Timeline Developer Diary: January 10, 2026 Update
We are excited to share the latest progress on the Timeline project as of January 10, 2026! The core focus of this update is the structural optimization centered around "Topics/Collections", designed to enhance content organization, user experience, and SEO performance.
💻 Frontend Enhancements
1. Introducing the New Topic Detail Page
We have launched a brand new "Topic Detail Page" to provide users with a deeper overview of specific content collections. This page will feature:
-
Timeline View: Displaying all significant time-based events within that topic.
-
Card Description: Providing a concise introduction and key information about the topic.
-
Most Viewed Articles: Highlighting the most popular articles within the collection, making it easy for users to discover hot content.
2. Developer Diary Association Restructure
-
Migration from 'People' to 'Topics': The primary association for Developer Diary entries has been fully migrated from 'People' to 'Topics'. This makes content organization more flexible, structured, and consistent with the overall content architecture.
3. Topic Integration in Article Details
-
Enhanced Inter-linking: Article detail pages will now feature enhanced visibility of associated "Topics". If an article's primary category is set as a specific Topic, the system will actively and prominently display the relevant Topic information.
4. Backend-Configured TDK for Core Pages
-
The TDK (Title, Description, Keywords) content for key pages such as the Homepage, Featured Pages, and Ranking Pages can now be centrally configured via the Admin Panel. This greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of our SEO strategy.
⚙️ Backend & Admin Panel Updates
1. Deep Linking Articles to Topics
-
A new feature has been added to the Admin Panel, allowing editors to link "Topics" directly to articles. This not only strengthens the intrinsic connection between pieces of content but also provides the necessary data foundation for the new frontend Topic Detail Page.
2. Topic Module Field Completion
-
To support the new frontend Topic Detail Page, we have completed the necessary fields within the Topic module:
-
Icon/Logo: For visual identification.
-
Background Image/Color: For page aesthetics and branding.
-
Description: Crucial for SEO and user understanding.
-
3. New Primary Category for Articles
-
A "Primary Category" field has been added to the article editing interface. This significant change prepares the system for future project split-offs and modular management, ensuring better scalability and maintainability.
