More Patron Exposure - Weekly Update #4
🕑 Added 2021-03-21 12:06:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It is time for your technically one day late weekly update. Yet again I will remind people that you can connect your Patreon account on the settings page. Having said that, let us continue with the updates:
This week has been relatively quiet. Besides working on the cards system (which the edit page now works, but ain't nothing showing up on the video page yet) I have worked on some other things. You might have noticed the homepage has changed contents a little bit to give pro accounts more exposure on the homepage through "Latest from Patrons". You have even gotten your own page on the website.
Here is this week's changelog:
- Updated the website system again (some bug fixes)
- Homepage: Latest Videos now only shows 1 (one) latest video per creator to avoid spam (use the schedule system to your advantage to spread videos out!)
- Homepage: Trending is replaced with Latest from Patrons (the latest video per pro patron)
- Homepage: Trending is now a standard row under Latest from Patrons
- Homepage: Trending doesn't just show "most viewed uploaded in past two days" but actually what has gotten the most views in the last two days (old videos have a chance of showing up again)
- Added page with latest videos only from patrons
- Assets (images & videos) are now loaded through DigitalOcean's Spaces CDN (files get cached and should load faster)
- Bug fix: Commenting on a thread on mobile would hide the comment section (thanks Eskir for reporting that one)
Alright, that must be it. Next week I might chill out a bit on changes. I will need to limit myself on development before I burn myself out, and nobody wants that (I hope). Thanks a ton again for all your support!
Bandwidth has gone up to 4.5TB this month already. That is equal to last month, plus 0.5TB. Costs will likely hit the $100 mark. I might limit the viewing of 1080p video for regular visitors if the March costs get over that mark. What is your opinion on that? Let me know in the comments! I might get a post/poll up in the coming week concerning that limit too.
Bugs? Problems? Oopsies? tube.inflatevids@gmail.com, @InflateVids, support.inflatevids.xyz - Suggestions can be left in the comments!
Till next week,
Rick
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot, I have also hidden dislikes for the time being. The idea is to give the uploader control over if dislikes are enabled, but until that option is there they will be hidden.
