WOW WOW WOW I'm so stoked right now
These last couple of weeks I've been coding like crazy. I've been routinely dreaming in code. We blasted past 500 features rebuilt sometime last week but I was so deep in the thick of it I didn't even notice until later, so I'm not completely sure what day that was.
We've got a really solid start on the new profile builder. I've rebuilt all of the existing widgets for characters aside from the gallery widget (that one is still sitting on the workbench with its wires out as it waits for some other image handling code to all get done alongside it.)
I've added two and a half new widgets for characters:
And of course, all of the existing widgets have been getting little improvements as they are re-created. For example, flexible stat widgets, always /never widgets, and basic info widgets are now all re-orderable by dragging AND by tapping up/down arrows, which means they should be fully accessible even to people on mobile and to those with visual disabilities. Yeah I know, another on the list of "about time" innovations
Here's another awesome thing: Edits you make in basic info widgets, text widgets, random widgets and flexible stats widgets will now be saved for several weeks, so if you accidentally delete an important paragraph of text, you can open that widget up, go into its history, and choose any saved version to revert to.
The next major mountain to climb is adding native support for rows and columns. Wish me luck!
When I've got a solid start on that piece, I'll be releasing another preview video.

I've added two and a half new widgets for characters:
- A tagline widget, that consistently displays the character's tagline from your settings.
- A RP ads widget, that displays any LFRP ads you have posted with that particular character.
- And a "random text" widget -- this is the "half" a widget I mentioned above, because as you know, groups have already had these for years. I just invited the random widget to also join the Characters party.
