Less coral, more room
A few weeks of design polish across Mac, iPad and iPhone. Quieter selection, a proper editor, a zoom that lands on your prompt, and iPad finally getting its own layout.

Since launch we've mostly been working on the parts of Snop you look at but rarely think about. None of it is a feature. All of it is the app.
Coral means “do something”
Coral is on the capture button and the copy button, and that's the point: when you see it, there's something to press.
On the Mac we were also using it for selection. Two solid blocks of coral, permanently, shouting about nothing. Selection is now a soft wash of the accent, in light and dark mode. Your eye goes to the prompt, then to the copy button. That's the right order.
The prompt is a document
The Mac detail view used to be a title, a date, and a text box with its own scrollbar. Two things scrolling, one inside the other.
It's now one document. Title and body scroll together under a soft toolbar edge, and the editor grows with what you type. Undo belongs to each prompt, so switching prompts doesn't throw your history away. The copy button floats bottom-left, and the page leaves room so the last line is never underneath it. ⇧⌘C still works.
Used prompts get out of the way
Copied prompts now collapse behind a single “Used” header with Show, Hide and Clear. If you were reading a used prompt when you hid the section, it stays open. Hiding a list shouldn't close what you're working on.
The zoom lands on your prompt
On iPhone, tap the coral button and the capture sheet zooms out of it. Save, and it shrinks into the row it just created. Your prompt visibly arrives.
An afternoon to build, three updates to get right: a clipped date, a dark mode row, a square shadow behind a round button. All fixed. With Reduce Motion on, none of it animates.
iPad, finally
iPad was iPhone in a bigger frame. In landscape it's now three columns, like the Mac, and it remembers which prompt you had open in each project. Turn it to portrait and it folds back into a single stack.
All of this is in Snop 1.2.3.
