Guides, Rich Text, and a Month of Fixes

Most of the last three weeks went into one thing: turning notes into guides. Along the way a lot of small, long-standing bugs got fixed, two browse pages were rebuilt, and the same rich-text editor reached builds and walkthroughs. Here's the rundown, with the guides feature at the end.

Bug fixes

• Dropdowns couldn't be used from the keyboard. Arrowing to an option and pressing Enter did nothing; only a click would commit. Every dropdown in the app now takes Enter and Space.
• Clicking outside a dialog didn't close it. It does now, for every modal and confirmation prompt.
• Buttons inside table rows ate your keypress. Pressing Enter on a row's star, edit, or delete button was swallowed by the row itself. Character management and list stars were the visible cases.
• Item icons vanished for good. If a gear slot or table cell ever failed to load one icon, it stayed blank even after you picked a different item.
• Hovering over any text body tinted every link in it at once, instead of just the one under the cursor.
• "Time at level" could run backwards. The leveling page's in-progress combat timer was recomputed from your zone history, which gets trimmed on a long session. It's now a running counter that only ever goes up and resets on level-up.
• The passive tree editor stuttered while saving. Every save forced the whole tree to redraw, even when nothing on it changed.
• Build pages could error out under load. A slow league lookup took down the new-build and edit pages with it. They now degrade gracefully.
• A bad build link showed an error page instead of a normal not-found page.
• The character overview loads faster. It made several round-trips to the database for one page; it makes one now.
• Plus: the economy ticker no longer fetches prices twice on load, a count chart no longer shows half-steps on its axis, line-chart labels stay inside the chart, the code-block copy button fails quietly if the clipboard is blocked, and revoking a just-created helper API key clears it from the reveal panel.

What's new

• Guides. Notes are now guides: a rich-text editor, a public hub, tags, stars, and inline references to builds and items. Details below.
• Crafting recipes and walkthroughs got the builds treatment. Both browse pages now lead with Featured, Trending, Recent, and Recently Viewed cards, a Top Contributors list, and popular tags, each with its own tag pages.
• Rich text everywhere. Build overviews and walkthrough steps use the same editor as guides, so headings, lists, images, and @ references work in all three.
• Walkthrough steps advance on a condition, not just a zone. A step now has a location (where it takes place) and a separate rule for what completes it: entering a zone, reaching a level, or marking it done by hand.
• Reporting. Every public guide has a Report button that goes to a moderation queue.
• The blog has fifteen posts, an RSS feed, and live cards. Feature guides for every part of the app, deep-dives on running the helper on Windows and Linux, and an RSS feed. Posts can embed a live build or recipe card instead of a screenshot.
• Send feedback from the chat bubble in the status bar, signed in or not.
