Another quick update~
Added 2021-01-27 19:59:08 +0000 UTCMaybe these can be quarterly or something going forward...
Over the past couple months the Artstation, FurAffinity, and Furry Network indexes have been completed and are now fully searchable. The base Twitter data has also been added, and is searchable. We are working on a system to keep that up to date going forward, but it will take some time to perfect.
New index plans include Newgrounds and pixiv Sketch, but those are still a work in progress. Feel free to suggest others, but remember that we primarily focus on sites used by creators. Sourceless reposts just contaminate the data~
Alongside the indexing work, we are in the planning stages to get more servers, and expand our colocation space. By dramatically increasing the hardware resources available for the site, we should be able to improve resiliency and better handle the increasing load.
It's NOT going to be cheap, (far far from it) but with your incredible support we can make it happen! More details to come on that as we more fully flesh things out.
More immediately, we have a new site design in the works again. Last one fizzled out a few years ago, but this one seem promising so far. First up is the index page, which will be rolling out in the next week or two if all goes well. You can see a screencap of it attached below.
Let us know what you think, we'll probably post a link to a live testing version of it a few days before full deployment.

I like the new index page design. With the current design, I feel that hiding away the URL field behind Advanced Options is just adding an unnecessary extra step. And since the Adv. options lettering is rather small, I sometimes don't hit the toggle in the first try, which is a bit frustrating. Other than that, congrats on the progress made :D
