Neospring v1.14.0

https://neospring.org/@spark/blog/r1.14.0

Migration towards newer themes ("App" themes)

Hey! When Neospring next updates, "App" themes will become the default on every profile! These themes provide a much more coherent experience which does a much better job at drawing your attention towards the important features of the page.

I urge you to attempt to get your profiles looking good with these new themes! These themes are designed to be much better on mobile than the previous themes. If you're unable to do it, you can revert to one of the old themes by setting your profile theme to "Legacy light" or "Legacy dark".

Try to give them a chance while the option to change back is present! I'm open to feedback on these themes as well. You're free to leave your feedback in a comment under this post!

(Note: the version of these themes will have the red primary color, while the current versions available to use still use blue.)

Thanks!

Neospring v1.14.2 (BREAKING)

Hello,

Rainbeam's latest commit is now marked as v1.14.2. This commit introduces many breaking API changes which you should keep in mind:

• /api/auth endpoints are now under /api/v0/auth
  • You will likely need to do a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R) or clear your browser cache for some things to work again!
• /api/util endpoints are now under /api/v0/util
• The "App" themes are now the default
  • You can revert to the old themes by changing your theme to one of the "Legacy" themes.
• Sessions are now managed properly
  • Old Rainbeam servers will display incorrect information on sessions and delete the wrong sessions! Please update any locally hosted Rainbeam servers ASAP.

Thanks!

That's especially odd, does it say "Acceptable" or is it just nothing? It'll appear in the settings box, so under the menu (mobile) or to the right of it (desktop)

Yeah I changed my mind they're square again

Ctrl+Shift+R. Your client assets are out of date.

There's likely a serialization error. Are you able to check in the page source for errors, like an unclosed element?

As soon as we handle them!

No, that introduces XSS risks. Makes it much easier to use Neospring to scam people.

It should not reload. This is likely a local client issue, are you able to check on another device? It should scroll up to the top of the page.

I don't have control over those, they're external. You really shouldn't be logging in so much that they're annoying anyway

Your password is incorrect.

The response is from somebody who has a private profile.

So sorry! I try to get to bug things when some sort of fix is thought of.

I'll check the method for changing username, but there's no way for it to not allow you to change it without giving you some sort of error message (https://swmff.github.io/rainbeam/src/authbeam/database.rs.html#1002-1062).

Does it say anything on the page after you attempt to change it, or does it go through and then just not properly change?

Add this to your profile's custom CSS to revert it:

.avatar {
     border-radius: var(--radius) !important;
}

You can also set the radius to 0 if you want perfect squares.

Added!

Rainbeam v1.11.0 (IP blocking, better dark mode)

Hey guys! This update happened during our outage, so here's what's changed:

• Comments/response/questions now have better action buttons
• The dark theme was changed to look better
• Dropdowns, dialogs, and some other components were changed to look better
• You can now block people who have sent you questions you don't like (even if they're anonymous)! Press the ellipsis in the top right of the question, and then press "IP block" (MAJOR)

Thanks!

We're back!

I'm likely going to do it all tomorrow if I have time. If I'm not able to do it tomorrow, it'll end up coming Sunday most likely.

It's only so complicated because I can't show you the IP of the anonymous users you've blocked, meaning we need another way to store it. It could just be stored in your account settings like normal blocking used to be, but then there would be ways to find the IPs of your blocks.

We already tag anonymous users, and we already store the IP address of everybody who asks a question. It's just a matter of allow you to block these IPs in a way where you can't see the IP address.

Fixed!

You're blocked by @residentevil. It's an old block that doesn't show up in the relationships tab. Since you seem to be friendly, I'll remove the block.

Settings should now update automatically with a 500ms debounce between updates. You may need to clear your browser cache if it isn’t working. Please note some settings (mostly checkboxes) won’t show this message because they’re local changes only.

Oh! Yeah, the whole thing should just be .card-nest. If you specifically want the first card, you can do .card-nest:first-child (that'll be the motivational header/the question for responses). The second card is (as you could guess), .card-nest:last-child.

Likely an old version of Safari which doesn't support some of the CSS things needed.

https://neospring.org/settings/profile#sparkler:avatar_url will take you right to it, you may need to scroll up a little!

Yeah, it's getting there. I'm working on making the timelines independent of the pages for the mobile apps, so it's definitely on the horizon.

That's definitely an issue with our rendering. We store these drawings in a custom data format, which may be a little buggy. Are you able to follow up to this with ID of the question in which the included drawing is messed up? (a link to it also works)

Not really, it's still too early. I can write one, but it may take some time.
