Part of developing any good website involves taking the time to revise what’s been built in the past. There are many new features I’d like to add to inConversation, some of them requiring quite a lot of time to develop.
I’ve recently had the chance to review the code behind the site, and, having recently picked up a few new tricks, ended up re-writing much of the code. The good news is:
- The new code is cleaner and easier to maintain.
- It’ll be easier to add new features in the future.
- The site runs a little faster.
- Many bugs were fixed.
You”ll also notice an updated design. While the old design was functional, I think you’ll agree that the current design is a little more pleasing to the eye. Part of the new design features the account/settings section split into sections. This has been done so that as more options are added (some nice surprises coming here soon!), it’ll be easier to find your way around.
The new design could use a few tweaks, but any comments you have on the new design, and ideas for improving it further are welcome. (At some point, this blog will be updated to incorporate the new design too).
If you’re wondering what’s happening with some of the other planned features – well, this code upgrade will make them possible much sooner. Stay tuned!
