cobalt is finally moving to its own domain! many of you have been anticipating this, and many kept forgetting the link due to how cryptic it was. | |
well, worry no more - <span class="text-backdrop">cobalt.tools</span> is here. | |
if you haven't yet, open [co.wukko.me](https://co.wukko.me) to transfer your settings here! no additional action from you is required. just open the old link and cobalt will do everything for you :) | |
make sure to <span class="text-backdrop">update your bookmarks</span> and reinstall the web app! | |
here's what domain change means: | |
- still no ads, same owner, same features, same reliability. just a way more rememberable link (it's literally two words). | |
- cobalt.tools makes it clear that cobalt is a tool and that it's "cobalt", not "wukko". | |
- i can host various versions of cobalt on subdomains without links looking awkward. | |
- i can host cobalt-related websites without polluting my personal domain's dns (such as crowdin). | |
- i stand by same privacy policies (and in fact am using the same exact server as before). | |
the domain change is required for the future of cobalt. | |
here's what's coming soon: | |
- support for many top-requested sites, such as (but not limited to) twitch and niconico. | |
- education version of cobalt, as often requested by students and educators. | |
- major localization system upgrade, allowing for simpler community contributions. | |
- region-specific versions with 100% translations and tweaks. | |
- native clients for desktop and mobile (not sure about this one, i'm no superman). | |
- ...and more! | |
now, here's what's new in 7.4: | |
- tabs in popups now scroll to top on tab bar tap. | |
- padding across web app was tuned. | |
- (obviously) a migration agent. soon will be used for importing and exporting settings. | |
- some minor clean ups in codebase. | |
if you want to help cobalt achieve goals listed above, consider donating! donations are the only way i can keep cobalt ad-less, powerful, (basically) limitless, and also 100% free. | |
in fact, donations have helped me grow cobalt more than i've ever anticipated. just imagine how much better it will be in a year. | |
go to donations down below to find ways to donate! | |
thank you for reading through all of this. i hope you enjoy this update and have a great day :D |
