Greenfield Integration#
We are excited to announce our integration with BNB Greenfield, enhancing data security and ownership by utilizing decentralized open-source storage chains like Greenfield.
From now on, newly published or modified posts and site configs will be simultaneously uploaded to both IPFS and Greenfield. The addresses for these uploads can be found at the bottom of each page.

Batch Post Actions#

Enhanced Table of Contents Formatting#
Bold Italic Strikethrough #
We now offer advanced formatting options in the table of contents, including bold, italic, strikethrough, mathematical expressions, and more for a visually appealing presentation.
Code changes: @birdgg #430 & @iwsr-657 #382
Enhanced RSS Feeds#
While email subscriptions are a viable option, we recommend using RSS feeds for greater control and flexibility. We currently support the following RSS feeds:
-
The Community
-
Individual Blog
By default, these feed addresses are in JSON Feed format. To use the traditional RSS format, simply add ?format=xml to the URL.
Code changes: d1a6c22 & 9beab8c
Undo Likes#
To undo a like, simply click the like button again. This will display an option to revert your previous action. Keep in mind that both likes and undo likes will remain recorded on the blockchain.
