Guest Pawprints
16h ago
Back when Pawprinting was first created, it was inspired heavily by strawpage - the anonymous doodles people would receive, with little needed for the person drawing other than a creative spirit. Later into development, I scrapped the idea of people drawing without having an account due to the worry of spam or extreme/questionable content. With how pawprinting has grown, I'm ready to bring it back. In your user settings under visibility, you will find a new setting for allowing guest pawprints. This will let anyone, account or no, to draw on your profile - link people directly to your draw page from anywhere on the internet and they'll be able to draw for you anonymously or with a guest name they can set. They will not have drafts saved or loaded, but that's a trade-off for not having an account. Any pawprints sent this way will be unconfirmed, and you will have to confirm them for it to show up publicly. As this is opt-in and people can't just spam your profile, I feel like it's a lot safer to bring this feature back now. Another change I did is on confirming pawprints - instead of just a big 'accept' and 'reject' button, it now goes to the settings of the pawprint giving you the opportunity to change tags, make sure the rating is okay, or even hide it if you want.
Settings & Bug Fixes

Changed up the user settings page a bit, it's now divided into tabs with some new settings specifically on drawing - you can now selectively disable drafts, layers, layer filters, and set defaults for new pawprints if you'd like all of them to be friends only for example. You can also easily enable/disable all notification settings. I fixed an issue with profile journals not loading, and re-added the ability to pan with the space bar.
Pagination & Various Fixes
2d ago
- Added proper pagination on pawprints, scrapbook, journals, etc, instead of just the 'load more' button. - Drawing code has been refactored to be easier to fix/work with, which caused some of the issues today. - Fixed some pawprints from private profiles showing up where they shouldn't. - Stopped notifications being deleted automatically, and they now properly mark as read instead.
Who up pawp'ing their rints?

There's now a brush cursor preview when drawing just like in other drawing programs, to make it easier to see where you're going to draw. This should help a lot with things like pixel art. If it seems 'slow', it's because it's forced to the pixel grid, so there isn't that much I can do about it without it being inaccurate. Let me know if you don't like this and I could maybe add an option to remove it. Other Changes/Fixes: - We pink now! New logo/favicon/style. The brown was really boring and corporate so I want to try to spice things up a bit. - Layers can now be renamed, and don't get automatically renamed when moved around which caused some confusion. - Fixed donation tabs not showing up if you didn't have any donations, and also showing donations you've made instead of donations you've received. - Fixed eraser tool not having an initial dot, so you had to drag the mouse/pen in order to erase anything. - Fixed some older events not having set the winners correctly.
