September Development Update

Added 2021-09-29 14:01:03 +0000 UTC

Welcome back to another monthly update!

Looking back at last month, these were the focus points for the next planned releases.

1.9 General Content (Bug fixes, small features, and enhancements)

Moderation tools (Gives trusted site admins the ability to help me maintain the site's content)

Patreon Badges Goal (10 new badges from reaching the latest goal)

Visual Redesign (Bring all UI across the site to a unified design)

Right now we're currently in-between 1.9 minor updates and the moderation tools. With each minor update a subset of the tools are being patched into the site one piece at a time. The next one with 1.9.3 will be out very soon along with a handful of other improvements for the site. I'm expecting at least 2 more of these smaller releases before everything on the moderation side is ready to go. After that I'll reach out to potential moderators that applied awhile back for a test run.

The badges and visual redesign have also made smaller progress on the planning side of things, which is good because I usually never plan beforehand 😝 But this way development can stay focused on the moderation tools while 1.10 can be thought-out better, hopefully allowing for a smoother development when it comes time.

All-in-all progress is being made and as always there have been a handful of invisible updates that mainly affect the performance of the site (profile pics should load much faster now!!). Can't wait to share more progress once it's ready but until then, see you on the site!
