Sh’elah — Devlog 8 WE FINALLY SHIP TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over the past week or so, I had…

• Redesigned parts of the ai look again so that it doesn’t look like ai slop :)
• Gave the whole site links and web addresses whic h means any page or ai chat or settings u have and wanna give someone the link they can open to the same place as you (major issue fixed!).
• Added /signin and /profile as real pages that layer on top of whatever you’re looking at, so signing in from a legal or help page brings you right back where you started.
• Found and fixed why the AI sometimes gave no answer at all: the sign-in check between the site and the database was rejecting valid logins, which quietly broke saving your conversations and preferences. (YAY MORE BUGS FIXED)
• Sped up word/translation lookups. A word Sefaria didn’t recognize used to try several spellings against the dictionary and then several more against translation, one at a time — now it takes a second (maybe 2 if needs more sources).
• Fixed animation and fading issues, as well as issues when switching reading layout, switching commentary verses, and jumping to a cited passage (which, it turned out, didn’t actually highlight anything yet).
• Fixed the reader losing its place. Scrolling to load more text, or loading a previous chapter, could silently jump the page’s address to the wrong chapter. It now tracks what you’re actually reading, not just whichever paragraph happened to load first. (I’VE BEEN TRYNA FIX THAT ISSUE FOR MONTHS!)
• Cleaned up account and privacy details: a smaller profile menu, a delete-account warning that isn’t half-pink in dark mode, and your data export now actually includes your AI chats.
• Fixed a leftover database error that had been showing up in the logs from a migrations table that never existed — it’s created properly now, with the right access rules attached.

WE SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
