Just a small update about a change on the blog here. I have decided to drop the use of Disqus as a commenting system and instead replaced the comments area with a few simple links to my twitter and to the BookStack issues page.

»Over 300 Stars
It’s a bit delayed but BookStack now has over 300 stars on GitHub. Hooray! 🎆 Still fairly minor in the grand scheme of things but I hope this continues to grow in the future.
»A new bugfix has been released to patch up a few issues found in v0.12.
It was found that I had accidentally set two shortcuts on the same keys, The draft quick save and inline-code format were both mapped to ctrl+s. This has now been updated so that inline code is mapped to Ctrl+Shift+E. Also, as part of this bugfix the WYSIWYG editor shortcuts on mac will use the command key instead of the ctrl key to better fit with other Mac shortcuts.
