Latest updates

Bunch of things happened the last two weeks.

The most visible is the change made to how you set fit of a bra, now you have the option to make a personal assessment of how you think the bra fits instead of just having to take what Bratabase declares for your fit. This allows you to also set a short comment of your fit.

* Some small visual changes, on the fit requests and other pages.
* Filter fit requests by brand! I don't know why I didn't do that before.
* You'll see more prominent buttons to add bras to favorites and other lists. I will be doing more work to improve those.
* Now you can mention your lists of bras and pages from knowledge section, more information on that "more" link on text boxes.
* Changed many icons to monochromatic icons, they are in a new format that should be faster to load (Thanks to Fontawesome)
* Bunch of bug fixes
* If you ever noticed the top menu count take a few seconds to show up, it won't anymore (although it may update still in a couple of seconds :P but at least won't be missing)
* Performance improvements, a server upgrade a couple of weeks ago was big part of it and general improvements on some parts of the code.
* Slowly making more changes to better accommodate small screens, page by page.
* As always, lots of new models added and data fixed.

As always, big thanks to Nesoa with her help keeping the data clean and up to date! As well as guiding me to find bugs and come up with clever solutions :)

  • Is there a way to make it so that bras that fit under old measurements but are now marked as 'didn't fit' for more recent measurements stop showing up under 'these bras also fit her'?

  • No, there isn't a way, but there is a reason.

    Hiding the fact that a bra fitted you, would make the information unavailable for other user who is in search for how that bra fits. The passing of time is irrelevant on this matter really. We treat each set of measurements as a separate entry no matter when they happened.

    By showing that a bra fitted you, it allows other user to explore what else worked for you when that bra did. If we didn't show it then someone else would not know that it once worked for you. As a visitor it doesn't matter to me if the bra fitted you last year or last week, the fit information is useful (ignoring the fact that answering questions may be more difficult for old bras).

    This brings complicated situations, if on your first measurements bras A and B fitted, and on your second measurements bras B and C fitted. It is hard to tell if A and C will fit together.

    The root of the problem was my decision that I wanted to make the individual measurements you've taken private. So others can't know if you've measured once or 10 times... Looking back, I don't see how much privacy is gained there. I think I'll change this soon.

    The idea of showing if a bra fits, is from another user to answer the question "If A fits, will B fit?"

    So, there is a reason (that I'm having trouble to articulate).
