We just deployed a gang of subtle changes. There are likely subtle bugs and the site might be wonky for a bit. Please report any issues!
As the week goes on, we'll be following up this release with some exciting stuff @ekzyis has been working on.
Most of the changes in this release are house cleaning things, but the ones you might care about:
- search has compact summaries
- before we displayed the full item text ... now we just show relevant highlights matching the query (ie it's nothing like google but it's more like google)
- if you view the "items" tab on user profiles, you can rank and filter a user's items similar to the way you can with 'top'
- user profiles are still ugly but they should be more useful
- satistics got a glowup
- the table should now fit on the page and not require horizontal scrolling
- no more numbering next to stories
- this is in anticipation of personalized feeds where there is no absolute scoring
- it also should make things less horizontally scrunched on mobile
- a few ergonomic things
- a larger zap bolt (harder to misclick on mobile)
- more spacing between story titles and links
Anyway, there's a lot of small things like that, many not worth listing. (I've already noticed a few small bugs too.) After deploying ek's work I'll be focused on personalized feeds in anticipation of implementing user generated subs.
