Release Notes
Welcome to PalWeb! Here's what's new.
PalWeb v1.1
As usual, the development of PalWeb proceeds with a mind of its own. Sometimes, what seems feasible at first
turns out to be far more challenging & time-consuming than expected, while daunting tasks come together
naturally & everything falls quickly into place. Meanwhile, the political moment we live in permits no leisure
or frivolity; for all the time I spend on PalWeb, I spend as much, for better or worse, on building political
power where it is needed to bring an end to this madness. So, I'm sorry for my working pace, which never seems
to reach the rate I envision.
PalWeb v1.1 is the ribbon-cutting for a variety of improvements introduced over the course of the summer,
in addition to introducing for the first time a key promised feature. Here's what's new & improved:
- You can now study Decks through the Flashcard Portal, with several options to customize how you view
flashcards.
- Turns most Deck, Term & Sentence objects into reactive Vue components for more intuitive interaction;
pinning, etc. no longer triggers a page refresh.
- Renders most dropdown menus through Vue to place them dynamically in relation to their trigger &
the available space, preventing page overflow.
- Various design improvements in the Dictionary, namely in the display of attributes at the top & inflections
further down the page.
- Added a "Random Term" prompt to Dictionary pages to jump more seamlessly between pages.
- Reconfigured how Sentences are built, tying them to the database & making them dynamic.
- Fixes an issue where the Billing portal was hard to find.
- Sorting now works as intended in the Workbench.
- Word of the Day has been fixed (finally).
- Updated front page.
Of course, there's still a lot of work left to do. For the rest of the year, I will be working on creating an
in-house application for recording & managing audio files. I don't want to just whip up something quickly,
because this would be the basis of the audio file management functionality of LangWeb. In the remaining
time, I will continue supporting the site, adding Terms to the Dictionary, etc. Proper work on the
Academy will begin in January & would be completed by summer.
