I've been making a lot of backend changes to the app recently with the main goal of improving the pattern sharing. Here are the changes!
1. Discord!
I've set up a Discord server for any feedback, suggestions and bugs! Feel free to join :)

2. Link Preview Support for Project Sharing
You can now paste the URL to any site that supports link previews, e.g:
BlueSky:
Discord:
Instagram:
3. Miscellaneous Tools Page
There's now a tools page, for miscellaneous utilities that help with creating a new project! Currently supported is canvas sizes and number of skeins calculator, but if you have any suggestions let me know!
4. Active Project
The latest project to be stitches will now display at the top of the dashboard, for anyone who likes to start many projects!
Posted a more in-depth explanation for v1.5 on Discord, but will add as a comment here for those who don't like using it:
In order to get the project sharing to work with link previews, I've had to switch to a framework that supports server-side rendering (SSR). The previous version used fully client-side Vue which meant when sharing URLs the link preview would not pick up the project-specific information (such as % completed). v1.5 and onwards will now use Nuxt which is still Vue but is now SSR. This has meant a from-the-ground-up remake of the app, so there may be slight differences, but features should still exist and hopefully (if anything) slightly improved.
At the same time, there were some build tool updates around the time I decided to switch to Nuxt, namely Tailwind v4. This changed some syntax for styling the app but everything should look the same.
As always, all suggestions are welcome! ❤
