Shacknews Dev Update

We have a tiny update for Shacknews Cortex tonight:

• Updating the favicon to have a black background (not sure when it will ship exactly)

Things we are working on:

• Brand new unannounced project
  • After assessing the state of Cortex and Shackpets, we had determined that there is a better use of our time between now and the end of the year.
  • We are still going to be working on Cortex Shouts updates, but Shackpets updates are going to be pushed back.
  • We have learned quite a bit from the rollouts of Cortex, Shackpets, and Shouts.
• Cleaning up how the embed code is displayed when you click the embed button on Cortex Shouts.
• Shackpets
  • We may have found a way to work on Shackpets and the new project at the same time
  • Working on improved onboarding, including a tutorial for new users
  • Working on a solution to better help users who have had posts rejected by AI moderation
  • Working on an update to adhere to Google Play's upcoming changes.
