FrontierNav Update: 24 July 2022

Changes

• Added "Game Switcher" to navigation.
  • Quickly switch between games.
  • More features around this will be added in the future, such as customisation and notifications.
• Renamed "Plan to Play" to "Backlog".
  • "Plan to Play" was too wordy, making it hard to design for. All the other statuses use a single word.
• Games listed on the "Explore" page now show play status.
• Added play status filter controls for games on the "Explore" page.
  • Selecting the "Not played" status will show only games that haven't been added to your library.
• Added context-specific search to various pages.
  • For example, the "Explore" page will let you search only games. "Quick search" on the other hand will show games, series, companies, and so on.
• Redesigned profile link in navigation drawer.
  • Avatar, name and short ID is now visible.

Maintenance

• Removed "Disconnected" dialog.
  • This was an annoying modal which appeared after 15+ minutes of inactivity.
  • Sessions will now automatically disconnect and reconnect when the page loses and regains window focus respectively.
  • Further write-up about this here: Reducing Firebase Real-time Database Connections
• Fixed page titles not updating correctly.
• Fixed elements using margin instead of grid-gap.
  • Using margin for spacing elements is common in a lot of websites, and it's not immediately obvious that grid-gap provides a simpler solution and, despite its name, works on flex elements.

Thanks for reading.
