific contributors.
Watchers Upgraded to Subscribers
For each Strategy/Initiative, watchers have been replaced with subscribers. We have also introduced a feature that allows users to subscribe others in addition to themselves.
New Editor
Our Text Editor has been upgraded with additional formatting options. Give it a try!
Enhanced Tracking in History
The history view now shows updates, tags, subscribers, initiatives, and tasks, providing a more comprehensive tracking of changes.
- We have updated our system to allow tag names to include special characters such as #, /, and %. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in creating and managing tags.

Version: 2023.12a
Sub-Priority Tagging Visibility on the Timeline
In the previous versions, users experienced an issue where tagged sub-priorities were not visible in their respective tabs unless the parent item also shared the same tag. This issue has been successfully addressed, ensuring that sub-priorities with unique tags are now correctly displayed in their designated tabs.
- A notable change has been made in the mobile user interface. The 'Suspend' and 'Change Role' actions in the user list are now appropriately disabled for editors when accessed via mobile devices. This enhancement aligns the mobile experience more closely with desktop usability standards.
- We've also improved the mobile user experience related to the Organizations tooltip. Previously, after tapping on the organization switcher on mobile devices, the tooltip remained visible, causing a cluttered interface. With the new update, this tooltip will now be automatically hidden post-interaction, offering a cleaner and more intuitive mobile interface.

Date Selection Improvements
![Date Selection Improvements](/_astro/screenshot03.6be405bc_U9Xok.webp)

User Interface Refresh
![User Interface Refresh](/_astro/screenshot01.58d7cf50_ZQXkXb.webp)
The User Interface looks cleaner than before thanks to:
- A brand-new organization switcher that hides when not in use
- New navigation icons for a fresh look
- An updated colour scheme which is more neutral (less green)
- Decreasing the tabs in the user settings from three to two
- The updated organization switching animation which is more readable
New Filters
![New Filters](/_astro/screenshot02.2e9280ce_Z2rUzkI.webp)
The filters UI has been re-imagined and updated to be more flexible and allow for more filtering and sorting options. You can now:
- Filter by multiple priority owners
- Filter by Created and Updated dates
- Select date ranges with precision of up to one day
- Filter priorities without start and end dates (using the Not Set filter)
- Use the search functionality in the filter popover to quickly find the filter you need
- Configure the sort direction on the Status Page and sort by more fields such as Start Date, Updated, and tags
Priority Reminders
Meddo's Daily Summary Email will now notify users about rarely-updated, AT RISK, and BLOCKED priorities they're watching. If a user doesn't receive any notifications for a while, the email will be automatically triggered. This can be configured and disabled in the Notification Settings.
Timeline Export
It is now possible to export the timeline view as PNG or PDF to share with stakeholders or use it in presentations. The export function will respect any active filters, allowing a high degree of customization.
Performance
Meddo will now feel faster than ever thanks to several performance optimizations.
- A significant portion of the app's internal code has been optimized. Most actions and views in the app should now be slightly (or more than slightly) faster. For example, there's no more delay when viewing user profiles with a lot of priorities.
- The app now makes fewer API requests than before, leading to less stalling during navigation and while handling user inputs.
- The authentication code has been updated to more reliably refresh the user's session once it expires and retry failed API requests.
- Images should no longer occasionally appear broken after sign-in
- Images and other user assets now use 1st-party cookies, which is more secure and works in privacy-focused browsers like Brave
- Images can now be more reliably cached by the browser, avoiding unnecessary requests and loading
- While uploading images, it's no longer possible to select non-image files like .docx and .txt
- The image uploader will now report uploading errors to the user
- Meddo will no longer create watcher notifications when private priorities are edited or otherwise updated.
- The priority ordering on the Timeline has been updated to (end date, start date), which results in the "waterfall" look commonly seen in Gantt charts.
- It is now possible to infinitely scroll updates, replies, and sub-priorities (previously they were limited to 100 items maximum, after which no more items would show up).
- After creating a priority from the Related Items tab, the list now automatically refreshes and shows the created priority.
- While creating a priority, clicking on one of the WYSIWYG buttons (italic, bold, list, etc.) no longer erroneously submits the data.
