September Rain (site update v0.5.0)

This weeks update is still far too large. Too many moving parts, not enough hands.

Uploads & images

• New image upload mechanics, should allow you to upload the highest quality images and manipulate them in browser reducing the ram requirements

• Slim scrolling gallery strip replaces the old masonry band.

• Single responsive image builder: sizes-derived candidate ladders, clamped densities, one fetchpriority=high image per viewport.

• OG/JSON-LD (social shares) crops now honour the author's focal point.

Tags

• /tags/[slug] rewritten as a compact-row public story feed replacing the old month-windowed listing.

• "More" loads more content.

Loading states

• Route-scoped loading skeletons (search, login, onboarding, shop, profile, partner and feed routes) replace the single blanket loading boundary. (site looks like it’s thinking instead of stopped)

Backend

• Numerous fixes to support the new services.

Coming soon

• RSS feeds

• Locally installable app (get notifications from subjects you follow)

• Improved registration

• Improved social and news ‘stuff’
