good job

christicehurst

Sounds all good to me. How's the roadmap going? I should bookmark the damn link one day lol.

Franz

Yay!

Looks like my favorite feature is the orange bar on top - for some reason this makes everything look so new 😉

Berlyn

There goes my sweet sweet latency from Australia to Singapore. 🙁

I kid, I kid. Keep up the good work guys.

The preview is actually identical to how I envisioned it earlier today. I was actually going to post up the idea of showing it inline with the other replies but @Toby already beat me too it.

spasi

Toby Did you just change the location or upgrading the DO instance as well?

Currently I'm interested what is the system load for Flarum on DO 512MB instance, how many visitors per day too.

Last, is the preview only showed up on desktop view? I don't see it in mobile view or is there something I should do when posting reply?

Toby

spasi Just changed the location, still on the 512 MB instance.

A request to the discussion list takes ~350ms and 7MB of memory. A request for a page of posts is similar. Currently the server is sitting on 39% memory usage. I don't have analytics set up on the forum, but the homepage (flarum.org) gets about 200 visitors per day, and the forum is getting about 10 new user signups per day.

The preview is only on desktop for now, yes. We'll work out some way to have it on mobile too later.

spasi

Toby Thanks! What kind of server stack did you use to run Flarum? I want to test it later on NginX and (probably) OpenLiteSpeed.

Toby

spasi Laravel Forge. So yep, nginx.

Allineer Yes it's an extension 🙂

Dominion

Toby Also note that we've moved to a server in New York

If you can make it there,
You'll make it anywhere...!

Congrats on the update, it's coming along nicely!

Allineer

Toby Twemoji and emoticons. Emojis are automatically converted to Twemoji so everyone sees them the same. And we convert some common text emoticons (like 🙂 and 🙁) into Twemoji too.

@Toby, this feature is an extension?

Allineer

Toby Yes it's an extension

Coool!

@Toby, @Franz, thanks!

Dominion

Toby said last July that Flarum's running on a 512MB instance. That may have changed since then.

Regarding the choice of webserver, he said:

Toby Laravel Forge. So yep, nginx.

I can't wait for the beta 👍👣👊

Franz

We should probably add the preview feature when editing posts, too.

Berlyn

Franz The admin and moderator dots also don't appear in the preview, but that's not really a big deal. 🙂

Toby

Franz It's already a thing 🙂

wizgriz

The preview seems to make the text box sluggish. Could it be updated once the user stops typing for n milliseconds, or be updated on a timer instead of on every keystroke?

Fastidious

wizgriz on the desktop there is no sluggishness. Are you on mobile?

Toby

JoshyPHP OK, will look into that. Currently using a temporary element and retrieving its HTML, as you said, because it's easier to work in with Mithril.js. /cc wizgriz

wizgriz

Fastidious Well, there's sluggishness for me, on both. Maybe less so on small posts, but still there. Big posts start to become very noticeable. Regardless a text box shouldn't have any compromises, typing is a rapid process.

Dakoom

good! 🙂

dehbuff

any emoticons list?
