The browse page has been improved a lot! Check it out to see the new features, such as better project sorting, and showing specific categories.
Thank you, LS97, for making that!

Very basic galleries have been implemented!

To see what one looks like, check out my first gallery. To create one, there is a link on your user page under "My galleries". To add projects to a gallery, find a project, and click "Add to a gallery".

Galleries are coming very soon, probably tomorrow. It all depends on how much I am doing.

The search has been completely implemented. We may make improvements to it over the next few days, but it works fine, and also will suggest similar keywords if no results show up (useful for people like me who maket lofs ot typso).

Yeah, however it still is in progress. I'm working on improving it.

Yay! Happy holidays everyone! A great addition would be fixing the project --> text bug though...

It's December. We're all thinking about one thing: semester exams. Everybody dreads them, and (I hope) we all spend days studying for them. Those days are long and tedious. For me, those days are starting now. I won't be doing any coding in the next few days. However, after my exams are over in a few days, I will have winter break. During that time, I won't have any worries, and I can spend lots of time coding! So, to celebrate the holidays, LS and I are going to improve the site. Here is the plan:

✓ Galleries
We are going to add galleries to the site. Many sites have them, we should too. A gallery would be a collection of projects, and the creator of the gallery would be able to choose who can add projects to them.

✓ Site search
The most striking missing feature on this site is a search tool. I look around the site, and I always feel one is missing.
We will make a basic search tool that can search projects and comments.

✓ Projects page improvement
We feel like the current projects page is slow and annoying to navigate. We will try making a more intuitive interface.

If you have any other suggestions or ideas to improve the features above, they are very welcome!
Happy holidays!
