With any luck you won’t notice anything, but I just wrapped up a set of code modernization to make sure that the site continues to function for years to come. Admittedly again, I hadn’t done much with the underlying codebase since starting the site back in 2013, and apparently things have changed slightly since then.
What Changed
Really just updating code, but more specifically:
Security Improvements
- Password hashing increased password security, yay!
- Session security more secure session and cookie stuff. No monsters should be stealing your cookies.
- Other security stuff that pretty much says it all.
Code Quality
- It’s better now. Good enough to share with you as open source, no way, but better.
What Stays the Same
Everything you see and use remains exactly the same! This was a pure backend update with:
- ✅ Same functionality
- ✅ Same design
- ✅ Same mobile experience
- ✅ All your data preserved
Coming Soon
With the backend modernized, I’m getting ready to start the redesign phase. Stay tuned for updates on the new design!
