New Navbar
A key piece of the ongoing site modernization effort. The navbar changes allow us to support the new wide layout, a notifications system, and even more consoles in the Games panel.
We now support modern screen resolutions! Almost every page on the site has received a slight glow-up ✨
There is still a lot of work to do on this area, but we felt it was finally time to rip the band-aid off. Look forward to continued UX improvements on desktop!
Say goodbye to your Google Sheets and Notepad documents, you can now bookmark games directly on the site 🥳
You'll find the new "Want to Play" button on every game page, and you can access your list from a new navbar link.
You may have heard we're working on some new progression-based features 🤫
While that isn't quite ready yet, you'll start to see some signs of it, with this new component being the most prominent one.
Another part of our progression features rollout, the home page has a new statistic for the most recent mastery! Master a game and get yourself briefly featured on the site's front page.
* Softcore users get more set requests! (dev: Jamiras)
* Junior Dev claims can now be set to an "In Review" status. (dev: Jamiras)
* Claims list pages have prettier game titles. (dev: Jamiras)
* Junior Devs can now add types to their achievements in bulk. (dev: drisc)
* We have a new login screen. (dev: luchaos)
* The top 100 games in the ticket manager now have prettier game titles. (dev: WCopeland)
What's next?:
* We are still working on API restoration and performance upgrades. Several foundational pieces for this shipped with this V4 release, and getting the site stable and API restored remains our #1 priority.
* We're actively working on adding progression features to the site and look forward to sharing more on this very soon.
Awesome job my only complaint is that it's slighty harder to get to your profile quickly now. Clicking profile picture should take you there. I wouldn't mind usernames shown next to it. Other than these it's such a big surprise. GG.
Thank you so much! It's wonderful :) I have a suggestion: a number that show how many games you have in progress would be great, just like the number of mastered games!
