Quality of Life Improvements - Changelog

Uploads:

  • Drag & Drop zones added to all uploads across the site, let me know if you encounter any bugs or think some of the styling could be more clear


Embeds:

  • Improvements made to meta data so embeds will now be appropriate to the content type i.e. text posts will display a block of the text in the description


Text Editor:

  • The formatting in the text editor should now be in-line with the text that displays on the post
  • In the text editor using enter will now create a break rather than a paragraph, meaning the spacing will be less severe. You can use shift-enter to create a paragraph. May reverse this if it becomes a nuisance.
  • Empty paragraph tags created in the text editor will now be stripped, so no more extra lines at the end of posts
  • The text editor for posts has been expanded: added bullet/number lists & emoticon buttons
  • Links pasted into the text editor should now auto-link on the press of enter/space

Posts:

  • Reduced paragraph spacing by a marginal amount

Media Library upgrades - Changelog

Major Changes:

- Replaced current archaic way of loading and storing media with a powerful media library which can handles the conversions and managment of media

- All dynamically media on the website has been moved to this library

- Greatly reduced filesize of all images across the website including a thumb and full sized image (at a lower file size)

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed a typo in an email
- Increased number of notifications, followers and following that show on the dashboard per new set (and by default)

The library should allow for some nifty new features in the future!

Brief interval for media conversions & loading

I'm currently working on transferring media over to a better system. It gives me more control on how images and videos are loaded plus what formats need to be loaded.

Mostly this is for my benefit as it makes it easier to add media to anything and also control how it is served to the client, however, you may notice the thumbnail quality will be better and loading times should be a bit faster.

Shouldn't take too long to get done and may require a brief interval of maintenance time whilst the process runs.

This is done, just going to run another test run of converting the media to the new framework tonight as pre-caution. I will be looking to set it live this afternoon, there may be a small window of downtime as this will break any images/videos on the site temporarily until the transfer script has ran.
