Redesigned Tutorial

Major redesigns for the tutorial and sign-up flow.

Room-Forum-Library Equivalence

Room => Forum

• Record a video / Type a question
• Invite the TAs
• They can answer it asynchronously, if you're still there it turns into a live session

Room => Library

• Save blackboards / record them
• Re-arrange the boards/videos within the room, and re-arrange the rooms i.e. rooms are video folders

Therefore this version deprecates the visual forum and the open library, which drastically simplifies everything without sacrificing any capabilities.

Reworked Open Library

Introduce folders to the library, as well as lots of fixes and improvements for the visual forum, global chat, etc.

Launch of Visual Forum

Click the email link, view the drawings, draw to reply. Also include many fixes and improvements.

Thanksgiving Update

This release is a major milestone because Explain is now truly place-centric i.e. everybody is always somewhere, and there is a default open area for each class. Moreover, the last critical bug "ghost participants" is addressed, and the UI and routing hierarchy has been significantly simplified. Lastly, music is now added (from the Maplestory OST) to create a warm, electrifying, yet relaxed atmosphere as everyone is about to face their finals.

Thanksgiving Stabilization

Fix critical bugs:

• [Shadow clone bug] the set doc operation resolved after the delete operation if the user switches rooms very quickly, causing multiple ghosts of the same user in such rooms
• [Ultra-long status] having a long status increases the width of the content of everything in the sidedrawer, causing the menu button and status icons to go OUT OF view and become unclickable for everyone
• [Rename hide drawer] drawer does not convey its directionality unlike "side-panel", but it's better to just call it fullscreen
• [Larger icons] Use larger icons for fullscreen and board menu
