Never-before-seen technology — read comics on mobile devices.

Unbelievable, but years later, it finally happened! No Jam Today has transitioned to the 3.0 version of the website, now with responsive design that works for mobile devices. Digging through 10 years of ancient, gradually changed code turned out to be a very time-consuming and painful task, but it paid off. The new code is a lot more expandable and flexible, so adding new content or restructuring it will become way easier, which means more time for actually creating content. Oh, and the site now also embraced its dual-language nature.

Still, there is a lot more that has to be done. So here's the current roadmap for the comic's future.

Short-term:

Fixing some leftover transitioning issues like broken links and styles, fixing newly introduced bugs, adding more minor QoL features.
Launching several new comic series that've been waiting for it for way too long.
Minor updates to "branding" of old comics.

Medium-term:

Updating the Hero and Series sections with new information, as well as some of the other older pages.
Translating more of the older comic issues to English.
Building the site's own avatar generation system.
Restoring the Anime Review section and transitioning it to a dual-language mode.

Long-term:

Launching the next "season" of NJT cafe with updated graphics.
Relaunching No Roll Today with updated graphics.
Probably finally doing something with No Japan Today and No School Today. Probably after finally updating the photography site that needs the same treatment as this one went through.

Planned a lot, haven't we? And now, to see what life has to say about that...
