the beta should be very slightly faster when navigating to posts or users — it now preloads the pages before you actually click the links.

let me know if you notice anything! (some areas, such as the navbar, have not been changed yet)

hey, there’s now a message when someone reposts your posts (this is on both the beta and the production site!)

i changed the font of the website!

it should still match the “codey”/monospace style, but it’s now a little more sans-serify.

let me know what you think.

hey everyone, this is an important update:

sidebars now require exactly one statistics block. you can continue to reorganize it, or rename it, but it is still required.

i added images :)

(there’s now a button to add an image by ImgBB/cubeupload URL)

i also made it so you can copy and paste emojis, among other small changes :)

you can now view a list of the reposts of a post, by adding /reposts to the end of the url for a post. for example, for this post it would be https://beta.wasteof.money/posts/6276e06abc3e75a272c4b47c/reposts.

🎉🎉🎉

there’s now a post draft feature. any post you make will now be stored locally, in case you accidently close the modal or something.

right now it only saves drafts when you specifically close the modal, but more draft saving events are on the way!

i just had my really long and cool post deleted because i accidently clicked off im going to cry

to say thanks to all the really cool beta testers for all the feedback and testing, i’ve added a beta badge to profiles!

the explore page now shows up to 60 users!

hey everyone, thanks for all the feedback on the beta so far!

just released an update that adds the ability to follow users, alongside minor updates that people have asked for. :)

known issues (that i will solve when i get time)

  • to view a post page, you have to click the small text in the bottom (because apparently nested links is invalid html)

    • this might be fixed with some javascripty things

  • if you have a lot of messages/posts/followers theres a lot of pagination links

    • fixed

  • the following page for users doesn’t exist yet

    • fixed

  • you cannot follow or unfollow users

    • fixed

    • fixed

    • fixed

  • the settings page is lacking settings

    • this means that you cannot change your username, password, email, google/github, etc.

  • the about page contains only jam

  • there is no search functionality

  • you cannot report or delete posts

    • added reporting posts. still can’t delete them.

  • post linkification / mentionification / twemojification doesn’t exist yet

    • i’m still looking for the best way to do linking/mentioning.. in wasteof2, i’m using an existing package from npm, but it doesn’t play nicely with some of the formatting wasteof uses.

    • fixed but i’m not entirely satisfied on the way i did it.

  • some buttons use emojis rather than polished icons

  • theres no way to remove links from a link block

    • fixed

  • profile sidebar is missing some limits

    • should be fixed
