Any update? Any plans to connect this site to the Bungie site?
Yeah he'll get right on it.

Shush.

In regards to the user links being hidden on mobile, I have temporarily fixed the issue until I can get a more elegant solution put up. A user's rank will no longer show up when the screen is phone sized. I know it sort of sucks, but this isn't forever and it keeps users from being locked out of editing/quoting in the meantime.

tfw it was forever

Ability to disable alarm from being quoted by person who is in your ignore list. Ability to not mark threads as unread if only unread posts are written by one's who are in your ignore list. Add toggle to turn it on/off.

Also how can I be notified when someone posts in topics I created?

Update:

The tech stack for v3 is changing. It will be a headless, API driven Laravel back-end and an Angular 10/11 front-end (depending on if they update it in a month or so).

What is done:

1. Registration endpoint (excluding email auth)
2. Login endpoint
3. Logout endpoint

Next things I'll target:

1. Email authentication / confirmation
2. Change password
3. Forgot password

It's looking like the best way for me to go about this is to build out the services FIRST and use Insomnia as my "browser" before I even think about working with the front-end. More updates soon. Maybe.

Cheat · August 13, 2020, 06:07:18 PM

Update: change password route is finished.

Figured out how to auto-save tokens into the Insomnia environment variables. Makes things a lot easier to work with.

Cheat · August 14, 2020, 08:25:36 PM

Email auth / verification is done from the API side. Work will need to be done once I have a front-end to link to via the email (right now it just sends the code).

Cheat · August 16, 2020, 04:42:06 PM

Change email service is finished, which was actually more challenging than I thought, since the site needs to keep BOTH emails until you've verified the new one (so you don't get locked out).

I'm 1/3 through password / account recovery, which is another medium-sized service.

Coming back from a loooooong break and I'm picking up kinda where I left off. Laravel has moved on to newer and better versions, so I restarted the back-end service API and am in the process of getting everything moved over.

Front-end is being worked on at the same time and a lot of my work on that was also migrated over. Angular is super strict / annoying for a beginner to SPAs, but it's honestly been super fun being able to work on my own stuff again.

I have lots of ideas (like eventually connecting the site to the Fediverse or having automated democratic elections for local moderators), but rather than try to wait for everything to be ready, my new plan is to get the basics (auth, bare-bones user stuff like pw / email resets, thread creation, replies, post editing, etc.) and then add in the missing pieces as I go. This will mean the 3.0 site will launch without stuff like PMs, Coup, administrator tools, private groups, etc. BUT it will also mean users can be hands-on ASAP.

The first step of this I'm about to do right now. User registration will be switched off and this site will be deprecated. When I get the 3.0 site up, it will run alongside this one for as long as it needs to for the critical features to be worked out.

I fully appreciate that a lot of you won't migrate over to the new site. Those that do, who registered before 2024, will be given some extra special perks and the "Original" role. I plan to import all posts and threads apart from Anarchy to the new place eventually too.

I am surprised nobody done a joke about a "Print" button being an essential feature that should be added ASAP yet.

No cap: I planned to have that be the inventory item all the old school users get that unlocks the “Original” role if they register.

Quick update: took a couple week break from working on the site to stand up my personal website to try to get more side-gigs. It had the added benefit of making me slightly better at Angular so there's that.

Authentication system is entirely setup now (front and back) with the exception of password recovery, password changing, and email changing.

I guess I never announced this, but registration requires an invitation. The idea is that users can invite other users (which is the only way you can create an account). Users who are new (30 days or less) who get moderated will have an upward effect to the user who invited them. They will likely rank down and will have all their invites removed and will not be able to create a new invitation for x days (thinking probably a 2 week ban on this).

On the flipside, the carrot is that there will be quests / rare items like nameplates and special ranks / roles dedicated to getting x number of new users registered and in good standing for 30 days. Ex: I'm thinking of making a role like "Paragon" or something that, among other things, requires recruiting 5 people (and anyone who gets moderated within 30 days subtracts from that total).

Basically: recruitment will be baked into the entire system and incentivized.

Recruitment baked into the system, who could've guessed haha

But seriously Cheat, smart design and good incentive. You should have a $5.00 reward for the first person to invite someone else
