Beta board is going to me messed up for a bit as I deploy thread search.

Beta board is okay again. Thread search has been implemented and the query used for reading threads has been fixed and optimized to reduce database reads.
Next up is some work on user profile settings.

Another update to the beta board. User descriptions now support the same formatting as posts. The setting for the number of posts to display per page has been moved to the 'View' tab of user profile settings. On the same tab you can now select the time zone used to display post times (one of the few brand new features).
Next up is implementing the UI for displaying and navigating thread folders. That's the last issue for the version 0.2 milestone :)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Do we need to be concerned about GDPR compliance?

I doubt it, we don't really collect 'customer data'.
Still working on that last issue for the 0.2 milestone. Just haven't had a lot of time.
0.2 milestone is that the board is pretty much functional until threads get too full (though with the new board that more of a arbitrary thing as there is no technical limit on thread size)
0.3 milestone adds some admin stuff to fill in that thread size gap
0.4 is all about filling out the rest of the site which is largely static content
0.5 plugs a couple of missing features that exist on the current board (jump to date, threadsuck, the left sidebar, tweaking the 'read new' button on mobile)
1.0 is just 0.5 + bug fixes
After 0.2 beta we could change over the the new board at any time if we don't migrate. If we want to migrate that will require some more development. I would argue that it would be better to archive all the existing threads and not migrate for reasons that I don't have time to fully detail at the moment.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Will the new board still be accessible by laptop/desktop? Or only mobile?

The design is responsive so it will adjust to the size of the browser. It will look very much like the current site on a desktop or laptop, but will adjust itself as the screen shrinks to tablet and then phone size.

Unless there is some egregious difference between the database schema, I can handle the migration.
(A bunch of the really old threads should just be archived anyway, though).
