hi there! like we mentioned last week, colin and aidan are working on a feature we’re all really excited about right now; we were hoping it would ship in time for this patch notes but there’s still some stuff to finish up, so we’re going to provide you some more details on it at the end of the post instead of leaving you in the dark.

alongside spending most of our week on that, we’ve shipped a couple small changes:

• fixed a bug where users could very rarely get stuck in a half-signed up state, unable to use the site
  • this happened at most about once every 10,000 registrations
  • after we got two reports of it in a short span of time, we fixed what we think is the underlying issue so it shouldn’t happen any more, fixed the small number of users whose account was in this broken state, and built new tooling for @kaara to help fix people’s accounts with minimal effort if it ever recurs.
• removed a bunch of old unused notification code, in preparation for doing some more work to improve notifications.

on the business front, we’ve finalized our most recent round of funding! we’ll have a full financial update out next week for the start of October and we’ll go into more detail about everything then.

The new feature shown in here is insanely forward thinking ESPECIALLY FOR ARTISTS WHO MIGHT POST ART INFREQUENTLY AND FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO FOLLOW THAT ART AHHHHH
