Each new project shared gets a chance to be in Newest projects!
Thanks to an idea from scmb1 and JTxt, and some work done by paulmedwal (creator of clutter), the newest projects row now displays a random selection of recently shared projects each time the homepage is loaded.
This means that when people submit a new project, it has a much better chance of being viewed on the front page - not by everybody, but at least by some of the people who are viewing the homepage. Previously, only 3 projects would be shown to everyone until the cache renewed (and all the other projects shared in the meantime would skip the front page).
Many thanks to paulmedwal for implementing this!

Wow that is great it gives me new insentive to upload projects.
You'll be seeing more projects from me!
Nice! I liked that idea, good to see that it's been implemented.
Great idea! Now you can see new projects, and semi new projects.
Awesome! Thanks for implementing it.
Cool, this is much better than before.
This is a good idea. There's a higher chance of viewing more projects now.
Glad you all like it! Be sure to say thanks next time you see paulmedwal.
I'm graduating HS this April and going to college in the Fall.
i like this! It also makes the homepage a lot less boring - now there's new projects there every refresh!
oh dear it seems someone has already figured out how to abuse this someone with... quite a few usernames posted a project under mulitiple usernames and about every third time or so the project comes up... maybe it could be modified so that projects with the same name don't come up together at the same time?
Are you sure that what you are seeing is abuse? When we see giant streams of projects that look the same but are shared by different accounts, the culprit is usually a school / classroom.
yeah i noticed that. i refreshed the page and there were new projects, and then i did it again immediately, and there were new projects, and I kept on reloading the page and the new projects kept switching, and at first I was like, "Scratch is getting a lot of projects" and then I thought, "hmm" lol.
I think this helped my featured project get viewed more!
Thanks paulmedwal, scmb and everyone who implemented this!
That's what it was like before - Not all projects got on the newest projects, so that had to change it to this.
