Releases: BowenYin/harkersg-v2
v2.0.1
v2.0.0
Some minor fixes and functionality were added in the stable version 2.0 release just in time for the start of the school year. There weren't any important bugs, just small accessibility issues. See below for the list of changes:
- Added feature to move study guides between folders
- Simply click on the options menu for any SG
- Fixed like/flags button not disabling right after clicking on it
- Fixed homepage scroll effects not working sometimes
- Fixed left user menu on mobile devices still showing old flag data
- Hidden horizontal scrollbar for folders with long titles (to prevent it from blocking text)
- HS courses are now disabled for middle schoolers using a slick one-line algorithm ;)
For some reason, no one has reported a single issue yet, so either HarkerSG is working perfectly or...?
(As of version 2.0, there are 1681 total lines of code for functionality. That's less than the total number of lines in Harker bell schedule!)
v2.0.0-beta
