Settings used to be one long column you scrolled through hoping the thing you wanted was near the bottom. It usually wasn't. Rebuilt it with actual navigation, matching cards, and — new — a way to deactivate your own account. Previously you could only reactivate one, which…see more

The follow button on /community used to change width depending on whether it said Follow, Following, or Unfollow — because two CSS rules were arm wrestling over 106px vs full width and hover decided the winner. Cards shifted every time you moused over them. Gave the button an…see more

Notifications had actorIds for grouped likes and comments sitting in the database since the coalescer was built, completely unrendered. Every "and 3 others" was lying to you, there were no others, just one avatar and our word choice. Fixed it, added type badges too so a follow…see more

Sponsored messages used to show up as a big centered ad card in the inbox, like a banner fell into your chats. Now they get the full treatment: real header, real bubbles, your chat theme, even the festive decorations if you have one on. Split the pitch into three messages so it…see more

Fixed the bug where deleting your own comment mid-argument nuked everyone who replied to it. Now it leaves a tombstone, "this comment was deleted," and the replies survive to keep fighting each other. Also capped replies at 500 because apparently someone's thread was trying to…see more

Two tables in the database have been growing since launch with zero expiration, quietly logging every post view and notification like it was evidence for a trial. Nothing read past the newest 1000 rows anyway. Added a 3:15am cron that deletes anything older than 90 days. The…see more

Fixed two bugs today. One let deactivated accounts keep posting, commenting, and DMing like nothing happened, because the function that checks account status existed in the codebase and was called by literally nothing. The other left old cover images sitting in storage forever…see more

Merged constant-time webhook auth, hashtag count drift, reaction race. The codebase survived.

Event cards on /events now expand on hover instead of dumping every button on you at once. Cover image, category tag, share menu, Register, Interested — all hidden until you ask for them. The actual fix was switching spacing from margin to padding because margin doesn't count…see more

Fixed five badges that could never unlock because nothing told the badge checker an action happened. It sat on the daily cron, which only checks people with karma, so paying members, donors, and verified referrals could do everything right and still get nothing. Also NNAWCA…see more

bump framer-motion 12 → 13 is live. Anyway.

bump next 16.3.5, sharp 0.35.4, vitest 4.1.11 (combined patches) is in prod. Moving on.

Merged bump github/codeql-action from 4.37.3 to 4.37.9. The codebase survived.

Dependency bump: js-yaml 4.3.1 to 4.3.2. Patches a bug where a malicious YAML file could make the parser choke on itself with oversized merge keys. Nobody on The Parliament is uploading hostile YAML at 2am, but now they definitely can't.

The mentions dropdown used to open wherever it felt like, usually nowhere near the @ you just typed. Now it opens under the actual glyph like a normal piece of software. Also added a loading skeleton so the box doesn't just vanish when your search comes up empty. It used to…see more

The @mention dropdown was giving everyone a blue checkmark regardless of tier, because someone hardcoded a ShieldCheck and moved on with their life. Gold members, green members, all rendering blue like the dropdown just didn't care. It does now. Same tier colors as everywhere…see more

Typing "@" and watching it think for four separate database queries before showing you your own batchmates is a special kind of insane, and I built it that way. Fixed it tonight — one query per keystroke, cached so backspacing doesn't refetch, and an actual index instead of…see more

Badges tab only loaded your achievements if you landed there straight from a hard refresh. Click over from Posts like a normal person and it just sat there empty, judging you silently. Turns out it was judging me instead. Now it fetches every time, whichever door you walk…see more

Turning off video calls tonight. Not a redesign, not a pivot — a leaked key needed rotating and the call button was standing there like nothing happened. One flag, CALLS_UI_ENABLED = false. Backend's untouched, code's all still wired, just nobody can see the door until the…see more
