Massive Core Overhaul Launching the App to Version 1.0
After its inception as "Bloatynosy," this release propels the app to a true milestone: version 1.0! Fun fact: Bloatynosy originally launched as my first-ever release in mid-January 2023. Since then, the app has been downloaded over 7 million times (I stopped counting earlier this year).
Bloatynosy has been through a lot. It’s seen the highs and the lows. At its peak, it was even available in the Microsoft Store, before getting removed. The app has undergone two identity crises with name changes, somehow survived as a makeshift AI web app (Winpilot), was shut down, and then brought back to life again 💩 😑
Heres what’s new in this release:
- Freshly revamped UI from the DEV Channel is now rolling out, offering even smoother integration with Windows 11
- Dumputer > Debloating Module adopts the classic BloatyNosy design with the iconic dual-basket interface
- New Notification Area seamlessly slides in and out of the UI, providing global logging capabilities
- New final app icon featuring a "fat droplet" design is included in this DEV release
- Update check functionality added (accessible from the Notification Area)
- Fixed an issue where individual log instances were not being saved properly
- Fixed a bug that could prevent certain plugins from being installed
- Resolved a critical issue where the main app window might not display (though the process was running)
- Fixed overlapping controls in the Dumputer area when using a 175% DPI scaling
- Optimized memory usage, because every byte still counts, even today 😄
- The app now boots 20% faster, enhancing overall performance
- Improved support for gaming handhelds like the ROG Ally
- Numerous smaller bug fixes to enhance stability and usability
