Description

Telescope is an open-source, real-time social news site built with Meteor. Use this to run a private board where your friends can post and vote on links.

Changelog

v0.26.2

  • Made component names more consistent; Collection names (“Posts”, “Comments”, etc.) are always plural in component names.
  • Routes now live in their own package (nova:base-routes).
  • The search now searches in the excerpt field, not body, because body is not published to the client (and searches would give different results on client and server).
  • Removed option to manually set a post's author.
  • The Embedly thumbnail feature now includes a "clear thumbnail" link to remove it and an option to enter a URL manually.
  • There is now an autofill tags component you can optionally include and use with meteor add nova:forms-tags (see Embedly package custom fields for how to use custom components in forms).
  • You can now see a post's ID and stats in the post edit form if you're an admin.
  • Fixed bug (I hope?) where daily view would become messed up when client and server were on different timezones.
  • Now showing a user's posts on their profile page.
  • Added soft delete for comments (thanks @justintime4tea!).
