Introduced a specific height for the navbar logo across the application
to ensure consistency in the navbar's visual presentation. By adjusting
the CSS to set a fixed height and applying the corresponding class to
the logo in the header, the layout becomes more predictable and
harmonious, significantly improving the user interface's appearance.
Corrected the logic for identifying image files without an embedded type
by fixing the misplaced quotation marks in the conditional. This change
ensures that the correct files are appended with proxy URLs for step
images. Additionally, removed unnecessary whitespace for cleaner code
structure.
Removed several Matrix chat room links from the README and streamlined
the list of instances to enhance readability and maintain a focus on
primary resources. Updated footer source code references to point to a
singular, official repository for increased clarity and to reflect the
project's centralization efforts. This change should make the
documentation less cluttered and more user-friendly for new
contributors.
Refactored the project search function to dynamically construct query parameters, improving readability and maintainability. Introduced several new parameters to refine search results and included a timeout for reliability. Added logging for better debugging and transparency about the search operations.
Updated category and search routes to use the new search function capabilities, ensuring relevant results and proper exception handling. Additionally, implemented pagination support for better user experience when browsing projects.
To improve the UI, the category and project listing templates have been refreshed with a modern layout, including the use of Bootstrap classes and better organization of content.
Resolves issues with inefficient search parameter construction and user interface inconsistencies.
Streamlined the header's HTML structure by consolidating navigation elements and search form into more efficient class usage, improving maintainability and readability. Removed fixed height for the logo to enhance flexibility in different resolutions. These adjustments make future styling and responsiveness optimizations smoother.
Improved visual consistency in 'article.html' by adding 'justify-content-center' to each media row, ensuring images, videos, and iframes are centered within their containers. Additionally, applied 'wrap' class to text content for enhanced readability. These changes cater to better user engagement and a more polished layout presentation.
Extended environment variables to allow for greater configurability and aligned debug mode detection with the new STRUCTABLES_DEBUG variable. Additionally, introduced command-line arguments for specifying Invidious instance URLs and unsafe iframe display settings.
The content fetching logic has been revised for fetching JSON data directly instead of scraping HTML, resulting in a more robust and efficient data extraction process. New templates accommodate the change and present a cleaner UI, including handling of iframes, downloads, and proper proxying of external resources.
HTML templates have been refactored to utilize better layout and styling while enhancing support for iframes and downloads, complete with the new ability to block iframe content from outside sources unless explicitly permitted. This security-focused feature protects end-users from potentially unsafe content.
Corrected the Matrix room URL in the README documentation to point to the new `#structables:private.coffee` room. This ensures users can find and join the correct discussion channel.
Updated CSS to include word-wrapping rules and adjusted the article template to apply these styles to content rows, ensuring better handling of long strings without space characters and improving the readability of articles with unusual text content. No layout disruption expected.
Corrected improper nesting within for-loop structure in the article template to ensure that step content is appropriately wrapped in a div, resolving visual inconsistencies in article step display. This change maintains structured and clean output for article content.
The README documentation has been updated to reflect the change in URL for the front-end alternative provided by Private.coffee. The updated link points to the new correct domain.
Updated the project name and references across various files, including README, template headers, and footers to reflect the rebranding from 'Indestructables' to 'Structables'. The favicon has been removed, and the main logo updated to align with the new branding. The commit modifies links to the source code repository as part of rebranding efforts. This change creates a clear distinction from the upstream project while maintaining acknowledgments to the original sources.
- Add 'privacy.txt' to .gitignore to prevent checking it in
- Refactor data storage from arrays to dictionaries for better data handling in 'main.py'
- Include 'pathlib' import for handling filesystem paths
- Introduce new CSS and Bootstrap files providing updated styles and responsive design elements
- Modify HTML templates to use updated data structures and enhance accessibility
These changes improve code readability, maintain project consistency, and enhance the front-end presentation. This work is part of ongoing efforts to better manage project data, secure sensitive information, and provide a more robust user interface.
Enhanced the Indestructables fork by eliminating its reliance on Selenium and Playwright's Chromium binary. This change streamlines the setup process and potentially improves performance and stability. Additionally, a new matrix room link has been added to the README for community engagement. Related project licenses reiterated for clarity.
Removed dependencies on external libraries such as `requests`, `requests-html`, and `playwright` in favor of Python's standard libraries like `urllib` for HTTP requests and parsing functionality. A more robust and efficient data update function was introduced to scrape API keys and fetch project data using Typesense. Transitioned from a manual browser-based scraping approach to an API-based one for improved stability and performance. Added logging for better monitoring and debuggability. Error-handling now leverages `HTTPError` from `urllib.error`. Shifted the configuration of debug mode to rely on an environment variable, aligning with Twelve-Factor principles. Removed unused functions and streamlined the handling of various routes within the Flask app. This change shifts the project towards a more maintainable code base by using built-in libraries, reduces external dependencies, and improves resilience and scalability of the web scraping components.
