Chats changes


  • CHATS NOW ACTUALLY WORK! Sorry for you being unable to create chats for the past day, but this issue has now been fixed
  • Chats are a little more compact now, so they hopefully don't feel as weird
  • Chats no longer refresh the page every time a message is sent/received

That's it for now! Please continue to report bugs and suggest features.

Rainbeam 1.7.0 (Threads)


  • You can now go to "Share" on any response and press "Follow-up"
  • You can now put the ID of a response in your replies to reply to them in a separate response
    • Pressing "Follow-up" adds this to the question and makes it automatically do this when the question is answered
  • Added some extra sharing options (Twitter)
  • Increased sharing text from 240 characters total to 280

That's it for 1.7.0 (+ a bunch of bug fixes). Thanks!

Rainbeam 1.8.0 (Drawings)


Hey! This is slightly experimental, but you can now allow people to send you drawings with their questions in your account settings! You must enable this feature to allow people to send you drawings through your profile.

Thanks! (+ minor bug fixes)

Drawings Clarifications


Hey! Here’s some small clarifications as we refine the drawings feature:

  • I will add undo/redo at some point!
  • You can now download/upload images
  • The image format has been updates to specify the width and height of the canvas that it the image was created in
  • The maximum size for a drawing is 32kb (up from 8kb)

Thanks for testing drawings, I’ll continue to make it better from here but I’m happy with what we have right now!

Also if you read all of this, you can play with drawings at https://neospring.org/site/fun/carp!

I was wondering for the report stuff if the people at hand could get some detail when a harmful report gets processed? I know people can get petty and report for no reason I'm not sure if there's successful processing like other platforms where something actually harmful gets taken down and noticed but I've been getting some pretty nasty anonymous asks full of slurs and just disgusting language so I wanted to know if it was possible that when something gets to that point if the reporter could get info like country of origin's information like that Ive just been dealing with a lot of ex relationships harassing me

Yes, questions that are reported will have the sender's account deleted, and their IP address banned if applicable. IP addresses are included with all questions, even anonymous. This allows us to catch users going anonymous or users that never had an account.

Nearly every type of content is reportable in some way, although some reports may take us awhile to process. It is recommended that you include an email in your reports, but we'll likely begin automatically including your account ID when you report.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there anyway to embed this site to another website? i wanted to add it to my neocities website :^)

Press "More" under "Edit Profile" on your profile, and then press "Embed profile", this will give you a link to embed your profile in an HTML Iframe element. People can still ask you questions through this.

Hey it would be cool if notifications saved in their location even when marking as read until we delete it,, unless ofc it takes up too much storage space! Just so we dont lose comment threads by marking as read and such!

I'll consider it, thanks! For right now, the best solution is probably just don't mark anything as read if you want to keep it.

Me and some other users have been getting harrassed by an anon, the first time he sent us a weird rentry depicting sexual themes, the second time he sent us an ao3 (which i'm not gonna read, so i'm assuming) it depicts of sexual themes. Are you able to do anything about this? -🐟

hi, would there be a way to back up previous curiouscat asks exported as json (https://pastebin.com/Q20ZE5eP) and import them into neospring since it's shutting down very soon?

Unfortunately, there is not. Neospring stores questions and responses in a very different way. While a translation layer could be added, you still wouldn't really get much.

hi spark ! i am the anon that sent the ask reporting the lack of response to me trying to change my username. i tried again, the issue still persists, however i was trying to think up some sort of way to overcome this as i have a chronic retheme addiction & being inable to change my username was driving me mad. i went incognito, logged into neospring (while still incognito), & the issue resolved itself. i have yet to test around & see if itll work now even off incognito, but the point is the issue is resolved now.

i dont have any experience with coding or how this site would even work, so i was wondering if you yourself had any idea what lead to this & how being incognito fixed it? all good if your clueless, im just a curious gal.

The issue is likely cached client resources, but I'm glad it's fixed for you now!

emojis seems to get excluded when responses are shared to twitter 🥹

Yeah, I'll work on it later. Right now it's because it's hard to slice up text when characters like emojis take up more than 1 byte.

Please teach me how to input images for pfp & banner? I've tried many times, but still failed 😭

You can upload the image anywhere that won't serve our server a captcha. You can even use an image you uploaded to Twitter!

If it isn't working, the likely issue is the site is giving us a captcha which we obviously cannot solve.

Hai .. Would you ever consider making a list of the css that can be used to customize ur profile ?

It's just any CSS source value.

  • all color names
  • hex
  • hsl/hsla
  • rgb/rgba
  • url("...")
  • linear-gradient()
  • etc

Let me know if that helps or if you need more help! I'd recommend looking up CSS colors.

Hello! I hear other people are wanting the same thing to, but would it be possible to add an option in your settings that either doesnt allow you to check a blocked users profile, or allows you to check a blocked users profile?

Session question asking bug has been fixed, sorry for the inconvenience!

For those interested, an explanation is available below.


Neospring uses Turbo to fetch pages on click and replace the current HTML document, so the site feels smoother and like a SPA. The issue is the script tag that handles the ask function for profiles used a const variable in it. When Turbo would update the page, the new version of the script would fail to overwrite the ask function because it could not update the value of a constant.

The fix was as easy as updating one line.

Thanks for being patient! (also brought back shadows on responses)

Sorry , when I press enter once while trying to make a new line specifically on my bio it doesn't work and I have to press enter twice .. Is this intentional ?

This is how Markdown works. The spec requires you put two lines between paragraphs. You can also alternatively just put two spaces at the end of the first line and then do a line break to start a new paragraph, as per the spec.

Update

I'll ease whitespace a little bit to make it work!

spark why is it when I block someone , I cant even view their page at all. I do not like this

That is how blocking works in most places. You do not need to view their profile at all if you have blocked them, that is the point. Blocking somebody means you want nothing to do with them at all, you should not want to view their profile or anything about them if you have blocked them. That is implied.

I'll reconsider if enough people want it, but this is also the solution that most people preferred for blocking!

Hey, I've noticed the share function only shares the first line of text, when Twitter can handle a lot more, which makes it so I have to tediously copy ask and answer to fill everything in. Could you make it so it works like on retrospring, where what's copied/shared is the most Twitter can post, and messages above the character limit for Twitter get abbreviated with a little … character?

I'll up it to 280 characters (+40 characters). The function I wrote for this just takes two different parts of text and then combines them with a link and figures out how long each segment can be to fit within the target character range. I can likely also add a way for you to manually set the character amount.

Hi, I’m so sorry if this is the wrong place to put this here, but I’ve made two neospring accounts in attempt to get rid of this “You cannot access this resource” message but it won’t go away no matter what. I’m not sure what to do as even deleting my account wouldn’t work cause it said the same message again. I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue, but can you please look into it?

Currently not able to reproduce this on Neospring or local development server at all. This error can be thrown if you're IP banned, somehow the profile isn't allowing anonymous questions, or you're blocked somehow.

no idea if a concept like this even works but on tumblr there's the option to respond to asks privately and they won't appear on timelines and your profile, would that be possible to implement here, or nah?

It is technically possible to implement, but there isn't much need since there are already chats.
