| xenosaga 04/29/24 11:24:13 AM #75 | Ah yeah can def become a messy hassle that's for sure, I'm thinking the site has few enough pages that it shouldn't get too bad though. Going to make sure everything has a url and loads correctly from it (have a few issues on the current version to address.)
And slight update to the URLs, can now access the boards from just b8.wtf. Figured we've got that nice short url why make it twice as long by adding 'train' to it. train.b8.wtf will still work and is where I'll test ui changes out before they go live --- thcam ruz elliw red - https://b8.wtf/b |

| xenosaga 04/29/24 10:48:27 AM #73 | To be honest I'm probably going to stick to the SPA approach. It's what I usually work with and kind of approaching this project as a 'recreate my first coding project to relax and get back to enjoying coding' type of thing in addition to the wanting to make a fallback in case this place shuts down.
I'm reworking the screen loading on my cleanup pass so it should pretty much feel like a very fast static HTML site. The URL and history also update with every link so it avoids some of those SPA annoyances. --- thcam ruz elliw red - https://train.b8.wtf/b |

It does a lot of updating the screen without reloading the entire page, so that could be it. Might need to add in some sort of hold while it loads all the required info before swapping if it's looking too off. --- thcam ruz elliw red |

Barebones test site is up! Going with b8.wtf for now but not committed to it. Working on and testing out changes live so may see some broken screens as I work on things, a classic board8.com experience! Hoping to get that code committed tonight or early this week. If I get too hung up on cleaning up before committing it I'll just send you the current version so you can get a look at it. Implemented: -Registration/Login -Posting topics/messages -Basic API setup -Update url routes (Behind the scenes is a bit of a mess, but works for now!) -Text formatting (b, i, s, u) -User Profile -Message Detail screen ToDo, in aprox order I'm aiming to get to them: -Cleanup/1st version -Middle click to open links -Editing messages -Text formatting (links, images) -Themes/Dark Mode -User Preferences Screen -User Pinging -Polls -Mobile view -Marking messages -Mafia bots --- thcam ruz elliw red |

Adding 'getting codebase ready for people to work on' to the list, probably about halfway there on that. Want to do some cleanup and reorganizing before putting it out there, my first pass at a project is usually a borderline stream-of-conscious mess that I go and give a cleanup pass to eventually --- thcam ruz elliw red |

I love this idea Thanks! Yeah, hoping it stays a fun little backup plan we don't actually need to migrate to. Don't think I'll be trying to turn it into an active site worth migrating to unless Fandom really starts to tear this place down. XIII_Rocks posted... That is a vintage screenshot Maximum vintage! BlueCrystalTear posted... As a former Mafia player, it would be really, REALLY sweet to have a bot that counts votals, so if we posted ##votals, we'd get the bot to post votals. Grim (GMUN) said this kind of thing was possible when I asked her, but sadly I never got around to figuring out how to run something like that and later stopped playing Mafia. The ## tag denotes actions, including votes and unvotes, so if the bot could search for "##vote:" and "##unvote" when it's on its own line, that would be the best starting point. We would have to require that votes/unvotes were on their own line and everyone would need to state somebody's full username, but that's about it. Thanks for the info, Mafia is something I've never quite got. Should be able to build a few features that help out with that right into the site. redrocket posted... Not much to add at this point beyond that I love that you are doing this. Johnbobb posted... Project 8 was basically Tomy Hawk's response to the Skate series making more realistic skating games, only it didn't capture the more realistic feel of Skate as well and lost its own identity along the way Ah yeah, can definitely see that unpolished Skate influence. I only ever played the demo but I got a night's worth of fun out of the broken physics + broken bone counting system. --- thcam ruz elliw red |

Starting up on this as a mix of part fun project and part possible future backup-plan in case this place ever gets shut down. For the initial design I'm going to be sticking mostly to the classic look and features and evolve it from there, if anyone has screenshots of the forums from the ~2003-06(?) era those would be helpful to have! Especially if you have any of things like profiles or the posting screen, can't remember quite what those looked like. Aiming for it to be a little bit more feature rich with things like a classic/mobile layout for phones, API access for making comment bots, and whatever other ideas people may have (ex I know Mafia is popular, are there any built in forum features that would help out with those games?) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a388be37.png One hopefully nostalgia inducing screenshot for now! Still pretty much just getting started with it but once it's a bit more than a mostly empty project I'll set up a git for it and set up a test site on boardEight.com. --- thcam ruz elliw red - https://b8.wtf |
