What torch.EDC.wiki is, how it is built, and everything that has changed.

Version e6750d7
  • Fixed the sitemap and page pre-rendering only covering the first 1,000 flashlights - all 1,600+ are now included, so search engines can find every light
  • Improved the share/SEO description on flashlight pages: lights that only had their name as a description now get an auto-generated spec line instead (e.g. "600 lm, Cree XP-L HI, 18650, $20") so link previews and search snippets are actually useful
  • Made flashlight photos on the cards bigger - the image frame now sits closer to the card edges, and in dark mode its backing plate is a touch darker so photos sit more comfortably
  • Folded the Database updates feed into this Log page as a third "Database" tab, so the community change history lives in one tidy place instead of a separate page (the old /data-log address now redirects here)
  • The Brand and Category filters now show how many lights match each option as a faded count aligned to the right - and the numbers update as you narrow the other filters, so you can see at a glance where the catalog is deep
  • Added a Tumbled finish option for Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Titanium in the contribute form's material picker
  • Refreshed the top navigation bar into dark frosted glass - the page content softly blurs behind it as you scroll, with a clean edge and a soft drop shadow (no more glossy 3D look), tuned to stay light on performance. It's a touch slimmer, sits slightly wider than the page content (with comfortable margins on mobile), and the search box is more compact
  • Browse now remembers your filters: pick brands, ranges and so on, open a light, hit Back, and your filters - plus which filter groups you'd expanded and any "Show more" lists you'd opened - are still there instead of resetting. The Brand group is open by default, the Filters heading stands out more, and Clear all resets everything to default
  • Added a Terms of Use page (under Information, and linked in the footer) covering how to use the site, the community rules, how contributions are licensed (CC BY 4.0), product-image ownership, and notice-and-takedown. Signing up, contributing or sending a report now shows a short line noting you agree to the Terms - no extra checkbox to tick
  • Fixed infinite scroll on Browse not loading more results after the page refreshed its list (e.g. when your remembered filters reloaded)
  • Behind the scenes: tightened the project's own engineering rules so it can grow long-term and stay easy for the AI that builds it to maintain (small files split into more files rather than padded, a consistent English house style), and refactored the contribute form along those lines with no change to how it works
