KASEI
Changelog
What changed on this site, newest first.
-
Smoother photo viewer, browser uploads
The photo viewer no longer jumps in size while the full image loads, the latest photo fills its card on the home page, and photos can now be uploaded from the browser: resized and stripped of location data on the device, then published in one go.
-
Mobile overhaul
Phones get layouts of their own instead of squeezed desktop ones: card rows that swipe sideways with dots (home, cats, uses, trips, playlists), photos in two columns or two-row shelves, a full-screen photo viewer (swipe for the next photo, down to close, tap to hide the caption) and tighter spacing on every page.
-
Live Discord card and a self-updating Now page
The Discord card on the home page is now built in the site's own style and updates live (status, current game, what's playing on Spotify) instead of a third-party image. The Now page fills in what I'm listening to, watching and playing by itself.
-
Photos by month and Spotify playlists
The Photos page leads with the featured photo, groups the rest by month (or one big grid) and shows trips as albums, with each thumbnail loading over a tiny blurred preview. The music collection gained my public Spotify playlists, playable right on the page.
-
New About, Uses and home strip
A calmer About page, a Uses page with gear panels and software as logo chips, and a strip on the home page with what I'm up to and a peek at my gear.
-
Behind the scenes
Content can be edited from the browser and goes live with the next build, and a daily health check watches the services the site relies on, with an alert when one breaks or a token is about to expire.
-
A livelier home page and deeper music stats
The home page now opens with what I'm listening to (and my current obsession), the latest photo and the latest devlog instead of a grid of links. Music got a new Listening now card, a Last 30 days chart and a longer all-time artist list.
-
Music, rebuilt
Three pages instead of one: an overview with what's playing and what I played recently, stats with top charts, a listening clock and my music eras, and a collection with an album wall. You can also recommend me a song.
-
New Photos section
A gallery of my photos by month, with a page for each one. Location data is stripped from every photo before it goes online.
-
Cats, redone
Portrait cards for Mia and Monty, one gallery with filters, a card in memory of Lily, and a cat-themed 404 page.
-
Projects, Now and Uses
Project pages with devlogs for the game and everything else I'm building or learning, plus a Now page, a Uses page and this changelog. Hobbies are now grouped by what I make, play and do, with a few live bits.
-
Better recommendations
The recommendation form has tabs for anime, manga, movies and series, and finds the exact title as you type.
-
Fonts fixed, pages prerendered, images optimised
Headings finally render in the fonts the site always asked for. Public pages are prerendered and served straight from the CDN, images come in AVIF and WebP at several sizes, there's a stricter content security policy and a sitemap.
-
Version 1.0
Small fixes, refreshed hobby descriptions and social links.
-
Recommend me something
The Hobbies page takes anime, manga, movie and series recommendations.
-
Easier on phones
The menu button on phones moved to the bottom right, and About and Hobbies got a refresh.
-
Music section
What I'm listening to right now, straight from Spotify, plus favourite artists and songs.
-
