V0.5

GoPage V0.5

A rather beefy update to GoPage. Focused on getting all aspects of the application to a usable point. Which means large efforts were made to design, functionality, consistency, features, easier maintenance, and so on!

• Added additional HTTP logging options.
• Created Searchbar for Link Items.

Change Log

• Complete redesign of the Header.
• Created additional Templates & Sub-Templates for building pages:
  • Header
  • Footer
• Removed styling to edit & delete buttons. Instead using the consistent styling grow-shadow-hover
• Reworked universal.css to be easier to manage and edit, using build tools to concoct all modules into a bundle and serve the minified version.
• Reworked snackbars entirely, focusing on consistency, reusability, and non-blocking behaviors. Meaning all pages are now using the same snackbar, and same invocation functions, as well as many elements originally being part of modals are instead migrated to snackbars. With simpler text & UI, with the additional benefit of having these messages easier to localize.
• Improved translations application. Instead of relying on API requests, moving that responsibility to the template engine, allowing them to build at page build time rather than after. This also has many other benefits:
  • Less chained requests during page load
  • Significant network resources savings, as nearly all strings are supplied at page build.
  • String lookup table is no longer required having been phased out entirely.

• Brought all settings values into templating engine for Settings Page, fixing bug that would cause text to flicker. Also resulting in faster load times and faster speed index.

• Migrated to singular Universal Plugin Item Structs, resulting in less disk reads.
• Introduced Robots.txt to help prevent bot crawling if desired.
• Added Preload for custom fonts, reducing 'Time to Interactive' from 0.5s to 0.4s
