About a month ago we announced Sta.sh and Sta.sh Writer -- not as a hot topic, but we soft-launched to the hq membership and to the more savvy deviants who follow along when we release things.  

Development of both products has never stopped and will continue in an ongoing manner moving forward.
Below, I've outlined a change log that tracks recent Sta.sh progress and also identified Known Issues that we're aware of and actively working on.


Change Log



You now have the option to include/exclude your journal from the Journal Portal, and from your Journal Tab's new "Featured" section.


The Journal Portal in the footer of deviantART now pulls from the Journals category but excludes all "Personal" posts. This means, you must categorize your Journal on submission for it to even qualify to appear in the footer of dA. This has substantially increased the quality of posts that appear there.


We were having some issues editing old articles within Groups, and those bugs have been fixed.


Sta.sh Writer now has an improved Preview mode from the old Journal writing system so you can see your post, CSS, avatars, images, etc. exactly as they're going to appear once published.


Various user interface changes are now live and have improved the quality of Sta.sh substantially. Clicking files in Sta.sh shows you the files - it no longer forces the Edit & Submit mode.


Countless bug fixes should have Sta.sh and Sta.sh Writer functioning quite smoothly. We have all greatly benefitted from the excellent feedback that is making this product much stronger by the day!



Known Issues:



We have been developing very exciting functionality for Sta.sh Writer that will permit you to Write and then publish to anywhere you have access to post. This means you can Write an entry and publish to your Journal on your profile, and to a Group at the same time. Or optionally you can publish to all of the Groups you're a deviant of and have access to. This should solve many redundancies in the deviantART system these days where one must copy and paste in many locations in order to get the word out.


Sta.sh's file organization interface makes it tedious to access certain functions, such as Delete. A new interface has been designed that simplifies all core actions, and will be made live soon.


Sta.sh Writer currently defaults to open the most recently edited Draft. We've decided to always open a brand new file, and create a "File" menu at the top consisting of: New, Open Draft (with Quick Draft Links), Save, Save & Exit


Sta.sh Writer currently cannot access Group Skins (only the skins installed individually by deviants). We will soon provide functionality giving you the ability to use any skin you'd otherwise have access to anywhere you want. Our reasoning is, if you have access to the skin you could easily cut and paste it anyway so we may as well make this easier to address the needs here.


Group Journals are considered "Personal" -- they will likely be re-categorized in the tree and separated from Personal.


Old systems like the original editor for Journals, and the original editor for Group Journals (formerly Blogs) don't permit you to submit a Journal to a category within the Journal Portal. Because of this, all Group Journals are currently excluded from the footer of deviantART where they would otherwise gain a lot more exposure. This will be fixed shortly.




Thank you!



Community feedback is essential for successful product releases.  Please feel free to leave comments, questions, and suggestions in this journal.  Our Product team will be actively reading and reviewing all feedback in an effort to deliver Sta.sh and Sta.sh Writer in forms best suited to the deviantART community.

When i tried to write a art feature and used Sta.sh to put all the images in it from my faves it kept showing errors for every single image added, even 'fatal error's a few times too, then when i saved it it deleted about half every time. I hope this has been solved as i had to re-do the article 3 times before having to write the whole thing on word and just copying and pasting each thumb code individually, and even then it deleted some.

After that i now despise sta.sh writer but have no choice but to use it otherwise it only can be added as personal.

What I'd really like to have, is the option to upload minor scrap art, such as deviant I'ds that skip the watchers. This way I can upload some of my really old art to the scrap gallery without them going "WTF is this sh..."

Uhm, perhaps you can also look into the issue where "Edit Journal" on the bar refuses to let you use your skins. I"m not going to pay $8 every three months if I can't use my skins. So far, you can only go through Sta.sh to use them. Either take down the Journal editor or fix this bug, please?

Another bug you might want to look at is that literature/journal/news thumbs are slightly borked. On dAmn, all Lit thumbs, regardless of gallery or source, default to huge Journal thumbs. On dA, large thumbs that feature news or journals default to the gray "DeviantART Poetry and Prose" thumb with no scrolling text.
I'm not perturbed by this in the least. Just thought it might be nice in a future Sta.sh update to fix thumbs as well.

Never been disappointed by new advancement in dA.

I do have a question though. When Sta.sh was first released, I wrote a journal using it and it vanished from my deviations and journals a couple days later. Will it ever reappear, or is it lost?
