Release 2026-10-25

Features and fixes

• Log in with Glowfic: Other sites and apps can now ask for your permission to use your Glowfic account. A wiki can let you log in with Glowfic, or a tool can post or read through the API as you. We still never share your email address. You can see and revoke the apps you've approved from Settings → Authorized applications. For now only a few whitelisted users can register apps.
• Expando button: The rich text editor has a new button for collapsible "click to expand" sections. The editor help covers how to use them in both the rich text and HTML editors.

Bugfixes

• Posts and replies created by scripts sometimes couldn't be edited on the site ("Editor mode is not included in the list"); now they can
• Readers on Splice Internet in Australia were blocked with "Forbidden" because the network's identifiers used to be used by scrapers. Sorry!
• If you use "Remember Me", you're now recognized as logged in when reopening your browser, instead of being rate-limited like a logged-out visitor.

Development Work

• GET /api/v1/posts can now filter by author, continuity, character, template and status, and can list the posts you owe replies on
• We're on Ruby 4.0 and Rails 8.1 now. These are big upgrades, so let us know if anything looks broken!

Since the last release (already live)

• Reply pages are faster, because we store the cleaned-up reply HTML instead of rendering it on every view
• Long threads find their pages more efficiently.
• Logged-out traffic from known hosting providers and cloud networks is blocked, because nearly all of it is scrapers. If you see "Forbidden" while logged out, logging in fixes it, but please tell us.
• Load shedding now targets scraper-shaped traffic even more aggressively.
