another weird week for us. @vogon, @jkap, and @jessfromonline are all mostly working on big code changes that haven't been finished yet; all we shipped this week were a few bug fixes. (most of which aren't publicly visible -- to help @kaara out with its support workflow!) speaking of workflows, we're also taking this opportunity to review our development practices and increase the amount of formal planning we do to better accommodate a 33% increase in staff! we hope this will help us reduce friction and even out our pace of work instead of landing a bunch of stuff one week and barely anything the next.

new this week:

  • we fixed an issue where if you attach multiple images to one post with substantially different shapes, some of the thumbnails would come out pixelated.

  • @aidan made a special edition eggbun just for these patch notes!

coming up on cohost:

thanks for using cohost! :eggbug:

i know the patchnotes are looking a little light but i want to take a personal second to really highlight the incredible amount of work that aidan, jae, colin, and jess have all put in recently. They've all done a LOT to help me get up to speed and get our support pipeline in working order so that we can have a well functioning system to help y'all out.

everyones been helping me get caught up by catching weird bugs (both userfacing and not), building new tooling, and answering absolute piles of questions!

part of doing "posting but better" means we want to put a lot of time and effort into making support and moderation that works

i'm continuing my work though our backlog of support requests and have made a lot of progress. Excited to start working on some cool things on that front once caught up! <3

Glad to see the updates rolling on in! Any chance there will be a notification badge for new notifications? I would make a suggestion post on the forum but I can't seem to get an account made on there for some reason ๐Ÿ˜…

Promising patch notes, genuinely! It's good to hear that there's serious code changes in progress now that kaara's getting a handle on the support load. And the increased planning is also encouraging for sustainability. :) won't be long until you're more formal than whatever's left of 3rd website's processes lol

edit: also eggbun is delightful lol
