it’s 2024! how exciting. we hope everyone enjoyed their break from cohost getting any updates while we were on vacation.
some big corporate news: kara celebrated its 1st anniversary at the company the other day, which means (after a pretty tight vote, only passed by 3) it’s now a part-owner of anti software software club! congrats on equal share in eggbug!
here’s what’s new:
- self-service page deletion is now live!
- you can start the process in your page settings.
- after you request a deletion, there’s a three day waiting period so you can cancel it if you change your mind or did it accidentally.
- once those three days are up, we’ll process the deletion in our daily automated maintenance window. all the posts and comments on that page will be permanently deleted.
- right now, only pages with a single editor can be deleted automatically, because managing multi-editor pages isn’t something we’ve built publicly-facing UI for yet.
- if you need to delete a multi-editor page, you need a page deleted faster, or if the automated deletion process fails for some reason (it shouldn’t, but we’re not confident enough to say that it can’t), please feel free to e-mail us at support@cohost.org as before, and we’ll handle it for you.
- we know this isn’t a particularly flashy feature, but it saves kara a lot of time.
we’re now using the native HTML
<dialog />elements instead of a library
supported since March 2022 in all browsers!
it's notoriously hard to make a fully correct modal dialog. let the browser do the hard parts for you.
