Welcome to lit.salon

one last dev update thread before i make changelog: Redid the rich text editor (now uses tiptap v3, same one substack uses). Images uploaded to your content are directly uploaded to our DB, so you don't need to do the janky URL image embed thing anymore. Also just looks a lot better. Jan 11 6:45 PM EST: I just accidentally broke the site a bit for like 30 min because I pushed a premature infinite scroll (for everything) feature. Sorry for the 500s

Just pushed a massive, massive backend re-architecture - "trending" algo is now hackerrank algo, not reddit. HN algo makes much more sense for our community. - All DB reads and writes should be quite a bit faster - Pagination should be basically perfect + fast now, denormalized data + cursor based pagination - BEST OF ALL: I get to pay a lot less per month 😉 This makes it a lot easier for me to make features. I will keep pumping that shit out at any means necessary. Also, t-shirts coming soon. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄
