Site updated.
Here's the change log since the last one:
New:
- Events Aggregator Server, a type of aggregate/caching server that helps collect and organize mod and blog posts from the (nostr) network and presents them to the user, providing more (immensely more) reliability in discovering and presenting mods and blog posts. If something goes wrong with this server, the site goes back to how it was before its inclusion.
(Note: This isn't the censorship-resistant file hosting system, which will come later).
Changes:
- Adjusted how the mods and blogs are fetched and presented in various pages (there's now pagination for each of their pages, making navigation easier than before).
- Minor adjustment to the design of the gallery of mod posts.
- Images in a social post (in /feed) are now clustered depending on if they're next to each other.
- Quote-repost chain won't render its preview with the second quote-repost (under the posts tab in the feed page).
- Added media upload to the edit profile page.
- The games page now has a filter to switch between popular ones (shows the most popular games first based on mods published to it) or latest ones (shows games based on the latest published mods).
- Mods that are blocked by the user are now swapped with a box telling the user this is a blocked mod by them, with an option to see what that mod is.
Fixes:
- Most, if not all, mods can now be properly discovered, as soon as they're discovered, and presented (Because of that aggregate server implementation).
- A lot more games, with better search term prioritization, are now properly showing when searching in the mod submission page
- Visiting a social post directly is now visible without needing to login
That Events Aggregator Server took a long time to get done, and it's a boring update, but it was definitely needed.
And, as mentioned above, it's not an issue if it went down; the site would still function, just not in a stable state. The server just makes things more reliable in regard to user experience.
