Changelog
April 1, 2026
Added a "random" button that directs you to a random post in the archive
April 1, 2026
Created a Tumblr integration, posting a highlight image every few hours: tumblr.gsbooru.org
April 2, 2026
Added support for sort:score and sort:score_asc. Review the Search Guide on the wiki for all the currently supported ways to search
April 2, 2026
Set up an uptime tracker, so you can see my not-so-great uptime. this should work even if the server goes down, unless cloudfare itself is down. View it here - uptime.gsbooru.org
April 5, 2026
Tag suggestions should now show up on the main post page, I'm too sleepy to integrate it on the other pages but I'll get to it soon.
April 9, 2026
Okay tag suggestions are on all relevant pages now (homepage, post search, and view post). Let me know if anything broke
April 9, 2026
You can now search users' favorites with fav:{username} (example). You can also click on the number of favorites on their user profile page
April 20, 2026
Tag suggestions are now available in non-search areas such as upload and edit, to make filling in tags much easier.
April 22, 2026
Made a bluesky integration, kinda like the tumblr one: bluesky.gsbooru.org
April 26, 2026
tags properly display spaces instead of underscores in the tag list of post view/search pages.
April 28, 2026
fixed up some broken formatting on post history pages, especially when the source is 5000 characters long
April 29, 2026
User profiles now showcase recent uploads and favorites by the user
May 1, 2026
Made a tags page to search for tags, gonna put tag aliases and implications soon
May 2, 2026
aliases finished (check /tag_aliases or go to "tags" and click "tag_aliases" from the banner), but it isn't actually implemented into the related functions yet (like searching, uploading, editing). I'll add searching for tag implications next, then actually implement them into the db and maybe get a worker to fix up old posts with new aliases/implications
May 3, 2026
finished the tag implications db and search (under "Tags"), now I just have to make them actually work.
May 7, 2026
Invisible to normal users, but I'm working on a bunch of SEO stuff behind the scenes, should help a bit. It shouldn't break anything but who knows
May 8, 2026
Okay now tag_aliases work on searches (the tag suggestions aren't reflecting it yet because I didn't do that part yet). Try searching for "high_resolution" and it should get all "highres" posts. Let me know if that broke anything though
May 8, 2026
Also made a pinterest integration cause why not, this may be the last social media outlet. pinterest.gsbooru.org
May 9, 2026
ok now tag suggestions *should* reflect the aliases properly
May 15, 2026
Tag aliases and implications should now be enforced for uploads and edits, let me know if anything broke in the bug report thread or via DM
May 15, 2026
hmm one thing I'm missing is the logic for tag deprecation, going to work on that soon
May 18, 2026
Pagination now supports keypresses:
- Post Search - "a" goes to the previous page, "d" goes to the next page
- Post View - "a" goes to the previous (more recent) image, "d" goes to the next (older) image
May 22, 2026
Added sort:popular, which orders by the sum of score and favorites, and a button for it in the header
May 23, 2026
We now have support for a fully Safe-For-Work subdomain of the site, safe.gsbooru.org!
I tried to make sure all routes are handled, but if you see anything rated sensitive on the safe site let me know asap
May 24, 2026
Api endpoint should be good now, the endpoint is /api/posts. Read up on the docs to figure out how to use it, and try to use it responsibly.
As always, let me know if something broke.
May 26, 2026
Updated preview db to serve webp files only. Should make loading faster on post searches.
May 29, 2026
Bunch of backend changes to tags, to track tag edit history etc.
Making a tag wiki, tag pages are now visible via Tags ("edit") but the editing endpoint isn't done yet. (should be done in a few days)
May 30, 2026
Finished the tag wiki base, just waiting on some data to backfill so that there's some sorta foundation
Tags on post search and view now have a "?" directing to the wiki page
June 1, 2026
Finished the backfill, a foundation has been made. Let me know if something is odd with formatting, or went wrong in general
Since it's community editable, anyone can fix up and update things as needed too
June 2, 2026
Some rare urls weren't working for some images (caching issue) and some paths for tags. I refactored the parsing and it should be working now.
(Unless I broke something else elsewhere but only time will tell)
June 6, 2026
Added support for searching for id, see the updated Search Guidelines for more info.
June 8, 2026
Added an option to revert a post to a previous point, found in the "Post History" page of a post
June 12, 2026
Added a backwards importer, so I'm getting posts from the past in addition to the ones uploaded now
The rate at which content is added should be noticeably higher
June 13, 2026
Added AVIF image file type support. I'm not sure if I want to add videos yet, that could be a storage/bandwidth killer if used too often
June 16, 2026
Made a footer for the site, with useful links/socials. Hopefully no formatting broke but we'll see.
June 21, 2026
Basic Pools section is now available. It's barebones for now, and only supports:
Creating Pools | Deleting Pools | Adding to Pools (from post_view)
I'll get some better QoL down when I can, and more features, especially removing from pools and reordering
June 22, 2026
Okay posts can now be removed from pools. Go to the pool_view page and there should be an option to edit if you have edit permissions.
June 23, 2026
Made some database optimizations, so tag suggestions and some searches (particularly wildcard * searches) should run smoother
June 26, 2026
Pools are now searchable (same filters as tag search + supports wildcard searches)
June 29, 2026
Made tag suggestions a bit faster and it should cache now as well (changed from post to get requests).
Changed login schema to allow emails, so you can login with either username or email now.
June 30, 2026
Some more QoL:
- Tag search now defaults to *tag* unless a wildcard was intentionally used by the user
- Pools renamed to be clearer: [personal, private, public] -> [private, curated, public].
- Post Edit textarea sorts tags alphabetically and puts each category on a new line (easier editing)
- Unread DM notification is now visible on the account homepage (was previously only visible when viewing the inbox)
July 6, 2026
User profiles have a clickable "tag edits" statistic which shows their post uploads and edits to the site.
July 10, 2026
User profile "tag edits" search was really slow, it should run a lot faster now.
July 11, 2026
Added view modes to post search, and finished the "Heart" option (Only viewable if logged in).
You can now favorite images right from the post search menu, without having to click on each thumbnail.
July 12, 2026
Added upvote and downvote functionality in the "Vote" view mode (renamed from the "Heart" view mode)
Eased up on rate limiting for voting and favoriting to account for this change.
July 16, 2026
"Bucket" View is now available to users (disclaimer: this is purely client-side and will be wiped if cache is cleared!)
This lets you add up to 100 posts from any search query, and dump them to pools in bulk
Should be a big convenience plus compared to adding them individually
I have plans to add more to this, maybe a "download as .zip" option? Who knows...
