Bug Fixes

Hello, World! We've been working hard to fix some bugs on the website, and we're excited to share the details with you. Here's a summary of the bugs we've fixed and the improvements we've made to the site.

Modern Depature Board

We've updated the Departure Board to use a more modern design, with improved performance and usability. The new Departure Board is faster and more responsive, making it easier to find the information you need.

  • All elements should now update
  • Theming is now consistent-ish
  • The site should now be more accessible, with nearly all elements being rated "AA" or "AAA" on the WCAG scale. We're still working on improving this further, as we believe that everyone should be able to access our site.

General Bug Fixes

We've fixed a number of general bugs on the site, including:

  • Fixed a bug where the Departure Board would sometimes display incorrect information
  • Theming is now consistent site-wide, with a more "cohesive design", if you don't look too closely
  • Fixed a bug where the site would sometimes crash when loading the Departure Board on Chromium-based browsers
    • Firefox ftw
  • Removed some redundant code and improved the overall performance of the site
  • Moved to departure.town, and migrated away from kincode.net
    • A 301 redirect is in place, so you should be automatically redirected to the new site
  • SSL should work, I love nginx for working 100% of the time, without any issues whatsoever

Conclusion

We hope that these bug fixes improve your experience on the site and make it easier for you to find the information you need. If you encounter any issues or have any feedback, please feel free to get in touch with me at [email protected]! Happy travels!
