v2.3.0

22 September 2026

New 3

  • Web Fiction & campaigns — a new format for short, complete 4-part serials, with its own reader (part-by-part navigation and a shareable end screen) and campaign events you can join for XP by reading, liking, commenting or publishing. Look for the Web Fiction band on the homepage.
  • Genre pages & featured books — every genre now has its own page (with its own icon, colour and "Featured in {genre}" shelf) at /genres, and posts have a matching category page. Reachable from Browse and site search.
  • Preview: the next homepage — a reworked homepage (new hero, a Web Fiction campaign band, genre tiles) is live at /home for anyone to try; the "Homepage next" pill on the current homepage takes you there. The homepage you're used to keeps working as-is.

Improved 2

  • Notifications got a redesign — the bell dropdown and full notifications page now show a consistent icon and avatar for every type of notification (a few had been silently falling back to a generic icon), plus an All/Unread filter and a simpler "Load more" on the full page. Also fixed a privacy gap where a report notification's photo could reveal the reporter's identity even though the text itself stays anonymous.
  • Chapters and posts now show one combined popup listing everything still missing before you can publish (preview text, category, price), with the fields to fill right there — instead of scattered separate warnings.
