[UPDATE] Major upgrade to the DIY Projects system with GitHub-inspired features:
New Features:
- Upvote/Downvote — replaced star system with up/down voting, cached net score
- Follow Projects — follow projects and see activity in your feed (/projects/following)
- Activity Timeline — every project change is tracked and visible in the Activity tab
- Versioned Releases — create tagged releases (v1.0, v2.0-beta) with markdown notes and downloadable files
- Image Carousel — uploaded images auto-detected, shown in a carousel with lightbox viewer on the Files tab
- External Links — add up to 10 categorized links (repo, website, docs, purchase, video, social)
- Recently Active sort — new sort option on the projects index
New Tabs on Project Page: Description, Files (with carousel), BOM, Build Log, Releases, Activity, Comments
Database: 6 new tables (project_activity, project_releases, project_release_files, project_votes, project_follows, project_links) + schema alterations
Files: 6 new models, 4 new templates, projects.js for interactive features
