v2.0.0: ALICE in 1986

Hello, Hoshiyomis! We are back with a brand-new Starbuttons!

• It's built with Svelte
• It seperates the audios to sbtn-assets
• It's more configurable and forkable (we have config.ts)
• It has more readable code (maybe)
• It has been simplified (the editor will be moved to a seperate repo)

Features

• Smaller loading size (~90k JS transferred with animations, about 1/4 compared to v1)
• UI tweaks
• Better background display on mobile

By the way, we kept the old branch to preserve the contributor list. Thanks you all for your contributions! ❤️

Bugs

• Sentry is not there yet, so we don't know if it has something wrong with you. Feel free to tell us if you experience any problems!

Codename

I think we can use the years when Halley's Comet appears as the version number

@blackgear, https://t.me/Hoshimachi_Suisei/248726

...so we added "1986" to the codename!

Also, we wanted to use something Suisei-ic, but Suisei hasn't released new originals since Pieces, so as an alternative, we chose something Hololive-ic, which is "ALICE".

Officially speaking, ALICE is:

• sora
• flare
• marin
• canata (it's actually Kanata)
• suisei

(we genuinely think you can come out with better ones)

Finally, as what we have been doing, music:
