Note that this is still a work in progress, so expect some things to not work as expected or potentially break entirely. In the worst case scenario I will revert the site to its current state. More changes may be coming in the next few days.
The main part of this update are technical changes that would likely not interest you, namely the rewrite of a significant portion of the backend code, database structure, logging system and protocols for interprocess communication. This project may become open source when this update is complete.
There are however some other additions:
- A shorter page header which should improve the user experience on mobile
- Some button icons were changed, minor color scheme tweaks and an entirely new spritesheet file
- Chat now supports Markdown formatting (with the same syntax as elsewhere)
- Dropdown menus on posts, comments and chat messages to remove clutter
- You no longer have to be the owner of a chatroom to manage its whitelist
- The ability to block users

Video threads would be a blast.
