Started the front end refresh by starting to plug in the new design on
the index page. The search methodology was still not consistent, so that
process was cleaned up to display what is actually being tracked based
on the two action criteria, then updating the design for the location
links to be clear and display the heat rating.
Added a repo link to the About section.
Reactivated CSV exports based on Heat Rating, which is the percentage of
Current Sources the have taken action, a suspend or a silence, against
an instanct. The higher the Heat Rating, the more Sources that have
taken actions agaisnt it, so they should be viewed with caution
Actions taken against and instance of have been separted into their
respective buckets so they can be display properly rather than simply
grouped together and mislabled.
This gives a better sense of the severity of response per instance.
Finally moved over the public search API from the old version and
updated the about page to show the new data structure
Also tweaked the location update script to change 'defederate' to
'suspend' for the sake of consistency
Tweaked the about page to include some langauge talking about where the
data is coming from and how it's being used and linking to the
respective sources
Plugged in noted counts that detail how many times an instance as been
suspended or silenced by members of the Trusted Sources.

Also added some additional meta data to links displaying instances lists
so status and counts can be identified at a glance
Swithced the main nav to a mobile layout to cut down on complex
responsive styling to make the heaader work.
Also began touching up site wide responsive styles so the site works on
multiple devices.
Turned on the new preliminary search on the index page. Still pretty
raw but wanted to make sure all the plumbing was there.
Next stage is to clean it up a bit and make it sexy
Added additional pages About, Listings, and Location as well as
implementing the corresponding functionality for those pages to be able
to pull the data they need from the DB.
Also continued layout clean up and adjusted some gloabal font sizing
settings
Functionality is coming along at a good pace, so it was time to start
adjusting the templates and styles to the new layout.
Responsive will come after all of the pages have been updated.
Added the necessary template files for every page needed. Most are still
empty but all are accounted for from the previous version.
Also organized all routes to the dashboard, named the den for better security
Rebuilt member authorization and session handling within Laravel's
envirnoment. Sticking with bcrypt encryption for passwords to make the
transistion simple.
Added some controllers and template pages to test connection with the db
and begin the process of porting over functionality to this version.
Also made some minor tweaks to formatting configs and updated a color in
the css
Archived previous version to switch codebase to Laravel framework for
the sake of reducing complexity to lower the barrier for entry for
potential contributers. Because easier is always better.
