Refactor CSS to use standard Tailwind-style utility classes instead of
ad-hoc rules. This eliminates a lot of single-purpose rules for specific
UI elements and standardizes margins to be more consistent throughout
the site.
Utility classes are defined manually on an as-needed basis instead of
importing Tailwind as a whole. Naming conventions mostly follow
Tailwind's conventions, otherwise they follow Bootstrap.

Add the ability to restrict API keys so that they can only be used with
certain IP addresses or certain API endpoints.
Restricting your key is useful to limit damage in case it gets leaked or
stolen. For example, if your key is on a remote server and it gets
hacked, or if you accidentally check-in your key to Github.
Restricting your key's API permissions is useful if a third-party app or
script wants your key, but you don't want to give full access to your
account.
If you're an app or userscript developer, and your app needs an API key
from the user, you should only request a key with the minimum
permissions needed by your app.
If you have a privileged account, and you have scripts running under
your account, you are highly encouraged to restrict your key to limit
damage in case your key gets leaked or stolen.
* Add an explanation of what an API key is and how to use it.
* Make it possible for the site owner to view all API keys.
* Remove the requirement to re-enter your password before you can view
your API key (to be reworked).
* Move the API key controller from maintenance/user/api_keys_controller.rb
to a top level controller.
* Factor out the post navbar into a component. The post navbar is the
part of the post containing the current search, the list of pools, and
the list of favgroups, along with next/prev navigation links.
* Change navbar markup: remove various unused CSS classes/IDs, change
pools to use same markup as favgroups, replace nested <div>'s with
flat <ul>/<li> list.
* Use CSS to truncate long searches/pool names/favgroup names if they're
too wide for the screen (especially on mobile).
Broken in 49bc2364 by the use of @extend.
Here's what happened. There are two CSS rules that both apply to pool links:
* a:link { color: var(--link-color); }
* .pool-category-series a { color: var(--series-pool-color); }
These rules have equal specificity (0-1-1). This means the rule that is
defined last takes priority. This means the order in which CSS files are
included matters. 49bc2364 used the @extend directive in a rule for
popup menus, which required an @import, which changed the order of the
CSS files, which made the a:link rule suddenly take priority over the
series pool rule.
The proper fix would be to use Sass's new @use directive instead of
@import, but that requires the latest version of Sass, which requires
the latest version of Webpacker, which we can't upgrade to yet because
of breaking changes.
The real moral of the story is: our CSS is very fragile because of
specificity rules. It's very important that rules are defined in a
certain order, otherwise our CSS will break.

Factor out FontAwesome icons into a set of helpers. This is so that it's
easier to keep track of which icons we're using and easier to change
icons globally.
Change [quote] styling to Reddit/Github style (greyed out, with a bar on
the left side) instead of traditional forum style (big grey box around
the quote).
Reasons for this change:
* Box style is bulkier, especially for short quotes in comments.
* Box style works poorly for deeply nested quotes.
* Box style looks bad on widescreen monitors, since the quote stretches
across the full width of the screen.
* Add comment scores.
* Rework voting buttons so that you can click the upvote/downvote
buttons to toggle votes.
* Hide the edit, delete, undelete, and report buttons behind a popup menu.
* Show the upvote/downvote/reply buttons to logged out users. Redirect
them to the login page instead.
Previously thresholded comments were hidden completely. You had to click
the "Show X hidden comments" button to unhide all hidden comments in a
thread. Now it works like this:
* When a comment is below your threshold, the comment text is hidden and
replaced by a `[hidden]` link, which you can click to unhide the comment.
* When a comment is at half your threshold (for example, your threshold
is -8 but the comment is at -4), then the comment is greyed out.
This means that comments aren't completely hidden, they're just
collapsed, so you can see the commenter and the score without unhiding
the comment. It also means you don't have to scroll back up to unhide a
comment, and threads aren't disrupted by comments being secretly
hidden (which is confusing when people are replying to hidden comments,
which forces you to go back up and unhide to find).
Refactor the post preview html to use the ViewComponent framework. This
lets us encapsulate all the HTML, CSS, and helper methods for a UI
component in a single place.
See https://viewcomponent.org.
Add a Restricted user level. Restricted users are level 10, below
Members. New users start out as Restricted if they sign up from a proxy
or an IP recently used by another user.
Restricted users can't update or edit any public content on the site
until they verify their email address, at which point they're promoted
to Member. Restricted users are only allowed to do personal actions
like keep favorites, keep favgroups and saved searches, mark dmails as
read or deleted, or mark forum posts as read.
The restricted state already existed before, the only change here is
that now it's an actual user level instead of a hidden state. Before it
was based on two hidden flags on the user, the `requires_verification`
flag (set when a user signs up from a proxy, etc), and the `is_verified`
flag (set after the user verifies their email). Making it a user level
means that now the Restricted status will be shown publicly.
Introducing a new level below Member means that we have to change every
`is_member?` check to `!is_anonymous` for every place where we used
`is_member?` to check that the current user is logged in.
Display a red wavy underline beneath misspelled tags in autocomplete.
We use an inline image for the underline instead of the native
`text-decoration: red wavy underline` property because the native
underline is too big and ugly, and we have no way to adjust it. Making a
nice-looking wavy underline in CSS is surprisingly difficult. This
turned out to be the cleanest way.
* Add a frequently asked questions section.
* Add nicer looking upgrade buttons.
* Format the page nicer.
* Prevent users from attempting invalid upgrades on users that are
already Platinum or above.
* Remove the `source` and `weight` html data attributes (no longer used).
* Make the `type` html data attribute properly indicate the completion
type. Valid types: `tag`, `tag-alias`, `tag-abbreviation`,
`tag-autocorrect`, `tag-other-name`.
* Let Mods and Admins see the email addresses of users below their level.
* Let users see their own email address on their profile.
* Let users verify or edit their email address from their profile.
This is to make catching sockpuppets easier, and to make it easier for
users to fix their email.
Add a new Owner user level for the site owner. Highly sensitive
operations like manually changing the passwords of other users will be
restricted to the site owner.
Display autocorrected tags similar to aliases, with an arrow pointing at
the corrected tag, but with a dotted underline beneath the misspelled
tag to indicate that it's misspelled.
* Only show the current pending flag on flagged posts. Don't show old flags.
* Don't show both the "This post was flagged for review" and the "This
post was flagged and is pending" notices.
* Only show the current pending appeal in the "This post was appealed"
notice. Don't show old appeals.
* Don't show both the "This post was deleted" and the "This post was
appealed" notice on appealed posts. Only show the "This post was
appealed" notice.
* Show "no reason" if no appeal reason was given.
Replace references to the `is_resolved` field with the `status` field.
Post flags were marked as resolved when a post was approved (but not
when the post was deleted because it went unapproved). The status field
supercedes the resolved field.
Fix not having any space between the Submit / Cancel buttons and the
bottom of the dialog box. For some reason this only happens in
production, not development.
Bug: if you moused over another note while dragging a note, it would
trigger a note body popup. This would also happen when drawing out a new
note.
Also fix the drag box for new notes being drawn behind other notes.
