Recent updates

Every entry on /updates now has its own address

  • Before, every single update on that page pointed to the same URL. All of them. So if I wanted to tell someone "check out the thing about anchor links," the honest instructions were "go to /updates and scroll until you find it." Not a link, a scavenger hunt.
  • Now each entry gets its own anchor, so you can copy a link to one specific update and it'll jump straight there when opened. Also had to handle the boring edge cases nobody thinks about until they break: what happens when two update titles are similar enough to generate the same anchor. They get numbered instead of colliding.
  • Small fix, but it means I can actually point at a thing instead of describing where it roughly lives.
