Then we have to keep up with two wardrobes at a time. We're sunsetting the old wardrobe until browsers stop supporting it, and we're working on the V3 wardrobe going forward. The beta wardrobe wouldn't have gotten any more bug fixes or changes, and there was a lot needing doing there.

The V3 wardrobe is considerably more stable, is faster, and uses far less server processing power than the beta wardrobe, and is what we're focusing on going forward.

Drawers are in progress :)

What I'm seeing though, and something that concerns me, is that people have huge wardrobes full of items they don't use / will never use. We need to stop incentivizing that (wardrobe achievements) and actually try to get people to just have items in their wardrobes that they want to use. Not only does have 15,000 items in your wardrobe really slow down YOUR wardrobe, but it makes the entire system sluggish.

I understand where you're coming from, but that wasn't how it was going to work. V1 isn't ever going to work again, it's based on a format that browsers are going to stop supporting because JSON won. There is no way we could rewrite the entire thing to use JSON without... rewriting the entire thing, which brings us to!

The beta/V2 wardrobe, which was an attempt to rewrite the wardrobe on top of the same kind of structure as the old wardrobe. This was foolish and has ended up with a relatively sluggish wardrobe that doesn't do anything well. People still use the V1 wardrobe for as much as they can because the V2 experience is miserable, which brings us to.... v3!

V3 Is built on ReactJS and Flux, which are libraries that are built at Facebook. Software engineers much smarter than me have done the hard work of making pieces connect and move, and I write all of the Subeta features on top of it. That means I can spend more time focusing on features and speed, than I do on really annoying internal pieces. It's also using a new version of the wardrobe API that has nothing to do with the old (v1) system, which is why it's so much faster. There are bugs, but they are easily fixable.

I hope that helps explain why just "fixing up" the v2 or v1 wardrobe isn't the answer, and I actually did a huge disservice to you, the user, by focusing on it so much. :/

We are working hard on the layout of the V3 wardrobe, there is a lot of progress being made, but I don't have anything to announce yet. Right now it's in basically wireframe mode while we push it out, so that at least it's usable. I can try to bring the brightness on it down a little bit :)

Not at all, I understand what you're saying. The V1 wardrobe is currently the only way to remove items from your wardrobe (I'm working on replicating that now) and so it needs to stay around for as long as we can until that is a feature otherwise.

The v2 wardrobe is removed from the site, and will not be referenced to anymore.

The v3 wardrobe is what we're pointing people to, even though it isn't completely done, it is a work in progress that is coming along quickly. :)

What are you searching for? It's possible it'll spin forever if there is no actual item from what you're searching :) I'll work on getting an error there instead of just a spinning bar forever.

[edit]

Oops! There was actually an error. Just pushed a fix :)

Check now, it should show all items correctly :)

What browser are you using? I was able to just load your avatar / wardrobe fine.

Found the culprit, your wardrobe is actually too big to put in memory. Working on it now.

Can you two give me a try now? It might require a hard refresh!

What about now? It's slower than I'd like, but it might be enough!

Perfect :) I can work on the speed now, then!

There isn't a save feature at the moment, it's being worked on!

Hey guys! I just posted a topic about the wardrobe and made a push that should speed up item loading and the 'all items' view. I'm going to lock this up for now, please use the announcement thread!
