Disruption expected | Database Migration in progress!

Writing Things Down

Welcome to the First Ever GoMedia Group e-conference.

It is literally me just writing things down, but ey-oh it's not about a single update, but rather my plans for the future.

DESIGN ASPIRATIONS
The first set of goals is for the design of the website.

You may have noticed a number of design overhauls recently;

Quick Launch is testing a new QL5 design.
Media Otaku was spruced up with Glass design and is slowly moving, itself, to a redesign.
Whistle, Tabbit, Tabbit Notes are chilling atm.
I started a redesign for Shopping list, however, have had it on the backburner for the last year or so.
Business HUB is about to have an overhall, but not just yet.

But the biggest update overall, is update HUB.

And there is a reason for this.

Quick Launches updates have primarily been backend with more to come.
Media Otaku has been planned for backend CODE updates.
Shopping List was waiting for an update to design systems, as I think it will work nicely with Glass, not to mention I want to unify designs.
Tabbit and Tabbit Notes featureset is still being finalised, not to mention, I want to get a developer on board to develop a chromium extension that allows fpr additional functionality, not to mention the plans to split it off from Media Otaku.
Business HUB whilst it is going to be a core product, it needs to have all other products ready.

Lastly in this section, you may have heard something before;

UNIFYING DESIGN
My primary goal across all sites is to unify design schemes across all the sites. Distilling about 6 or 7 designs down to 3.

So this the first episode of a series of updates regaring future plans.

PS I know I've done a similar update but it wasn't very substantial. So this is a fixed version. Also, now I have a feature to add updates to multiple services at the same time :)

Quick Update

Not a lot has happened in this updated to Smart Filter, on the full size version, we're experimenting with a few designs, please let me know if you like any of them on Whistle :)

Updated Update Hub

Update Hub has had an overhaul today (or I guess starting yesterday, since it's 00:33 as I write this).

 

Phase 1: Database Migration

To start the evening I recompletly redesigned the database for Update HUB from the ground up. Because of this, updates are currently out of order, will eventually fix this.

 

Phase 2: Prettier update pages

Since I was updating the databases, the update page was looking tired (I mean, it's been around since I first created the site 5 years ago). So I rebuilt the pages to look better.

 

Phase 3: New Backend

The reason I started the renewal of Update HUB was due to the backend being broken, this meant it needed a complete rebuild. The new version is clean, sleek and fully functional.

 

Phase 4: Additional Features

As part of the update, I was able to make a couple of new features. Namely; Specially designed mini update pages for Update HUB Mini and new fixed width pages that do not look awful.

 

Please enjoy the new redesign, I will shortley be adding a comment system powered by whistle.
