Sounds good - since the sharing site is so critical for me, I'll just play around locally with the new format for now until the new sharing site is available. It sounds like a great and long overdue set of improvements! 
What is the main reason the sharing site is critical to you?
It's basically App Store Connect for BTT preset developers, haha. There are many reasons the sharing site is critical to me despite it not currently making sense for every preset creator. I think there's an opportunity to remedy that with a better consumer-facing frontend, which sounds exactly like what you're working on. If everyone could get the benefits I get from the sharing site, and if the integration with the BTT app was tighter, I think it would be a lot more popular.
The sharing site is critical because:
- It provides a trusted plugin directory for BTT.
- Having a plugin directory dramatically lowers the barrier of entry for new BTT users, which in turn increases the chances of new users being able to install my preset.
- The verification display makes a tangible difference in traction. Without it, substantially less people install the preset. This is only available through the sharing site.
- It allows me to set important properties like the minimum BTT version required to install my preset.
Since the very first release of the sharing site I've been assuming that one day there will be a user-searchable frontend, but that it was simply limited due to time constraints. That's another reason why I've been steadfast in using the sharing site - so my preset's public-facing page can grow along with whatever you develop

In 3.263 alpha I added a hacky way to create one of these "touch & slide to change brightness" buttons that everybody seems to love 
(but unfortunately I can't implement it like Apple so it just uses BTT gestures to achieve this)
Here is an example (using a CAG to enable the gestures based on the open Touch Bar group and using a long press to open that group):
BrightnessSlider.bttpreset (65.2 KB)
Seems to work pretty well considering it's a wild hack

Any idea why this is happening? It has been going on for a few weeks now...
It starts with one notification, then the rest start doing the same until all are large and inverted.

got same issue recently on alpha BTT.
I also saw the improved global gestures but can't seem to find the settings for it...
@onaforeignshore @yuuiko does this notification thing always happen? Is there a way to reproduce it / how long does it usually take until it breaks? And have you already tried >= 3.261? I made some changes that could help here yesterday.
The global gestures can be enabled in the gesture settings:
Ah I was able to reproduce it! Will be fixed later today!
@onaforeignshore @yuuiko I hope this is fixed now in 3.266!
Haven't checked the notification badges but I'm now actively working on AQT.
Small request:
"Look at next n Days" is missing from the "Show all remaining events for today" option:
And I also believe that it makes more sense to change "look at next n days" to "look at next n events" for the "Next event" mode, or make it switchable between days and events
Thanks so much! I may dish out a few requests so brace! 
Edit:
In addition it seems like the date for the Reminders isn't working:
Edit2: Is the 16" escape key variable available for use right now? Auto-disable escape key is one of the higher priorities for me right now.
@yuuiko I have added these options in 3.277, however I can't make it based on the next events as the API requires a date range to look at. You can just enter a high enough number if you want to include an arbitrary distant future (although this can affect performance)
Noticing a change in BTT behavior since yesterdays update(s), while I have been updating Icon images.
The image being replaced isn't always displayed in the Touch Bar until I restart BTT. If I Drag/Drop image icon into the config, the icon doesn't change on touchbar like it did before. I first have to delete the image, then add new image to see the results in touchbar without the need for a restart of BTT.
Also seeing alternate font color not working on icons until a restart. Simply changing the size of the icon, icon reverts to "primary color" when alternate color should be displayed based on AppleScript.
The updating issue should be fixed in 3.278 which is currently uploading (issue is caused by new caching which makes everything a bit more performant but I need to work a bit more on the edge cases)
I'm not sure whether I understand the alternate font issue, could you post an example?
Alternate Icon Color, based on the alternate font color, changed with AppleScript Regex. The color of certain icons will change based on the font color changes.
Feature Request:
I've been working on a bunch of new Tools for BTT and have had a need for Alternate Font Size on a few. Is this something you have thought of adding? We have alternate font color, why not add the ability to change to an alternate font size as well?
good idea. You can already do it if you return some basic HTML as the title e.g.
<html>
<span style="font-size:25px; color:white;">xxxx</span>
</html>
However this will also override all other font related settings.
I was looking at doing it in the script, but figured I would pass that along. Seems to make sense to have that feature.
I did some testing with the alternate font color regex / icon thingy, would be great if you could try 3.279!
v.3.279
I dont see any changes or a field for alternate font size??? Icon/Font Color/Alternate Color is working as expected still.
- I meant the issue with alternate font colors not always updating the icon. The different font sizes may come in a future update but not this release cycle
