Today, I started a changelog

Written by Brenda Zhang


Highlight:

  • I started a changelog. Super easy for me to write and publish this because it's just markdown pages! You'll be hearing from me a lot.

More stuff I did:

  • Implemented bookmarks. These use localStorage (a browser thing) so you don't have to log in and let me steal your data (yet). Will I eventually want to steal your data? Maybe. I added a toast that reminds you I'm not stealing your data (yet) and that your bookmarks will poof if you clear your browser data.

  • Create Saved Tools page. Because of the bookmarks feature, I had to implement the Saved Tools page too. It basically just filters down the tool directory to your bookmarks. Just had to tweak some text, update the search, and fix a few bugs along the way.

Minor things you wouldn't care much about but I do:

  • Added a link to submit your tool on the landing page so that it's super accessible and visible and you don't have to go to the Tool dropdown to see it. Also I get to use my yellow highlight color, which goes surprisingly well with the purple.

  • On the homepage, you can now search by pressing the Enter button instead of dragging your mouse all the way to the search button.

  • The search button uses a magnifying glass icon instead of the word "Search" now. Pretty cool.
