Just a small and boring routine update to the website, this time around. We have moved from our previous hosting situation at heroku, to a new one, that I hope will serve the needs of this website while being easier on the wallet.
I also took this opportunity as a good time to update a bunch of things on the backend. Many of the packages used in creating this version of the website hadn't been updated since it was first created way back in 2019. It's hard to believe it's been 7 years since then. The site has always had some tweaks to make interacting with it easier on mobile, but I was never super satisfied with how that looked and have taken the time to update that while I was at it as well.
In all likelihood nobody else will notice much of a difference, especially in the desktop version, but that's to be expected from back-end changes like this. In any case, if you've never pulled up the site on a mobile device before, now is a great time to give it a try! And feel free to check out the major announcements from the last few posts there, while you are at it. See you next time!
