Note that there is currently a bug with rating the Audio Soundtracks, looking into it!

Still working on the new design - can’t believe I first previewed it to Patrons 6 weeks ago now!!

But these things take time!

I am so close to it being ready for beta testing! Today I worked on the homepage, which is a really fun page with lots of animation and showcasing all the site has to offer - much better than the current one I think!

(As the animations are pretty key, I won’t share a screenshot of it to Patrons yet, they will have to wait til they see it live :wink:)

Also today I fixed a bottleneck I didn’t even realise I had, and sped up the test site quite a bit for certain pages - so I copied it across to the live site too :smile:

Oh and added some more missing stories today, some comics, a BBV, some BBC audio dramas.

That’s it for now!

Lots of work on the new site design today!

I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Doing my best to get this all done before Christmas!!

But… I am going away for another week starting tomorrow (I know!! :laughing:) so that will delay things a bit.

Gonna really bunker down and get it done when I’m back!

I’ve been quiet on here lately because all my updates have been about the new design, on the Patrons special category.

But here is an update: Everything is going really well, I only have a few small things to do and then I will do a full round of testing with the help of the Patrons.

Aiming to launch a week before Christmas!

Watch this space!

I’m creating a roadmap that people can vote on features and decide what to work on next.

Sorry for the topic spam that this will result in :laughing:

Roadmap it’s a work in progress…

I’ve updated the post about the #Roadmap so it explains how voting works, how many votes you get, and when you get your votes back.
