V3 Site Design

V3 Home Page

Nitro Type v3, or v3, was a site-wide update to Nitro Type that occurred on June 5, 2019. Alpha testing for Gold members started on March 8, 2019, and open beta testing began on May 3, 2019. The updates included a completely new site design and a new track.

Updates[]

New Track[]

In May 2017, Travis announced in a news post that there would be a new track. He said the graphics of the new track would look cleaner, support larger friend races, and have a different font from the current one.

On August 21, 2019, the new track was opened for testing on the test site. Visually, the new track was updated to match the design of typing.com, i.e., the background was made white, and the font was changed from Droid Serif to Courier New. On October 16, 2019, the track was released.

Site Redesign[]

In addition to the new track, every single page of Nitro Type was redesigned. This was first officially announced in August 2018. In October 2018, there was a news post that showed users what the garage page would look like. This was met with mixed opinions. On March 8, 2019, the new site was released to the public. On June 5, 2019, this new look was pushed to the main site.

On August 30, 2019, the navigation bar and logo were changed altogether on the test site: like the 2.0 design, the navigation bar was separated into individual, adjacent buttons instead of half of them being stuck behind the "My Stuff" drop-down, and the logo was centered on the page with a larger size on top of the buttons rather than right next to them. In addition, a link to the teacher portal appears on every page if the user is not logged in, and a new loading screen was added.
