hey there folks! light week this week — the customizable CW filtering slipped a bit, though we’re finishing up tests on it now, so it should be out tomorrow or friday. here’s what’s new:
- completely rewrote the tag and CW input field, fixing all of the bugs we know about INCLUDING:
- tapping a tag suggestion inserts it multiple times
- moving your cursor to the middle of a word snaps it back to the end
- typing kinda just Doesn’t Work sometimes
- using the comma key to end a tag works inconsistently
- and probably more that jae forgot about while writing this!
- fixed an issue with cleaning up sessions after someone deletes their account
- if you’re the one person who experienced this bug, sorry about that! but also you probably won’t see this, on account of the whole deleting your account thing
- minor change: disable content warnings and the “adult content” checkbox when you’re sharing a post
- these may come back at some point! but they don’t do what you would expect right now, and we don’t want people to try using them while they’re broken and getting confused about why they don’t work right.
coming up on cohost:
- as mentioned above, CW filtering should only be a day or two away! tag filtering should be coming soon as well.
- fixing the remaining technical issues around account deletion and adding a self-service flow for it.
- some UI improvements for the little note at the top of posts with adult content or content warnings, as well as adding the ability to hide those posts again.
- a few behind-the-scenes work items:
- moving to a new version of our web API framework, which will make it easier to add new functionality to the API, and make it easier for us to provide public access and documentation in the future
- fixing some places where we reload the entire page when taking some actions instead of just the parts that changed, which makes running the site faster and less resource-intensive
- if you’re at all interested, jae wrote a bit about our rendering performance the other day
- rewriting some of the post rendering code, to help tag and CW filtering work more smoothly.
thanks for using cohost!
