"content": "Welcome back!\n\nAfter a few weeks of Christmas break, we're back to xLog Weekly. In fact, our development work has never stopped.\n\n## Email Login\n\nCrossbell offers an [email login](https://crossbell-blog.xlog.app/newbie-villa) option for Web2 users who do not have a wallet, and xLog has now added this feature. If you don't have a wallet, click connect now to experience this feature!\n\nHowever, please note that there are some restrictions on advanced features for email users, so try to use your wallet if possible.\n\n\n\nCode changes: [5d5bb98fa300de4ec6da4d27afbeadb7ccdee078](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/compare/140a087fc09fa4ff73694c032eb9fe973c1aaaf3..5d5bb98fa300de4ec6da4d27afbeadb7ccdee078)\n\n## PWA\n\nWe've supported PWA! Now xLog has faster reloading speeds - I can no longer see xLog's loading process - and you can even use preloaded sites offline!\n\nYou can also install the site as an app on your computer if you prefer.\n\n\n\nCode changes: [ec0d836c599dcd270a7168b8b61a249d9335c09b](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/compare/74fd41a88be5ee7ecfa35c6d72d0fc9f8d7e46da..ec0d836c599dcd270a7168b8b61a249d9335c09b)\n\n## Posting Success Confetti\n\nWe found that some users couldn't find the post address after posting, so we've optimised the posting process. Now after posting, the page no longer redirects to the list and you can see beautiful celebratory confetti and some hints.\n\n\n\nCode changes: [9fb7619051fb3f58fa84c0e960fd8eb3b71d0de0](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/compare/5d5bb98fa300de4ec6da4d27afbeadb7ccdee078..9fb7619051fb3f58fa84c0e960fd8eb3b71d0de0)\n\n## New Notifications\n\nWe have switched to the same notification module as crossbell.io, which supports more types of notifications, including adding and removing operators, following, unfollowing, mint posts, like posts, mentions, etc.\n\n\n\nCode changes: [2b9db31546931dd3444e429dd2758475da234f95](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/compare/9fb7619051fb3f58fa84c0e960fd8eb3b71d0de0..2b9db31546931dd3444e429dd2758475da234f95)\n\n## Site Stat\n\nWe have added site statistics to the dashboard for webmasters to understand the status of their sites. This is only a simple version and we will continue to add more data and features.\n\n\n\nCode changes: [5d2d68671dd605c9344ad1230c2113c51d83c01f](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/commit/5d2d68671dd605c9344ad1230c2113c51d83c01f)\n\n## Audio Support\n\nDue to user feedback, we have supported audio and you can now use the HTML audio tag in your posts, just like this\n\n```html\n<audio src=\"https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/TearsOfSteel.mp4\" controls></audio>\n```\n\n<audio src=\"https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/TearsOfSteel.mp4\" controls></audio>\n\nBut for now it simply uses the player that comes with the browser, we will follow up with more optimizations for video and audio content.\n\nCode changes: [e3d424c1b713f4def429b53c0802913c40afcc81](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/commit/e3d424c1b713f4def429b53c0802913c40afcc81)\n\n## Math Support\n\nOur team's AI doctor has many posts with mathematical formulas, so we supported math for him and now you can use mathematical formulas in your posts instead of troublesome screenshots, just like this\n\n```\n$$\\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \\right)^2 \\leq \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \\right) \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \\right)$$\n```\n\n$$\\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \\right)^2 \\leq \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \\right) \\left( \\sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \\right)$$\n\nCode changes: [0dd2c1a3051c47e5aa8acec62d6989c07a7a573e](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/commit/0dd2c1a3051c47e5aa8acec62d6989c07a7a573e)\n\n## Better Automatic Excerpt\n\nWe used the `rehype-infer-description-meta` library instead of the previous excerpt generator we wrote ourselves, and we have to say, it works a lot better\n\nCode changes: [b72fbb501fdeda77222228ada30cd0b84b4adcf1](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/commit/b72fbb501fdeda77222228ada30cd0b84b4adcf1)\n\n## Foldable Sidebar\n\nAn interesting little feature, if you don't like that wide sidebar, you can click the little button above to shrink it, just like this\n\n\n\nCode changes: [ed335b13a5b5fef1bc53dbc69b72bd1dba654cea](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/commit/ed335b13a5b5fef1bc53dbc69b72bd1dba654cea)\n\n## Mint as an NFT\n\nThere is always a like button and a mint button at the bottom of each post, but the UI of the mint button may be misunderstood by some users, in fact it allows you to mint the post as your NFT to permanently bookmark it in your account. So we've added a little hint to it.\n\n\n\nCode changes: [d1374810a3563e542b336004279d1aeb75995766](https://github.com/Crossbell-Box/xLog/commit/d1374810a3563e542b336004279d1aeb75995766)\n\n## Writing Competition #2 - 2022 Wrapped\n\nWe have successfully held our second writing competition in Discord, let's congratulate the winners!\n\nš„ 1st place: https://somehacker.xlog.app/2022%3A-A-Belated-Year-in-Review\n\nš„ 2nd: https://dummm.xlog.app/WEB3%2525252525252525252C-MULTIVERSE-OF-MADNESS-AND-NEW-POSSIBILITIES!\n\nš„ 3rd: https://descardi.xlog.app/My-Family-Life-With-Crypto-In-2022\n\nšļø 4th: https://anxiete.xlog.app/How-was-2022-for-me%3F\n\nJoin [Discord](https://discord.gg/9XscSqJEq4) now and don't miss out on any more bonuses!\n\n\n\nJust like always, if you have any suggestions or expectations, or just want to have a casual conversation, feel free to join our community or leave a comment below.
