Update : LORE 1.0 : Phœnix
Well, today’s the day. Tome and Lore are officially available to everyone, and a new era starts.
As you likely know, 1.0 is not the end of this project. It is a new beginning. We have much left to implement to reach our true vision. Regardless, we chose to call this Public Release “1.0” because, by all metrics, it is now a stable piece of Software that can already be used to create great things, as our community has proven time and time again during the β and δ stages. It is an acknowledgment of the end of an introduction, and by no means an epilogue.
Welcome to Lore 1.0 — Phœnix!
What is available in this release?
Get started
As usual, even-numbered updates bring quality of life. 1.0 is focused on a few quality of life improvements that were crowd favorites.
Crop, rotate, and zoom
You are now freed from the shackles of resolution. Click the appropriate button when hovering over a picture:
And then… explore freely:
The crop will always respect the ratio of your block, and you’ll be able to rotate, zoom and move around to achieve the perfect result with any image.
This was possibly the most requested quality of life improvement on our Discord, and for good reason. It’s finally here. Enjoy!
Tagging and Searching
The tagging system has been improved. It now looks like this:
The old version didn’t even have little icons, and it was very sad. Things are now better. But another thing is better… look closely.
I actually typed « @tlon », and I still found “Maller-on-Olton”.
Searching in Lore now works like this : typos don’t really matter anymore, and you’ll easily find things even if you mistype or don’t quite remember their name. This makes things a lot easier. This affects all searching, not just tagging. For those of you that already have pretty large Lories, this should help with navigating them.
Tag Runes
It is now possible to create Tag Runes:
These Runes are like Drop-Downs, but can take any Tag as an answer. Useful!
Enjoy!
