+# Wiki Updates
+
+- Added **[Alternative Frontend](https://ffmhy.pages.dev/)** of FMHY with totally different design. This pulls from the official source, so it will stay synced with new edits. It also has a [random site](https://i.ibb.co/fVkHqhRP/image.png) / [2](https://i.imgur.com/p4Mxs8y.png) button that works per page. Thank you to nw for making this.
+
+- Added **[3 New Instances](https://fmhy.net/other/backups)** to our Backups Page. (Samidy, JBugel, ArtistGrid.)
+
+- Added **[Catppuccin](https://i.ibb.co/Ps8vDJL0/image.png)** / [2](https://i.imgur.com/558l4gH.png) as a option in our color picker. Thank you to Samidy for doing this.
+
+- Added new section for [Textbooks](https://fmhy.net/reading#textbooks).
+
+- Added new section for [File Info / Metadata](https://fmhy.net/file-tools#file-info-metadata).
+
+- Merged Linux + Mac Torrent Clients into [Main Section](https://fmhy.net/torrenting#torrent-clients), and added labels + platform icons. [Before vs After](https://i.ibb.co/fV1zdt44/Untitled.jpg) / [2](https://i.imgur.com/THLiMqL.jpeg)
+
+- Re-ordered [Light Novel Sites](https://fmhy.net/reading#light-novels) based on library size and UI, added labels, removed small libraries, and starred two that stood out (NovelCool + WuxiaClick). [Before vs After](https://i.ibb.co/DSRfsrM/Untitled.png) / [2](https://i.imgur.com/IMRUQoo.png)
+
+- Debloated [Audio Recommendation](https://fmhy.net/audio#curated-recommendations) section + added new section for [Song / Artist Discovery](https://fmhy.net/audio#song-artist-discovery). [Before vs After](https://i.ibb.co/zTDNZgr9/Untitled.png) / [2](https://i.imgur.com/V6h0mQx.png)
+
+- Added Labels to both [Linux Cheat Sheets](https://fmhy.net/linux-macos#cli-cheat-sheets) + [Linux Distros](https://fmhy.net/linux-macos#linux-distros), thank you to [helxop](https://github.com/fmhy/edit/commit/9a9cd6dd47027ac63370b453ec86a943cdc0b9d6). [Before vs After](https://ibb.co/gMD8mKbw) / [2](https://i.imgur.com/hqqLsCB.png)
+
+- Revamped our [Feedback Window](https://i.ibb.co/JjpzRXL7/image.png) / [2](https://i.imgur.com/nODLPVM.png) to try to improve its look. Thank you to Samidy for doing this.
+
+- Added a backup / frontend for our [Grading Page](https://fmhy-grading.pages.dev/), and moved both our [Backup](https://fmhy.net/other/backups) + [FAQ](https://fmhy.net/other/FAQ) pages to our website instead of reddit/github. Thank you to Roi Goat + Samidy for doing this.
+
+- Improved our [theme handler](https://github.com/fmhy/edit/pull/4386), which will help us more easily switch or add themes in the future (like halloween, christmas, etc.) Thank you to Land for doing this.
+
+- Added 360 Total Security to unsafe sites. If you install any of their apps, it will keep giving the user popups to install their "toolbox," or will install it without consent if you use clean, repair, or optimize options. Once installed, the toolbox will then [modify your default apps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Qihoo_360#Malicious_promotion) (such as your browser) and switch them all to 360 options.
