The list of changes this week is short but it is more substantial than ever. I have completely rebuilt the Settings pages from the ground up with the goal of unifying the interfaces to behave more like the Reptile Dashboard. While doing so, I also implemented a request I received on Reddit to implement the ability to hide Event Categories so that keepers who don't plan on breeding don't have to look at "Breeding Cycle" and "Mating". This feature works for both the default and custom categories so you can even cycle categories by season if you wish.

I have also been working almost non-stop behind the scenes with the servers ensuring that SnekLog remains fast, reliable, and secure. It's pretty tiring but as a full-time IT student, I have to admit that I enjoy it very much.
