We’ve just rolled out a new STO Info update across both the frontend and backend, with a strong focus on privacy, security, accessibility, and community feedback.

Backend highlights

  • Contact us form handling
  • New automated cleanup job for contact requests to improve data privacy and retention compliance
  • Configurable retention periods for email masking and record deletion
  • Secure refresh token verification added

Frontend highlights

  • New “About the Team” pages for developers, volunteers, and supporters
  • Contact form added for feedback and enquiries
  • Accessibility improvements (ARIA labels, image titles, and general polish)
  • Security improvements to cookies (SameSite=Lax + Secure)
  • Dependency updates and refactoring for long-term maintainability

As always, the app remains free to use, open, and community-focused. Feedback is welcome!
