Cover art / visual updates Site News chapter 5 by swai

Art updates:

  • Stories now have default cover arts generated automatically. 
    • If a story didn't already have a cover art, it has one now.
    • This should help distinguish between stories in lists and search results. Previously, they would have had the same blank cover art. Now they're different.
  • The default user avatar generation was also updated.
    • Existing users are not affected.
    • I can regenerate your avatar if you want, just ask!

 

Layout updates:

  • Moved the header nav links a little. "Write" doesn't really belong to the "stories/categories/etc" section. On mobile it's now accessible from your avatar.
  • Some slight streamlining on the story and chapter pages
  • Changed the tag/category pages for better flow
  • We have a little tagline now

When you say "generate," do you mean AI, and could someone keep their story cover blank?

It's not AI, it's a random shape algorithm. Using AI for this would be both bad and a needless cost, lol.

I'm going to add a way to remove it, but in general I'd recommend replacing it with unique cover art instead of removing it

Ah, okay then, I think I misunderstood you originally. I am very anti-AI, so I wanted to make sure, but thats good to hear.
