-
@glennmen added the algorithm to reward the 3 year anniversary badge automatically. Thanks, @glennmen!

@aligoren fixed a small CSS issue where the "EDIT POST" button was too close to the profile image. Thanks, @aligoren!

@vaidehijoshi fixed our Skylight badge so it points to the now public URL! More details in our post below about how we use Skylight. Thanks, Vaidehi!

@rhymes updated our Rubocop configuration to match our Ruby version and use safe autocorrect in our pre-commit hook. Thanks, @rhymes!

@lightalloy fixed a bug that has been affecting our background jobs and memory usage, and started the process of moving our jobs into Rails' ActiveJob. Thanks, Anna!
-
@seanmfox fixed an issue where the v1 editor would not preview properly if you belonged to an organization and had not set any colors for your organization. The solution was to set default colors for organizations. Thanks, @seanmfox!
New Issues and Discussions
- @kayis reported a bug where the editor switched versions and deleted text. Not a fun bug indeed. π Thanks, @kayis!
Editor switched versions and deleted text
#1733
Describe the bug
I wrote an article and pressed preview and suddenly had a new version of the editor, but the top half of my article was gone.
I had the impression this was some UI glitch and pressed save draft, but this just persisted the missing content.
It wasn't a long article and I just wrote it again, but it was kinda surprising behavior.
To Reproduce
I couldn't reproduce the issue, but this is what I did when it happened:
- Wrote a new article with the old editor
- Pressed did some previews and saves
- Pressed preview and got a new editor with missing content
Expected behavior
dev.to shouldn't switch editor mid-edit.

- @vorillaz requested a feature where we integrate Webmention. More details in the issue. Thanks, @vorillaz!
Add webmention integration.
#1736
Hello there, great work and I instantly fell in love with the community and your efforts. As a publisher myself to dev.to, I would love to have feedback on my content as it is cross-posted to dev.to.
It would be great if you could integrate webmention.io. It requires as little as adding a tag to the HTML head and authenticate your authority using your twitter account. Thanks in advance for your efforts :)
- @lightalloy reported a bug where nonexistent podcast episodes appear in the search results. Thanks, Anna!
Nonexistent podcast appears in the search results
#1741
Describe the bug The first podcast on the page returns 404.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to the homepage
- Type "books" in the search input and submit
- Select "Podcasts" in the left menu.
- Click the first result (Episode 064 β Favorite Programming Books), see "Not Found"
Screenshots
- @jess made an issue as a reminder to finalize the comment templates feature. Check out the latest post that uses it here:
- @peter reported a bug where the sidebar in mobile Android is able to scroll past the last section:
Key Links covering main feed on mobile
#1746
This is from an email into yo@ and the submitter has not provided additional info, so unfortunately we are light on details.
Describe the bug It appears that the Key Links area is covering the main feed.
To Reproduce Unclear. This appears to be an Android device. If anyone else is experiencing the issue, that will be really helpful.
Screenshots
- @sandordargo reported an issue where the number of views on his posts are not changing. Thanks, @sandordargo!
Number of views doesn't change
#1765
Hi,
I found something strange for my number of views.
I have the same number of views (user: @sandordargo, views: 156) for my last three posts.
The last one is strange, it hasn't changed for like two days, while the number of reactions are going up and it was featured on twitter as well. I don't think that the number of reactions can go up without the number of views also going up.
Thanks for having a look.
Cheers
- @qm3ster requested a feature where we don't convert SVGs with Cloudinary. There's a current discussion going (started by me) about how to sanitize an SVG. Thanks for the issue, @qm3ster! Leave any thoughts below:
Don't convert SVGs with Cloudinary
#1767
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I used a vector svg image as a cover_image of a post today.
It got "optimized" by Cloudinary, and served with automatic format (f_auto).
This resulted in not only making it a 6.2KB webp (and even larger png) but also making it blurry.
The original image was 781 bytes on the wire.
Describe the solution you'd like If possible, we'd serve sanitized svgs.
Describe alternatives you've considered I suspect if I convert it to png myself it might be less blurry, I may try that later. (Also with white background instead of transparent, since that causes a gray background on DEV.to)
- @jeoxs reported an issue where the whole page lags when the sidebar(s) is/are opened. Check out the issue for an ongoing discussion. Thanks, @jeoxs!
Website lags when I open the sidebar (each one)
#1771
I recently wrote an article about this particular issue asking people if they had the same problem: https://dev.to/jeoxs/is-it-just-my-phone-or-devto-is-heavy--1h9l
The site starts freezing when I open a sidebar. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini with Android 6.0.1 and latest Chrome and Android web view versions. At first I though it was my phone but others users have confirmed the issue on their devices, too.
Thank you in advance for your support :)
The last issue I'd like to include is an issue from the Weekly Digest Bot. For the most part, it's been a bit finicky and doesn't work all the time, but for three weeks it's been posting properly! It essentially creates an issue with a list of lots of everything that happened in our repo:

Hi.
I thinks this articule has an problem with the commits counter. In my case, fron mobile I see it counting fron 1000 to 2000 over again again...
I dont know if you have the same problem.
It's a looping gif that starts from 1000 to 2000. :)
