Twokinds Website Upgrade Status
Hey all,
If you haven't already noticed, we're in the process of upgrading the Twokinds website! It's a significant update on the backend, so unfortunately it requires us to have some downtime.
I'll be using this thread to keep the status updated and answer any questions you have.
Upgrade timeline:
[09:58 EST] Website downtime commenced
[10:18 EST] Encountered an issue with the server configuration; awaiting server administrator response. ETA unknown.
[11:00 EST] Still awaiting administrator response.
[11:29 EST] Received response from administrator. Configuration issue resolved. Proceeding with upgrade.
[12:28 EST] Making final preparations to bring the site online.
[13:03 EST] Website activated!
The website is going to go back online in a few minutes. In the meantime, I'll introduce the updates.
1 ) The archive has been consolidated into the main page layout!
2 ) A dark theme has been introduced! Click "Lights Off" on the sidebar to activate it!
3 ) You can now navigate between comics using arrow keys or the J and K keys.
4 ) The archive page will now remember which chapters you had expanded for a few minutes, so you no longer have to re-expand them when you go back and forth.
5 ) Minor style updates
6 ) The website is now slightly more mobile-friendly. On small screens, navigation buttons will expand to be easier to tap. An issue with the page not filling the screen has been corrected.
7 ) A new URL scheme. Don't worry, your links won't break! Old links will be redirected to the equivalent new URL automatically.
8 ) All old comic pages have been replaced with high-res, updated versions!
Here's a sneak preview (with the dark theme enabled):

It's mostly a backend upgrade. The rest is a surprise!

Happy to see site up already. that's cool that now we can read comics without leaving main page.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

And the title texts are in natively! That's one project I can retire

Re: Twokinds Website Upgrade Status
Found a bug while using the archive for chapter 18:
The image at http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/886/ is omitted from the preview list, so the next page's thumbnail links to it instead causing all of those after it to link to the page before the one it should.
- thumbnail 885 links to page 885
- thumbnail 886 links to 12 years anniversary special
- thumbnail 887 links to page 886
and so on...
