Website improvements

Uncategorised

A big old feature update today. The activity feed for the site now runs from the same dynamic system as the rest of the site.

Which means:

  • You can favourate and comment on activities properly
  • You can post to groups and your timeline from the front page
  • You can load more without leaving the main page
  • The activity stream has a more consistent look
  • I can start working on that backlog of other features I wanted to make

Other changes:

I’ve reduced the active groups list to three groups. This is so the activity feed appears higher up the page. I’m still workshopping ideas to make the feed more prominent without entirely removing the shortcuts. The other option is a sidebar, which I am hesitant to switch to now that everything else is working nicely.

Let me know your thoughts

As always, bug reports, complaints, thoughts, ideas, and other comments are most welcome.
