Hi, um I have a Chorus related question! I was wondering if you have any plans for updating the web page? I know you have a pretty busy time rn, and it says that website is under construction, so I really don't mean to rush you. I just couldn't find the info about it, and reading Chorus on web is my fav place to read it <3
Hi, originally I had no plans, but seeing as you're the second person to bring it up with me I feel like I SHOULD do something about it!
For some context, the website I currently use to host CHORUS (https://arsquare.art/manga/chorus/#p1) is a website that a friend built for me completely from scratch. I put in a lot of requests for what I thought a good web manga reader should have ("it needs a dropdown chapters menu!! you need to be able to scroll through it by pressing arrow keys!! if you click the image you should be able to see a bigger version of it!!") but the part that kept tripping us up is the update function.
Long story short I couldn't directly edit what went onto the website, everything is placed in a Google Drive that the website periodically checks (every Tuesday and Friday at Some Time), and because it was built from scratch there were a lot of peculiar issues that kinda popped up with it (old pages not updating even when the Drive file is changed, busted queue system that I can't pause or schedule, etc. etc.). My friend had just been working on it for fun, and when she got busy with her job I didn't really have the heart to bother her about it.
ANYWAYS all this to say that I've updated the Drive folder that all the images live, so whenever the website does the Tuesday-Friday weekly update all the pages should be up!!
I can certainly try to keep things up to date on the website to the best of my ability, but I suspect I might be an update behind every so often.
Thanks for getting me off my ass about this!!
