The new UI is here!
5 years ago
I'm seeing things I like, a few things I don't like, and a lot of things that I'm neutral toward, but will have to get used to.
I just REALLY hope FA doesn't become a scripted hellscape like DeviantArt, Twitter, Facbook, or just about every modern website that's full of memory and cpu eating scripts that serve no function other than to slow the site down on computers that aren't fast. I like a UI that doesn't feel the need to run a supercomputer's worth of javascript. I like a UI that doesn't try to do fancy things that fail half the time, or don't work on mobile at all. I like a UI that just works. That's what Furaffinity was, and as far as I can tell, it has stayed that way with this change. I hope it stays that way with any future changes.

I've been using the "Beta" version since it became available, and I can say that this is still a pleasant improvement.
Given the new UIs framework, they're in a good position to rebuild a new FA, hopefully using the latest web based standards right from the get go.
Either way, cool stuff! \OwO/
