In-Character Posts, Supporter Tiers, и переводы (and Translations)!

Hey everyone! It's been A Week.

There's a new feature for Patrons to play with, and that's in-character status updates on your activity feed, as well as forum replies!

There's a new standard "comment box" that I've added to the site, which has a "As:" link you can click to change who you are posting as. There is also a site-wide "Change Identity" button found under the user menu that you can set.

I was on the fence about the status updates, but I hinted at the idea and it seemed to collect interest, and only took a couple hours, so Big Win!

Supporter Tiers!

I've also added support tiers outside the Patreon lifecycle! The user above made me smile with a fun Evangelion gif on Twitter, so as promised they've got a month of support. Supporter accounts show up in Red, much like your Patreon accounts show up in Orange. Unlike Patreon, Support status is granted for a limited time, and expires. Patreon support may expire, depending on your tier, but I haven't coded that in, so for now that is forever.

Supporter accounts can have access to similar pre-release features of Patreon, and is a good option for people who can't make recurring monthly pledges, but want to show their appreciation with ko-fi, ideas & planning, or artwork! Just another way I am trying to say thank you to those that keep this project moving, and keep me motivated.

Translations?!

A ты говоришь по русски? ¿Hablas español? I... don't, but I'm learning! I've been trying my best to make sure all new work is translated, and will slowly be going back and adding translation to old code as it migrates to the new codebase.

Currently, the site is somewhat translated into Russian and Spanish, which you can access (I think?) using the translation links in the footer, or by visiting the links below to change language. If you speak another language and want to help out with translating, that would be awesome! Also, if you speak any of the languages I'm using, please send corrections. I'm using Google for this mostly, and well... Google Translate does some fun things.

English: https://refsheet.net/?locale=en
Russian: https://refsheet.net/?locale=ru
Spanish: https://refsheet.net/?locale=es

The website should auto-detect your browser's language, too, but I haven't tested that.

And, that's it! Stay tuned, check us out on Twitter for updates on new features and my stream-of-consciousness, don't forget to like and subscribe and tell a friend.

Oh, PS: Artist pages have begun. I haven't forgotten about Character V2 but since that's a supper important part of the site, I wanted to get a few more best-practice ideas sorted out with other components before continuing. Never stop learning.
