PromptLedger v0.6: From Viewer to Interactive Prompt Workspace Dashboard
Install PromptLedger v0.6 and launch the dashboard to use card‑based prompt workspace and marker actions.
Run 'pip install --upgrade promptledger' and start the dashboard with 'promptledger dashboard' to explore the new UI.
Summary
PromptLedger v0.6 shifts the tool from a simple terminal‑first viewer to a local dashboard that visualizes prompt history as a card‑based workspace. Each prompt card displays the latest version, collection, role, markers such as stable or milestone, a short preview, and the last updated time, allowing quick scanning of a library without opening each item. Clicking a card opens a detailed view that shows the full prompt text, version metadata, markers, a timeline, and a side‑by‑side comparison of changes. Marker actions (stable, milestone) can now be applied directly from the UI, mirroring the CLI’s underlying system.
The release also introduces usability improvements: keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation, copy actions with feedback, better empty states, and refined hover and selection behavior. PromptLedger remains intentionally local‑first, SQLite‑backed, and CLI‑driven for writes while the dashboard handles inspection and workflow. It explicitly does not include cloud services, telemetry, external APIs, or AI features, keeping the scope narrow and focused on prompt iteration.
Installation is straightforward: pip install --upgrade promptledger, followed by promptledger dashboard to launch the new interface. The design direction emphasizes reliability and clarity over feature bloat, positioning PromptLedger as a tool for thinking about prompts rather than merely storing them.
