Airsoft HQ v1.10–v1.16: marketplace, feed, speed, and new navigation

AI-filled marketplace, live feed on the homepage, faster loading, and a compact menu — everything that has changed in the last 6 major versions.

We haven't been idle — the platform has significantly improved with the recent updates. Here’s what’s new.

🛒 Marketplace

A full-fledged platform for buying and selling gear — right inside Airsoft HQ.

  • Ad showcase, product card, "My Listings" section
  • AI filling: input text — the system automatically recognizes the title, price, condition, category, and location
  • Chat between buyer and seller directly in the listing
  • Seller trust block on the profile — shows the number of active and completed deals
  • "Add Listing" button is available for everyone — unregistered users will be redirected to login, and after authentication, they will return to creation
  • Up to 10 photos per listing, convenient dropdowns for category, condition, and currency

📰 Community Feed

A block with live user content has appeared on the homepage.

  • See what the community is up to as soon as you enter the site
  • Feed cards in horizontal format — highlighting the author, category, and photo
  • Quick access to the full "Feed" section and post details

🏠 Homepage

The homepage has been completely redesigned — now it's a live hub, not a set of placeholders.

  • Upcoming events, venues, listings, and calculators — all on one screen
  • Empty blocks no longer distract — sections only appear when there's content
  • The "Upcoming Events" block has become more compact, with the content feed taking center stage
  • Cards are fully clickable, not just by the title

🧭 Navigation

The menu has become cleaner and more convenient — both on desktop and mobile.

  • Main menu: was 9 items → now 3 main + compact "More"
  • Side menu: was 21 items → now 12, secondary sections in expandable sub-items
  • Clicking a menu item with sub-items now opens the page, while the arrow on the right expands the nested items
  • Mobile hamburger menu with large login and registration buttons

⚡ Speed

The website has become noticeably faster at every step.

  • Pages load instantly — content appears immediately, without waiting for scripts
  • Fonts load in the background and do not delay rendering
  • Images load as you scroll
  • Repeat visits are almost instantaneous thanks to long resource caching
  • The logo has become 140 times lighter, partner logos optimized (–530 KB)

🌍 Public Access

Key sections are now available without registration.

  • Events, venues, scenarios, and the feed — open to guests
  • Improved navigation for unregistered users
  • Venues now have reviews with ratings

📍 Events and Venues

  • Event covers in a uniform banner format — look the same on the homepage, in the list, and on the page
  • Venue selection when creating an event — through convenient search instead of a dropdown list
  • Calculators have separate URLs — easy to share links

👥 Teams

  • A QR code in the style of Airsoft HQ has appeared on the team page — quickly open with your phone or share

🧾 Wishlists

  • Order statuses, printable pages, grouping, and cost breakdown by participants — group purchases have become more transparent

🔧 Little things that please

  • Correct site icon in the browser tab and on the home screen
  • Misspelling fixed: "Мой досье" → "Моё досье"
  • Menu displays in the correct language for all 9 locales
  • "Visit Site" link in the side menu for quick access to the public part
