Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

I remember reading you were working on infinite scrolling for MyBB, similar to Flarum's. Do you still have plans for this or is it just a personal project? In my opinion Flarum has created a nearly perfect replacement for pagination. To see this on MyBB would be amazing.

This is heavily inspired from Flarum, both in the design and the code. Looks and feels pretty good I must say. Gonna deploy when it's ready.

Note that the GIF is throttled to a GPRS connection (500 ms, 50 kb/s). Usually you only see the already loaded posts.

Now the issue is customization – to reduce the exchanged data, I've set up a separate API point and the post/thread is built using a JavaScript template, which ends up being hard to customize (it's not pure HTML). Still looking for the best solution...
