Appreciated Gambiato @Members next I describe all the changes I made for this new version
A) First: We have a new logo
This is one of the most notorious changes without a doubt, this new logo represents the new era of Gambiato, an innovative, dynamic era with a focus on constant evolution. This logo was designed by me.
Old logo (as reference):
B) Second: The New FEEDS feature
This is one of the coolest implementations of this new version, the FEEDS will allow you to find out everything that happens in the entire community in a very easy and orderly way
Feeds allow you to see part of the content of the threads or resources and interact with them, react or comment, without having to go directly to the thread or resource
It is possible to filter the FEEDS by type of content:
─ Posts
─ Profile Post
─ Threads
─ Resources
Also, from the "Social" tab it is possible to see all the posts of user profiles and interact with them, something like the "States" of WhatsApp
The idea is to offer a style very similar to that of Reddit (which is based on feeds)
Note: Feeds are a replacement for the "What's New" section and an extended form of the section above the forum list
C) Third: Tons of UI improvements
In this section I made changes to the following sections:
─ Color scheme: We now have a color scheme to match the logo, with shades of blue that convey a more "tech" impression instead of the dull and drab gray, in addition to being very pleasant for the eyes, it iscomfortable to see and does not irritate them
─ New font: We moved from Titillium Web to Inter, with weight adjustments in many areas, this will allow us better readability and navigation of all content
─ Layout tweaks: I fixed various inconsistencies in some parts of the design, in the different styles, I also reduced the overall width of the site for a more comfortable experience
Gambiato v1.0 as reference:
Traditional and default forum style as reference:
iO Dark Mode has a bright gray color by default, which can be very tiring and irritating to the eyes
D) Fourth: New Marketplace functions and structure
Good news for sellers, and for buyers too, the categories have been reorganized to simplify product exploration according to the most common types of sale, thanks to @jackoneill for create category list
It will now be possible to publish digital products, service offers and external products, all of which will display the new "Buy for $XX" button
According to the type of product at the time of creating it, it will ask you for certain data, such as duration time (for licenses, subscriptions or things like that), renewal cost, etc etc
Important note A: The new products for sale must be published as "Resources", when publishing the resource the thread will be created in the corresponding forum
Threads that are posted using the traditional method will not be approved
A thread on how to publish a resource for sale will be published later, in case you have any questions
E) Fifth: New Donations section
This section will allow all users to express their gratitude by making a donation, which will help us continue to maintain and improve this promising community
The funds would be used to maintain the systems infrastructure and cover operating expenses: Hosting, Domain, Licenses, Protection Services and all the related things
As well as making it easy for our management team to continue providing and investing in new WordPress plugins, themes, PHP scripts, mobile app source codes and much more
Gambiato Sponsor animated badge:
All donors will instantly receive the most visually exclusive badge (the only animated) until now and the amount donated will be visible on their profile
Important note: GAMBIATO DOES NOT HAVE AND WILL NOT HAVE ADS
All the actions that require investment have been done until now through private funds provided by my @GambitSteel, donations will be a great help for this now, because the private servers of Offshore hosting is not as cheap as traditional hostingF) Sixth: Hiding content to guests
Disabled public viewing of all:
─ URL's
─ Code blocks
─ Quote blocks
─ Spoiler blocks
Now to be able to see this content it will be necessary to register
G) Seventh: Information about Styles
Styles "UI.X" & "UI.X Dark" were removed for containing a slightly old visual styleThey will be replaced by two new styles "AC.UI" & "AC.UI Dark" which feature a light, geometric visual style and are compatible with the Infinite Screel of FEEDS
Well those are the highlights so far, uff easy to say but it took several days and several nights of constant tweaking and improvements
But the knowledge that we can all count on a pleasant, different and innovative place in many aspects is a good enough reward.
Many to all for their support and for their preference for Gambiato
GambitSteel ─ A user like you
