• 22 September 2018Today's Update - Two small UX improvements

    I've been busy updating old code the past few weeks. It's not glamorous, but when you keep a site running for so many years, it's part of the job ;) The main goal is to make it possible to do further improvements. At last, the personal story area in the Study page now uses modern Javascript.

    While much is "under the hood" changes, there are two noticeable changes;

    • Saving a story now connects to the server without reloading the page. You'll see a new "loading" indicator while the update is in progress. So a little better visual feedback and a bit more responsive.

    • Display amount of characters left in real time when editing a story. Example picture. (Github issue #73).

    Since I tweaked a bunch of old code, it's always possible I broke something. Let me know if anything's wonky!
