💬 Subreply Thanks to the new username line on mobile interface as discovered by on , Sublevel is now a fully functional on smartphones. The interface will remain compact on desktop since there's less available vertical space.

💬 Subreply Search features latest activity on Sublevel by default. It's the timeline everyone wanted, except it only shows unique updates or replies removing duplicates created by the same user. Makes much more sense for to become just a keyword filter on everything that was published.

Logangreer Thanks! What sets this apart from Twitter?
💬 Subreply 640 characters instead of 140, threaded conversations, fast server response times, low on CPU and memory, amazing on battery life and a responsive and better design than Twitter among other things.

💬 Subreply Switched to infinite scrolling on home feed and next/previous pagination suggested by on the rest of the site. Consider this a public A/B test.

🤔 John That's nice on the home feed!
Martijn Noticed my first annoyance. When I view the home feed and click "More" extra posts load, then if I want to view replies on that post I have to visit its page. At that point, I have broken my back button, because clicking the back button will only load the initial home feed and that is not at all where I left it.

Martijn For a continuous feed like Sublevel I think it is fine to drop pagination. Separate links add no value anyway since the content of those pages keep changing. As long as it is an enhancement and everything keeps working without JavaScript!
💬 Subreply It will continue to work without JavaScript, but you'll only get the last 10 items on each page. Actually, the ever changing behavior of Sublevel might bring duplicates in the feed when the "load more" link is pressed.

💬 Subreply Would you like infinite scrolling on Sublevel? It will be triggered by clicking on a "next page" link. It will also make each page faster by avoiding the count(*) query.

Mark Dain If you're moving away from pagination to only next/previous, might I make a suggestion; to display 20 rows, query for 21, and if you get 21, you can show the read more link

💬 Subreply This is why Sublevel doesn't use any external services like Amazon S3. Yep, everything here is still up!

👽 Paul Webb I've never understood the reliance on S3 for this very reason.

💬 Subreply This should be called an upgrade. Each section on Sublevel has been tweaked to achieve its best performance. It's as fast as with memcache enabled but without memcache. There's a request timer at the bottom of each page. Search is now instant because the index is triggered each time someone posts, so all is happening in real time. Messages received a small improvement too. They appear on top of each profile if you sent any message to that person. Light and Dark themes are back. Donations amount appear on your profile settings. An API page is up and it will be updated with more backend stuff. Happy subleveling!

John Olinda Thanks for bringing back the dark theme!
Mark Dain Great set of improvements! Always love reading your release notes. I was a bit surprised to hear memcached; I thought you used redis?

💬 Subreply The newest improvements: each post has a likes count near the replies count, a new line showing details about previously hidden replies and 3 new search sorting methods: current, liked, popular. RSS feed URL for has changed too in case you're using it to stay up to date with Sublevel.

Chris Gower Hello Sublevel. Just making my bi-annual return to my favourite social network. Can we now post links? Have seen a couple of imgur links in my travels.
💬 Subreply Hello again. No, no links are available to you. You have to come here more often in order to enable links. Just kidding... or not.

Martijn Does email me for replies-to-replies too? Even when I am the one leaving the reply-to-reply? That seems odd.
💬 Subreply Fixed. Thanks for reporting it! Emails were send even when parent posts were updated with new reply counts.
