An April Update

Added 2021-04-04 18:33:21 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone! I pushed out an update which addressed a bunch of smaller bugs and minor features, not too excited but I figured you should know! If you pledged to the kickstarter, you've probably heard this all already!

The main feature is a new articles system, with it's own page that people can browse, which i can submit articles too, and a popup I can trigger to show people the latest updates.

I did a huge update to my form fields system, which makes it easy for me to implement every type of field in all different contexts (eg textboxes, checkboxes). Most notable is the "filter form", which allows for easy searching and filtering on things, like the palette list, tutorial list, user list. This will make it so I can easily add these to the gallery for searching. They also work in submission forms, which are automatically generated based on how the database is configured, so adding new types of content in the future should be much easier!

Multiple file uploaders (one of the form elements i talked about above) can now exist peacefully on a single page! You'll know which one you can paste into by the marching dotted outline.

Thanks to discord member pongles, we now have a system which monitors when the website goes down and automatically reboots it. No more hours-long downtime because skeddles is asleep!

Fixed lots of little bugs. (but also probably created more)

Unfortunately there are more bugs and more minor/boring features I need to work on to get us on the track towards the gallery, but stay tuned, I'll try to add some fun features too!

Thanks again for everyone reading this, YOU are the reason i can keep Lospec alive!
