# 0.8.0 — 2026-06-04 — "Project Daemon"

- **Added**: Per-project web daemon — `kandown` now starts/reconnects a background server by default so the browser keeps working after quitting the TUI.
- **Added**: `kandown daemon start|stop|status` commands for explicit daemon lifecycle control.
- **Added**: TUI daemon status and `d` shortcut to start/stop the current project's web daemon without leaving the board.
- **Changed**: The board TUI has a more colorful, user-friendly header, column accents, daemon status pill, and clearer status/hint area.
- **Changed**: New `.kandown/` installs ignore daemon runtime metadata via `.kandown/.gitignore`.
- **Fixed**: Restarting the daemon from the TUI preserves the last custom port used by the project.
