Steadier GIFs, pictures checked on Kemble’s own server, and the legal pages

The GIF picker retries quietly and shows its grid while it loads, the sensitive-picture check runs on Kemble’s own server, and kemble.io has its terms, acceptable use, cookies, subprocessors, security and legal notice pages.

The GIF picker no longer shows “GIFs could not be loaded” on the first dropped connection: it asks again quietly, twice, while the grid’s shape is drawn, and it never asks again when GIF search says it is busy. The sensitive-picture check now runs an open model on Kemble’s own server, so no picture is sent anywhere else for it; it also checks a GIF’s first frame and a video’s opening frame. In Kemble Circle a community’s marked pictures are blurred by default, and in an age-restricted channel you entered they show as they are. A Kemble Work workspace can turn on “Blur pictures marked sensitive” under Preferences › Admin; it is off until an admin turns it on.

kemble.io now has Terms of service, Acceptable use, Cookies, Subprocessors, Security and a Legal notice, gathered under Legal in the footer and in the app’s Settings › About, and a security.txt for researchers. The community page’s join button now comes from the official Kemble community chosen in the staff console, and is checked on every visit.
