Construction of NiusWorks.com has continued sporatically since its advent in autumn of 2012. Since then the site has undergone several overhauls, each implementing new homemade and third-party libraries and using new backend schemas while offering differing features as necessary at the time.
The entire site is hand-written from scratch, except for the third-party libraries listed below and except for the software actually running the site (such as Apache and MySQL Server). The site's accounts and permissions system, blog management system, and stylesheets (where not provided by a library such as Bootstrap) are all custom-built from zero.
The site is currently on its 4th iteration.

Libraries Currently In Use

• A SQL-PHP library written by Cody Creager (Rigel314) and Ethan Reesor (FireLizzard18) for automating and reducing numerous SQL-related tasks.
• JSTree by Ivan Bozhanov, a library for implementing interactive hierarchal tree structures using JavaScript.
• Quill Editor for implementing rich text editors using JavaScript.
• JQuery version 1.10.2, by the JQuery Foundation (now the JS Foundation).
• Bootstrap version 3.0.3 by the Bootstrap team.
• A php function by Jeffrey Sambells for formatting file sizes as human-readable, which is somewhat cumbersome with Linux and PHP.
