šŸ“£ Got an update sitting in the pocket...gonna change, a lot.

So what cool new things do we get after the upgrade?
A LOT on the backend which I REALLY like. As to the front?

I think the biggest improvement will be accessibility on Android. The PWA option is something I'm looking forward to playing with. In layman's terms, the site will appear and behave like an app. I've bitched about this time and time again. As you may have suspected, once again Safari on macOS and any iOS-based browsers are problems. What do you expect out of something ran by an Auburnite? They simply don't implement what most consider to be industry standards.

On the ambience side of things...news feeds will look different. The ability to grab text has always been there. We'll be grabbing images as well. The layout will look similar to this.

This is where it's going to get interesting. There are going to be different "thread types" integrated. More on that later. Upvotes, questions, etc.

The last time we ran this is when all the emoticons were added, among other things. I mention that to say this. We're going to be integrating GIPHY in the same end. This kind of thing...but without having to copy and paste a link.

I can do the same thing with audio...Eli with "Touchdown Alabama" kind of thing. It'll take a minute to get all of these pushed.

Part of what we have here are things we pay for, the book and the pickem are two. We get the framework, just have to build. A lot here is open source. It'll have to be put back in. Prolly 500 lines of code I've written in that's "extra." That'll have to be done again. It'll take a little time, but it'll be fun.
