Announcements

Announce a new member in NowQuant Project family: NowQuant Book (Beta)!

NQBook is a next-generation high-performance orderbook designed for Agentic Harness. It is fully plugin-able where agents are able to write 2 kind of plugins that either receives the feed (Adapter) or computes features (Feature).

We introduce dynamic loading into the core engine, with a C-ABI SDK: NQCPPSDK. Powered by this SDK, Agents can even write plugin using Python or Rust, without the need to recompile the core engine, thus you don't even need to copy the source code.

You can custom your plugin to adapt to whatever feed source: either live api, or history file such as Parquet, and compute whatever features you need: incremental, snapshot, cumulative, and more!

NQBook is an important part of the NowQuant Project. It provides the fundamental of feature engineering. I have released the beta version on Github and only works on MacOS. Expect to find more in the following days. Meanwhile, another project NowQuant Lake is being actively developed, which will work closely with NQBook! We will announce it shortly.

v1.5 — 2026-09-01

• Support HTML as blog content.
• Upload file. An Upload file button (<FileImportButton>, next to each form's submit) loads a .md file as editor text; for admins it also accepts a .html file (max 1MB) whose raw text becomes the body — shown as an attachment card (<HtmlDocCard>) in place of the editor, since HTML is never hand-written or previewed. Wired into the thread forms and the Posts/Blogs managers; announcements untouched.
• Format-aware rendering. <Content> renders markdown through react-markdown, and an html body by injecting it as-is — the backend only accepts the format from admins, so the page trusts what it reads. Forum snippets and meta descriptions strip tags (and style/script blocks) from HTML bodies; thumbnails read the first <img>.
• Post/Blog carry an optional format field ("markdown" | "html"), sent with every create/edit.
• Markdown limits: posts 30,000 chars, blogs 60,000 (matching the backend, which now counts characters rather than bytes).

Changed

• A project's updated_at now means "last activity", not "row last edited". POST /api/post and PUT /api/post stamp the parent project through the new ProjectRepository.Touch, so /api/project?sort=updated ranks projects by their newest discussion and the frontend's "New" badge lights for projects the forum has been busy in. One single-column write per post, instead of the project list joining posts and taking a MAX(updated_at) per row on every request.
• internal/post declares the one-method ProjectToucher interface rather than importing internal/project, and registerPostRoutes now takes the project repository.
• Loading state while paging. Changing ?page= stays inside the same route segment, so app/loading.tsx never fired. <PendingList> (src/components/list/) now swaps the list for the shared <Spinner> while a pager link is in flight — on Forum, Projects, Blog and a project's Discussions — driven by Next 16's useLinkStatus() reported from each <Chip>.
• Projects rank by their newest discussion, and the "New" badge follows: the backend now stamps a project's updated_at on every thread post or edit, which sorting, the badge and <MarkSeen> already read.

Added

• ProjectRepository.BackfillActivity(), run once at boot next to the existing fan-verification migration. It lifts any project whose newest discussion is more recent than its own updated_at, so existing rows rank correctly from the first deploy. Idempotent — once caught up the WHERE matches nothing, and a project edited after its last post is left alone rather than rolled back.
• Sorting and paging. A–Z / Newest controls on Forum and Projects; Forum, Projects, Blog and a project's Discussions paged at 10 rows. <SortControls>, <Pagination> and <Chip> are plain links, so everything works without client JS, and the forum's project filter round-trips to the backend as ?project= so the pager counts the filtered set. URL helpers live in src/lib/query.ts.
• "New" badges track edits. The seen_<kind> cookie holds a unix-seconds updated_at watermark and isFresh() lights anything changed within 3 days after that mark; an edited thread, project or post lights up again. Old id-valued cookies are ignored.
• One badge per list — the newest record in the current view, resolved by its own sort=updated&order=desc&page_size=1 lookup (Blog reuses /api/blog/recent), so an A–Z or page-2 view never badges the wrong row. Projects join Blog and Forum with <MarkSeen kind="projects"> and a header dot.

Hi all,

The number of members has just reached 21! Thanks for you registration. I have recently released the version 1.1 of this site. You can now experience the refactored UI and a brand new "forum" section where anyone can send message and interact. Blog section will be adding more tutorials!

Cheers, Zhouzhou
