Hi all! Thank you so much for using the code editor and all the feedback and bug reports that have helped make it what it is. As you may know, there are not many people working on this editor, which means I/we don't catch certain bugs before the versions are pushed to th.circlejourney.net (partly human error, partly we don't have access to every possible device & browser the editor could be accessed on).

Just as a failsafe against that, I thought it'd be great to assemble a pinglist of users willing to preview and test new versions before wider release. Here's what that would entail:

1. Every time there's a new beta version, you'll get a ping on a forum thread in the World.
2. If it suits your schedule + interest, you can help test it. I'll try to set it up so that you're working with fresh code storage (so it won't affect your work on the actual th.circlejourney.net), but all the same I'd suggest being careful to back up anything before testing it.
3. If you test it, you can write a feedback post, reporting any bugs (or stating that you encountered no bugs), on the thread from step 1.

Being on the pinglist doesn't come with any obligations, of course, but I'll be writing thank-yous to everyone who sends their feedback.

If you're interested, feel free to write a comment below and I'll add you to the pinglist!

I just really enjoy design-based layout challenges where I'm working towards a visual, instead of required content. I have a few ideas and wanna know what sounds coolest to you!

Correct! 🎉

Answer:

Hi all - flying in with a hasty update about the sudden downtime that the TH code editor just experienced! Thank you to everyone who notified me about the server going down. Basically my hosting provider migrated my site to a new server, and I thought was well and good and wouldn't result in any downtime - but I forgot to update my Cloudflare records to point to the new address.

Loads of people noticed the website was down and let me know. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for letting me know! It should be fixed now, but let me know if it's still not working on your end.

While I'm here, I figured I'd make the much-requested update to Font Awesome 6. That should be going live in the next few hours. Many many thanks again to alyeong for the subscription as always.

Also, while you're reading this, I thought I'd review the Import feature (and deciding whether to retire or improve it) by running a poll. Vote and comment here!

It has been—as they say—A While. I've actually lost count of the number of months it's been since I last posted in here, but it looks like 11 entire months since my last bulletin.

Anyway sit tight, because things have been going on while I've been absent from TH. Remember when I said I was drafting a PhD application? Well, I got into that programme in February, and hoo boy has that blossomed into something. But also it has eaten up my entire life, including all the time I used to spend on creative work.

I would really, really like to get active in OC and creative spaces again and catch up with everyone I met on here (if you still use TH). So what's been going on? Here's my cliffnotes summary:

• So I started that PhD earlier this year, right? One thing has led to another, and I'm now triple-billing as a university tutor (interactive narrative), a primary school programming teacher, and a research assistant on a history/geography/design project.
• I presented at a conference in Sunderland last month! (Albeit remotely.) It was about how people build homes in video games, and I got to meet someone I admire/have cited in my own work and he fully supported my presentation and it was AAAA.
• Also just got conditionally accepted to a peer-reviewed conference in Tampere, and it has an associated publication so I'm possibly? going to be a published academic author soon? It was the first paper I ever wrote (about location-based games), and I am still kind of in disbelief + scared to jinx it :')
• I now have an offshore sailing anime project that is now my go-to project for relaxation/catharsis ⛵ I'm nothing if not consistent in my preferred themes. None of the characters are uploaded here yet, but it's been sitting in my subconscious for a year now, and I promise I'll have the characters up shortly! I even designed a profile theme and made a theme song for them.
• The TH editor somehow gets 1000 hits daily now. idk how this happened but it's been wild seeing the stats going up. Sorry about the lack of updates - I'm aware that it's still not up to date with the Font Awesome 6 icons, but have not yet had the chance to look into it.
• Oh yeah, my right ear has apparently just decided stop working right, and doesn't pick up low and high frequencies anymore. The doctors cannot figure out why it's doing that, so now I guess I just need to make all the music that lives in my head, before it gets worse.

I'm positive I'm forgetting half of the things I could be saying here. What's new with you? Let me know below!

Hi! So I've been thinking about having my TH code editor as a repo on Github (actually. It already is. But I'm thinking of directly maintaining it via Github) so that we could potentially turn this into a proper community project for other coders with HTML5/JS/PHP experience. Would this interest anyone? I'd love to hear from you! Also, I mostly work solo and I am not too experienced with prepping code for collaborative work, so I'm always happy to chat with someone more experienced.
