Changes to the website

Fix social embed images.

Search no longer returns the same results in multiple places.

  • search now sorts results from oldest (at top) to most recent (at bottom)
  • changed default search context to “sentences before and after”
  • all transcripts are now available and searchable
    • The remaining transcripts were synced automatically, so it’s not the same quality bar that we have achieved in other transcripts (see here).
    • We still need help to bring all transcripts to max quality.
  • removed several half-built features
  • added the ability to search for multiple terms
  • added bar chart for viewing and navigating search results
  • removed YouTube thumbnails from social embed previews
  • improvements to the homepage
  • (under-the-hood) updated the hash of all fact files
  • new header and improved search / share experience
  • improved social headers and thumbnails
  • You can now bookmark search results
  • Much easier to create a new user (email only)
  • New homepage
  • Improved account creation for meta.mytake.org
  • Improved “Get Involved” sections
  • Cropped homepage images for better aspect ratio
  • Improve homepage fonts
  • Backend infrastructure to support “git fact” API
  • Added onboarding stuff to every page
  • Changed the “git fact” API in preparation for public 1.0
  • The foundation now links directly to the source git facts
  • Lots of caching improvements
