Landing page

Worked on making a landing page, logo marquee, footer etc. Going to now make specialized setup flows for all the tools going to start with openclaw, i want this to make selfhosting tools really easy and i wil try to support a lot of the popular tools.

Custom theme improvements

Custom themes were a bit outdated and pretty broken. But now thats fixed, they’re more customizable, and work properly everywhere.

IMPROVEMENTS!! 8 prs

• Track middle click for repo and demo clicks during voting (PR)

What’s being worked on rn:

• See i tried doing this in SOM, but I was using a bad library so it led me to a frustrated failure. But now https://github.com/dickermoshe/convex-dart I’ve found a better way to use convex in flutter so i’m going to switch, this will allow me for easy realtime stuff, like friend challenges etc and overall be a better db than supabase

Screenshot tool!

• Annotate/crop/edit your devlog attachments, right in flavortown, reduces friction and saves time of using other tools, and you get a better image!
• Theres lines, arrows, curved arrows, rectangle, ellipse, text, cropping. You can use any color, any font on google fonts for the text, and roughness adds a bit of a sketchy feel to the annotations.
  hope you find it useful :)

Link finder and improvements

• Themed new stuff
• And some other bug fixes

Inline devlog editing & version history

Who wants to go to a new page to edit the devlog might as well do it right here, also markdown toolbar for it too.

And same with version history git diff like differences highlighted and shown directly here instead of navigating 2 times away

Tutorial! who knew it’d take that long.
Anyway, a tutorial to guide you through all the major features in ft utils, spotlights, handles cases for example you dont have any goals it auto adds to show, also efficiency if you already have a theme selected and sidebar pinned it skips those steps, it background scans projects for showing you the inline devlog form, etc.

Also fixed readability on the 2 dropdowns in shop. also for flavortown vote feedback i fixed the change detection because the timestamp changed so it used to commit everytime & also fixed the workflow to have permissions to commit & run hourly.

Voting feedback & theming improvements

• Now you can see some feedback on your ship’s voting, the data is from #flavortown-share-votes.
• Aligned these icons cause it is kinda annoying
• Themed the accordion modal
• Themed 404 page

Raycast for flavortown + improvements!

• Cmd+K/Ctrl+K opens a command panel where you can do most things just from there, this includes settings, navigation, theme changes, directly new devlog, go to a project
• Improved the shop goals thing with theming the dropdown icon, moving the cumulative/individual outside the accordion, prevented indefinite updating of the divs
• Added lavender option to catpuccin, so now mauve/lavender, you can choose
• Themed the layout selector modal

Ship statistics, bug fixes, admin stuff

• Total time & devlogs per ship statistic
• Fixed username truncation even when not pinned

• Also, there is now a modal when you have 2 or more images uploaded, the modal shows up so you can do two image layout styled image too.

Theming & Bug fixes

• Worked on theming the kitchen announcement, and properly fixed chart theming.
• Chart tooltip also now works, previously had some errors.
• Project ideas modal is now themed
• Shop order background, shipping address, bg of item were themed
• Username truncation bug

Shots.so integration! and other improvements

Now, you can stylize your devlog attachments with ease using shots.so, and no need to import/export pictures as flavortown utils already handles that!

Other improvements:

• Achievements and leaderboard in sidebar.
• Achievements page has more statistics such as % complete, and x potential cookies remaining
• Sidebar pinned now has the full overlay on the active instead of it being cropped
• Kitchen now integrates the achievements and leaderboard stats.

Doomscroll devlogs

Buffet, you can now doomscroll devlogs on the explore page, and like/comment/follow/report from the same doomscroll UI along with infinite loading, have fun.

Regarding markdown, everything works cyteon added the styles :) and i also added underline

Markdown support!

You can do all the fancy stuff easily through the toolbar, and even see a preview.

Hope you have fun!
The preview was kinda hard tbh

The cumulative progress changing instantly is now a thing after order change, before it didnt work, needed a refresh. Also fixed a lot of theme stuff, like fixing inconsitencies across the 3 themes, fixing the user section in navbar for ocean theme, making the profile page, not feel so blocky with themes, themed the orders section, and some other things.

Added cumulative goals progress so like the progress bar goes 1 by 1 instead of being invidual, also improvements to the themes, and i made the kitchen statistics also improved

I improved theming on multiple places like api docs, extensions text etc. also setup tracking for the extensions tab, and now you guys have textures everywhere not plain bg’s anymore!

This mainly, progress with time calcs,

Proper theming for this, also curved graph, better resolution, also colored green - earnt, spent - red.

kitchen is now useful, because be real after steps/tutorial it is worthless so.. made is useful as a quick overview glance

Reorganized this, so that there isnt 3 rows per vote, instead its cleaner with just 1 row per vote, also themed this table. also comments are now differentiated in themes

Overcooked theme, skip button for votes, and a support for sidebar pinning even on small screens

images are no longer cropped in devlogs and total project stats too, also theming for admin stuff obvious reasons i cant post that here

Show progress of each item using the bg, also sidebar pinning fixes for long names (im looking at gizzy), and some theme fixes.

Search!! Search any project you like, in the explore page.

Improved goals UI, looked too messy, so this better layout + priority goals + profit?

mainly added achievement auto-claim, the extension auto claims achievements for you, removing the hassle. also started work on a better goals UI, too messy

I made goals a lot better, with supporting accessories to be added in goals, and quantity, delete directly from the my goals section, in each shop card now too, if the item has accessories you can see them instead of having to go to the order page to see them. I also had another project voting sighting, so themed a few more things on that.

Worked on readme, privacy policy, images for feature showcase/chrome webstore etc, added theming to voting elements however couldnt test it cause it went away, and some firefox manifest stuff etc.

profile page theming too

some other little theme fixes like this part in project edit, etc.

sidebar pinning is so unnecessarily hard idk why? but sidebar pinning, also themes support for firefox w browser polyfills, and themes hueing more stuff like user avatar etc. Everything should be covered now w themes! Feel free to test at: https://github.com/hridaya423/flavortownutils/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Themes! custom theme, catpuccin theme, oceanic theme. Custom is almost every color customizable, to make a theme that you like, catpuccin mauve is tuned and themes every part of the site :) oceanic is just blue, and gives sea vibes maybe because i like blue i made it?

Made the goals system better, and also now pasting is already in the platform so removed that code, made a readme, cleaned up some code,

I dont like going to a new page for making devlogs, so now its integrated into the project page, and also devlog every x min stat on the project banner div thing.

I was testing the inline devlog form’s submit ability, and it worked?

So, i hid the like shop tutorial and not order free stickers but appr you can’t order anything else without ordering free stickers so uh. I setup the github workflow release along w the 2 manifests (chrome/firefox) too. also made the devlog attachment/image pastable so you don’t have to save the screenshot every time.
