New Year, New UI

Happy New Year everyone! ProjectionLab Version 2.4.0 is live, bringing with it a newer and cleaner user interface, plus a few features to help you fine-tune your models.

Plan Screen Update

The first thing you’ll notice is the plan screen:

It has a flatter design with less visual clutter, without compromising on the number of quick-access tools at your fingertips. There’s a new charting library under the hood with better animations, keyboard shortcuts, and a slider for stepping through simulated years, clearer layouts with more form options, and many more small improvements!

Mobile and Tablet Views

Mobile and tablet views have seen a refresh too:

Monte Carlo Mode Updates

And Monte Carlo mode has been de-cluttered and re-colored. Percentiles are color-coded by the same criteria as the stats in the Summary panel, and the app now remembers what datasets and percentiles you had selected between sessions.

More Specific Start and End Years

You can also get more specific when you choose start and end years:

Each age input comes with a set of modifiers you can use to anchor things more precisely in time relative to key events in your life.

Future Plans: Age Variables

This also lays the foundation for a planned feature called Age Variables, where you’ll be able to add whatever key-value pairs you want to the age dropdowns (e.g., Start College: 18, End College: 22), bind multiple events to those in your plan, and then have everything adjust automatically if you change the underlying ages. More on that soon :)
