Fastest updates on Discord

February 18, 2026Fixed

Content URL stability fix

Removed automatic canonical title redirects on review, list, and writing pages to prevent redirect/reload loops in some browsers.

These pages now resolve by content ID, which preserves user-entered URL title segments more reliably while still keeping canonical metadata for SEO.

February 15, 2026Improved

Custom image optimization engine

We replaced the Firebase image resize extension with our own image resizing and optimization engine. This gives us tighter control over image processing and quality.

Image uploads now support files up to 20MB.

February 8, 2026New

Shelf background images

You can now upload a background image for your shelf. It renders as a full-bleed image on your shelf page with adjusted theming for legibility.

You can also now delete an existing banner or background image, not just replace it.

February 5, 2026New

Comment moderation

You can now delete comments on your own content (reviews, lists, threads, quotes, and writings). Comments with replies are soft-deleted to preserve conversation context.

Search has been completely re-done and expanded. Now, every single content type can be full-text searched.

  • Books
  • Reviews (title and content)
  • Lists (title and description)
  • Quotes
  • Users
  • Threads

Complete UI redesign

Redesigned the entire app by migrating to our custom UI library, which will match the look of the mobile app coming later this year.

Notification changes

Hi, welcome to the changelog. I'm going to be using this to document all the updates, improvements, and fixes to lit.salon. Stay tuned.

  • Notification changes: You'll now be notified when people you follow post new content (reviews, threads, lists, writings, quotes) and when your own content starts trending.
  • Removed notifications: Removed the rather useless notifications: 'user added X book from your shelf or list'
