# Status Update
It's been quiet around here on this front for a little while, sickness got the best of me and had me down and just unable and pretty much unwilling to get much of anything done, except a couple of short scripts for HiveTools.

## New List View
I got tired of trying to figure out the best way to truncate the post and keep a picture using just the utilities normally used in Django so decided it was a good idea to just toss that out the window and make it a fancy table instead. So, voilà:

## Better Image support
Well, not that it does pictures any better, but it does now pickup pictures that are posted on a single line not using markdown (why do people do this) along with cleaning up the regex it uses to find and create the img src url with the proxy

## Also the Price Widget
May have noticed there is a price widget on the right side of that picture, that's mostly new too.

## Caching 
One of the biggest additions is something that can not be seen, but I have enabled page caching in Django to increase the speed of loading and to take some pressure off the server when more than one request happens at a time for things like /trending /hot et el. Just need to figure out a good time limit to keep the cache as to not serve stale information, consider it a WIP ;)

## That's it.
That's all I have for now I think, I may be forgetting something. If you would like to check out the code (See what I did there) you can get it [on GitHub](https://github.com/thecrazygm/hiveview). I promise I'm trying to figure out the wording for a proposal and hope to have one soon for this and the "Learning Python by Example" series, stay tuned for that.

As always, bee safe, bee kind,
