Development for Jappleng resumed from a few months of hiatus
due to mandatory life related things and so new features and
improvements can be done. Presently the new editor is being
implemented which allows full control over content posted as well
as being able to upload images and media directly into the post.
Forums may seem like they are dated but they are proven over
time to be better than social media in the sense that instant
gratification isn't encouraged but rather long, constructive
discussions are created and maintained. They both have their ups
and downs but forums for a community intended to discuss topics at
length require it I think and that's why despite J-Spot Social
being a thing, I think the forums are important for other
reasons.
What kind of features would you like to see around the forums?
I haven't encountered anything I couldn't program ;)

Now that the new editor is available around the site including
the forums, it'll be much easier to create posts and replies! I
also fixed a lot of visual issues and made it look nicer. Next I
need to add a latest posts feed on the main forum page which will
list you guessed it, the latest posts. I might divide it into two
sides so one side might be latest posts and the other might be
latest threads
For example:

Then I would like to fix the issue where all posts are new. I'm
not sure why it doesn't work so a bit of investigation will be
needed to fix that. I could bring back the “who's online” thing but
I don't know how I feel about that.
I'd like to also make latest forum posts related modules behave
“live” so when something new appears it shows up there. The only
issue is that there's a lot of live feature already and it's
putting a huge strain on the server. Database queries are CPU
intensive after all.
I need to put back User ID cards and enable badges for the
forums as well. If you're not aware, ID Cards is a well, ID card
that pops up when you click the button to show it. It shows your
card theme that you pick from a list (need to unlock different
ones), your avatar and some other info there. I might expand on
that system in the future to include “active time” and other
customizable options for it.
Subscriptions and pinning topics for yourself are probably good
features to have as well. But first I need to finish the new
notification system. Pinning topics for yourself is when you want
to monitor a thread temporarily, you can press a pin button and
it'll keep it at the top of the list. You can unpin it later easily
and manage these pins in the topics list.
I'm not entirely sure I know what other things can be added to
the forums but if there are any ideas I'm open to them.
