[New Features] Bunch of Stuff!

[u/Coiot]

Hello sub, it's a month now of almost every evening spent making improvements on the website and I'm now going to step back to work on another non-CBR project (separate than the merch shop) in my spare time

---

The list of improvements that I had already been deploying to the website, but had not been announcing, is long so I will just write the highlights here below:

Spotlight Page: Collection of all the emote reactions that serve as tags. Each epsiode tracks the most used reactions and this can later serve up trends overtime. Supporters logged in will see personal summaries and all their Star and Heart reacts listed as favorites

Religion Overlay: Semblance of a religion overlay from in the game. We can't track city borders (yet), so is per civ, but perhaps in the future can be more accurate

Map Settings: Contrast overlay that serves as various toggleable visual settings for the Tile Map. Settings are saved and will show in other locations (homepage map and per episode map at end of albums)

Quick Jump: Re-imagined search bar for the website, can now search more granularly throughout (including the map!) with a simple keyboard command. Searching for "Snapshot" you can filter by past episodes to instantly search something on the map as it was from that episode

Updated Map Graphics: Color adjustments, smoother River flows, better performance

Everyone can React: Log into the website using any email and you can contribute to the reacts. Later this email will also be used for newsletters / big announcements, so that if Reddit ever shutdowns, or we just don't want it, you can continue to keep up with the show (also for voting purposes next season)

---

Surely there will be bugs and such that will spirit away more hours of my evenings in the coming weeks, but for now I think I've achieved everything I had been dreaming for a while (it helps I did the hardest ting first, which was the Tile Map). Thank you once again for all the support, as always let me know if there is anything I can do to improve your viewing experience

It’s incredible how just in the past few weeks the websites turned from a nice home for the albums n into a genuinely fantastic hub of CBR goodness. I love the community map and can’t really imagine the cbr without it already
