I can't help but give the novel ideas their own threads Update:

Introducing Kaleidoscope: A "Kick-back" exclusive

@trust_level_0 We've all been there or been guilty ourselves. You see an interesting thread or topic to post, but it leads to series of various media embeds from youtube, twitter or bluesky, etc and endless scrolling... this is where Kaleidoscope comes in-- A compact package of these embeds, available for view and/or dismissal. CURRENTLY, it's only available for youtube links-- which includes pop up video and dismissal. I was working on implementing bluesky and twitter/X, but they'll need a more examined approach and may not have the pop up feature once I'm done. Definitely need to account for the "X-out" feature already in place for those uninterested in any Elon content I'll return to them shortly and make updates, but for now there's bigger fish to fry. Here's an example in it's current state. When it's complete, ya'll should be able to mix and match: [Food Theory: Who's STILL Keeping Arby's In Business?] [How Chicken Took Over McDonald's] [Black Thought & Redman | Musicians on Musicians] [Terrifying moment stranded astronauts nearly drifted into space | 60 Minutes Australia]

Quick updates:

• I THOUGHT we had a joint for live boxing and mma data but is BS still looking into that,I have WAY more than some lil info & colors if I can get what i want going ... for boxing. It's still up for now just cause
• Been brainstorming some official logos and promos... this ain't my wheelhouse
• Kaleidoscope has been fixed, only activates on posts with multiple youtube links. Still working on bundling other platforms, etc

@trust_level_0 It's been a minute brehs and I owe ya'll a few updates. First off, thanks to everyone contributing and my apologies for not being as active with you. Just been caught up testing and in the admin panel.

• Kaleidoscope is down until I finalize the plugin
• Once I'm confident in it we're moving Apple Music, this should make both respond a lot quicker and eliminate any glitching
• The boxing/mma and team focused features will ideally feature a lot more than scores/color and are still being brainstormed. Got a rough idea for playoffs.
• Working on adding "pages" -- this software designed for endless scrolling (think IG, etc) but I have a prototype for pseudo-pagination in the works. Basically markers to help make the discussion a bit more familiar.
• Discord has been removed , no point in it since we already have a chat by default, etc.

@trust_level_0 its about to get real new updates:

• Instagram embeds are now available
• Kaleidoscope is complete and includes IG, changed the activation to posts with 3 or more sources that apply
• Apple Music is being converted to a plugin for better functionality next

... I wanna break this next part off cause this is the real.

• An offline version has been established! -- this is HUGE for prototypes and testing
• As a result, NEW concepts for the site theme are being brainstormed and researched-- and I PROMISE YOU!! This site will be unrecognizable from what you currently see when I'm done. Unlike any forums you've likely seen. We are GOING to break the mold
• A lot of this nerd shit is going to take a backseat as I focus more on building up our userbase and things of that nature

@trust_level_0 more updates.
Instagram has been modified (finally found the issue) and Facebook/IG posts should now work as well. I plan on bundling them into Kaleidoscope-- eventually... Apple Music has moved over to a plugin but I have to warn that there's a significant delay on the initial song as it verifies your account. Once that's confirmed you're good to go but I'll still try to improve it in spurts, same for them IG/FB/Thread sources. It's time to develop our new theme
