We’ve pushed some new tabs (Discussions and Questions) on the main page to beta users, kicking off a period of experimenting with the way that we all can view and filter information on the site.
PM me, Ben, or Tim if you’d like to be included in the beta group.
Special thanks to johnpowell for the kick […]
We finished processing everyone’s avatar images. We’re still tidying up some of the default avatars, but we’re really excited about actually seeing the jellies in our collective.
We may or may not have spent the afternoon looking at profile pages.
Enjoy!
Sometimes you see a question on Fluther and you’re tempted to write, “I have no idea how batteries work.” But you resist that temptation and wait for someone smarter to answer (we appreciate that).
Other times you see a question and think, “I have no clue how to wax a piano, but my friend Rupert is […]
We’re excited to announce the new, live community feed — we’ve been playing around with it for the last week and it’s proven to be really exciting to show us where the action is happening on the site — from celebrating great questions to showing us who has entered the fabled 10K mansion, we hope […]

We’ve added a few small features in the last week or so.

We also have added the first steps in integrating your Facebook account with your Fluther […]
We’ve been testing this feature for a while, and we’re pleased to unveil the new ask process to everyone on the site.
Overall, we’ve seen fewer first questions pushed to moderation and the ask process run more smoothly for users.
The new data we’re collecting will give us a lot of room to play with how we […]

We’ve updated YUI, so IE8 should work now without having to switch into compatibility mode.
We’ve also fixed a long nagging bug where the @link dropdown menu wouldn’t work at the start of your second paragraph.
Bigger features should be dropping later this week.

As part of a little long-term project, we’ve wrapped up porting our custom Textile engine from python to javascript.
