About

The Tildes Issue Log is a monthly recurring post about the changes and progression that Tildes has made. Highlighting some of the newest additions and changes, as well as a complete table of every issue opened and closed in that month, along with some interesting statistics so you can get a look into the development process and a quick grasp of anything you may have missed.

Feedback

If anything is incorrect or you have anything that you'd like to see changed or added please open an issue, PM me or comment on the posted topic on Tildes.

If you'd like to write a highlight section or want to contribute in any other way, feel free to do so. Like Tildes, this will remain entirely open-source.

Highlights

Comment Tag... Labels!

Early on in September, comment tags were re-enabled. Primarily for experimentation and to see how people would use them. During the coming 10 days, comment tags received a few changes here and there to see what works and what doesn't. Eventually leading up to the introduction of the "relevance" comment sort order.

The relevance sort order was made the default and it's basically the "most votes" order however the comment tags also affect a comment's placement. So if people tagged your comment as "noise" it would become automatically collapsed, off-topic will be lowered compared to on-topic comments, etc.

Then, after another number of days, comment tags were renamed to labels. As well as a number of other changes and even a new, positive comment label entirely. Definitely a topic to read if you haven't already.

Scraping Data

On the 11th, scraping data was added using Embedly's "Extract" API. A plethora of things can be done with it but for now there's only been a handful of additions. Namely, embedding a tweet's content in a topic and showing the published date of an article if the article is 3 days older than the topic.

Syntax Highlighting

On the 21st, @Soptik's syntax highlighting contribution was implemented and will be a great addition to the style of the site. Especially over in ~comp.

You can find the merge request here and the announcement topic here.
