Today we made some changes to the very topmost menu bar. It was pretty cluttered as we inherited it from the reddit open source code, as it would just keep listing subs until it went off the right edge. It was redundant as well, as there's a drop-down list from the "MY SUBS" link in the top-left. We removed the horizontal list, and in its place added the "EDIT SUBS" button. Looks much more organized!
The "EDIT SUBS" button takes you to a list of all your subscribed subs, where you can unsubscribe or search for others to subscribe to in the other tabs.
Next, we're not yet announcing it, but I just want to let everyone know that after a few roadbumps, the mobile site is well underway. We're about 90% ready for release. We're putting the finishing touches on it before we release it to you all, but it is much easier to read and browse saidit on a mobile phone, especially in portrait mode. Even in a browser just 320px wide, it looks great. We will be releasing this soon.
Lastly, we finally have a development server. This won't change anything for you all in the short term, but for us as developers of the code, it's a big deal. We can now try out big changes to the code without making saidit go down, because we have our own server system to test on. And best of all, we managed to do it without any additional cost because it's a separate setup that we were able to build ourselves that manages to get the job done. So we don't have to pay for any additional servers for this ability to have our own playground for trying out new code for saidit, which is great.
Also our next planned small feature is next to the existing 'hot', 'new', 'funny', and 'top' tabs under the banner, we plan to add an 'insightful'-only sort tab (to filter out the funny stuff and only look at serious things) and a 'recent comments' link tab that goes to saidit.net/comments. There is already a link for this at the bottom but it seems natural to have one as a tab at the top too.
Anyway, we'd love to hear your thoughts or feature suggestions. What is most important to you?
