Same same, but different

We were dealing with 13-year-old JavaScript libraries - everything was creaking. Website relaunches often go wrong, but this one was necessary. With the old codebase, ModularGrid had become extremely difficult to maintain, making bug fixes and further development hard and, in some cases, impossible.

We’ve modernized the code and made some visual adjustments along the way. It’s no secret that ModularGrid is built on the Bootstrap framework, and we’ve continued to use it with the help of a designer who wishes to be called "the Ghost".

We fixed many bugs, but we’ve no doubt introduced some new ones. The good news is that they should now be much easier to fix.

There are also a few new features:
• the search now includes an exclude filter
• pedalboards can be converted from inches to centimeters

We tried to change everything without changing anything.

Here’s to the next 13 years!

what a surprise looks good

but i cant delete modules from a rack on my phone at the moment

What a nice surprise to wake up to!

No longer have to refresh the page to have a clear view of all the modules without the mouse-hover menu appearing :)

Thanks for reporting, I have deployed a change that hopefully fixes the issue.

fix confirmed thank you

I don't like it make it go away!!! Hahaha, actually looking good to me, smart.

Looks swish, and seems to be alot more responsive thus far!

Thanks for the great work :)

hello, about that redesign, i am unable to reach the delete hover "btn-group-vertical module-edit-btns" on 1u rows, unless its the left-most module. i worked around via hotkeys but this is new since revamp. cheers

Thank you! It looks much better and seems to not move modules around (or out of the case) randomly. However, the "keep me logged in" feature doesn't work on my computer. It worked just fine in the older version.

Guess I switched timelines or something because when I opened up the site I was actually still logged in! I jest. Thank you for your hard work, it looks great!

I have uploaded a change that willl hopefully fix the issue. Thanks for reporting!

I REALLY miss the Youtube links at the bottom. Any reason for removing them?

Also, alternative faceplates on a module's page are tiny now.

They should be there on most module views. Sometime we run into YouTubes API limits but that resolves by itself after some time.

That's true and can be improved

So good, and thank you for all your continued hard work and dedication to this marvellous place. :-)

I like the new look, and the overall functionality seems to have improved, but some of the modules currently available no longer appear in the search results.

Do you have an example?

Yep! perfect!

When I search for modules I no longer see if they're already in the active rack or not

Say I'm following a certain manufacturer for the rack.. I filter by their name.. their modules get sorted by newest.. but I can't quickly see where I am up to on their releases. The old site used to give a count by the search result of how many of these modules I have already in that rack

Thanks for the report, that should work again.

Working great now, cheers for the quick fix!

Congrats on the redesign. Crossing my fingers that the code rework means we may get 19" rack added one of these days :)

There are also a few new features:
• the search now includes an exclude filter
-- modulargrid

Much appreciate this new search feature! It seems like the current inferface design only allows for the exclusion of any single module function. Now that there's some code in place for excluding certain results from a search, I'm wondering if it would be possible to expand this feature even more. If it's not too much to ask, I'm requesting the ability to also filter out certain text terms from the search results. For instance, I might want to search for low-pass filter modules, and exclude any results that contain the term "ladder" because I've already got all the ladder filters I need. AFAIK there's no way to do that currently.

We have that now! Use it in the freetext search field with
low-pass -ladder

Now thats a blast from the past **"All your module are belong to us" ** on he rotating quote thing, back in the day when I had all of the Music/Audio software internet backed up on CD-R
