NaNo 2.0 tracker release notes

Release 1.0.1.5 (2026-11-07)

Pick a project when updating: if you have more than one project, Update progress now has a Project menu and saves one project at a time. It opens on the project you last added words to, on any device. Switching projects keeps the number you typed. With just one project, nothing changes.

Taking words back: a Total lower than what’s logged now works however many words you cut, even more than you wrote that day. That day shows as a negative number (such as “−150”) in the Log and Calendar, and your goal’s total goes down to match. Such a day doesn’t count towards a streak. A project’s total can’t go below zero.
A check before big cuts: a Total more than 1,000 words below what’s logged asks first (“Take back 2,000 words?”), in case it’s a typo. Cancel takes you back with your number still there.
Connected tools can lower your count too: sprint bots and other tools that log words with an API key can now set a total lower than what’s logged, as the tracker can.
Clearer errors: if an update can’t be saved, the message now says why.

With several projects on Total, updating one of them no longer tries to set the others to zero. That had stopped the whole update from saving.

The first production release. These notes cover everything since 1 November 2026.

Winner’s certificate: once you reach your event goal, open your certificate from the “Goal complete” card. The first time, your own progress line becomes a mountain for a turtle to climb. You can edit your name, project and date, then download the certificate filled in or blank.
Goal complete card: reaching your target now gets its own card. Validate your word count there by pasting each project’s manuscript into its own box.
Three ways to see your progress: switch the progress card between Graph, Calendar and Log. The Log lists every day with its words and running total, and you can edit any day from it. The tracker remembers which view you picked.
Streaks: two or more days in a row with words show as a streak in all three views.
Your stats: Home shows your daily average, words a day to finish on time, projected finish date, best day, streaks and more.
Stay signed in: while you keep using the tracker, you stay signed in, up to 30 days.

Update progress shows what saving will do (“9,167 logged + 850 new”) before you press Update, and warns if a New number looks like your whole manuscript. It remembers whether you last used Total or New.
Fixing a mistake: you can enter a Total lower than what’s logged to take back words added by mistake that day.
Deleting a project keeps its words in your goal unless you choose to delete them too. Your first project can now be deleted as well.
Share card: shared profile links show a new mountain-and-sun picture.
Finished goals: new messages celebrate what you wrote, whether or not you reached your target.

The calendar’s range menu no longer opens behind the day cards.
The background scenery stays where it is when you leave Home.
Sign-up buttons stay off until your date of birth, consent and email are in, and say what they are waiting for. Some typos are fixed too.
Updating progress works again after you delete your first project.
