For the past few weeks I've been refactoring a boatload of Mainchan's codebase in order to accommodate localization. Thousands of changes across hundreds of files.

This isn't really going change much but I sincerely doubt I changed up so much code without creating some bugs that I didn't think to verify.

I realize that a lot of Mainchan users are from /g/ and are probably programmers, so some of you might be thinking "Cicero, with such a large project like Mainchan, surely you've set up automated unit testing over time to catch bugs like this, right?"........

I'll find an alternative for sure if imgur disables their API due to this change.

>compress any uploaded file

I did before switching to imgur. They do that themselves, probably better than with the package I was using to do it too.

I don't think you could even if you wanted to. In an attempt to secure the source code from outside theft, I've obfuscated it by having all function names and variable as emojis.
