Hello my Habiteers! I have some amazing news to share with you, it's huge!
Has Habit ever crashed for you? (Joke). Well we <a target='_blank' href="http://habitrpg.tumblr.com/post/59104876969/website-issues-what-were-doing">re-wrote the website from the ground up</a>
so we could conquor all the bugs once and for all (more from Tyler in a bit). If you haven't seen me for a while (due to a bug in the old site), be sure to catch up with me on the right side of the screen for any missed news. Importantly, the following happened:

<a target='_blank' href='https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ocdevel.habitrpg'>Android</a> & <a target='_blank' href='https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/habitrpg/id689569235?mt=8'>iOS</a> Apps are out!
p They're open source, so help us make them awesome.
JavaScript developers! To me! We must finish vanquising the old site, as not all features have been ported.
We rewrote Habit on <a target='_blank' href='http://angularjs.org/'>AngularJS</a> + <a target='_blank' href='http://expressjs.com/'>Express</a>.
We desparately need your help porting the rest of the features, and polishing off the bugs. <a target='_blank' href='https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/wiki/Contributing#website'>Read this guide</a> to getting started.
Each of your pull requests shall grant you a special <a href='https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/issues/946#issuecomment-18654292' target='_blank'>Contributor Gear piece</a>. Thanks
