On a separate note, Nexus and I began to lay down a timeline for releases. We want to get the new site out the door soon, but unless we have the in-game client also ready, there's going to be some issues.
I'll be working to get 1.1 out within a week (hopefully). My goal is to have a functional product. It'll be receiving updates as the underlying Support_Preferences receives updates, but in it's current state it works quite well other than some minor bugs.
After that, we'll begin 2.0 which will be the counterpart of the new site update. Here's what we have ready:
Revamped CategorizationInstead of the current boards, add-ons will be put in to much broader boards but also have
tags that are much more specific. Browsing and organizing add-ons should be much more comprehensive.
Full AWS S3 IntegrationThe system uses S3 entirely to deliver content, meaning faster downloads! Yay.
New account systemNow, you'll register your account with your email address and your BLID. After confirming your account, your site username will automatically be the same as your in-game username. Similar to the old RTB, we also will track previously used names as long as when they were used.
New Notification SystemThe old "news" system is being replaced with personalized notifications, so you'll only see stuff relevant to you; change-logs for the add-ons you have, comments on the add-ons you follow, etc.
Trending add-onsYou can find out what's new and hot easier. Popular add-ons are now given some room in the spotlight.
BuildsI intentionally saved this for last. Nexus has been hard at work on a build system, which will allow you to upload, share, and download builds the same way you can with add-ons! Exciting, right? Even better, you can view the build from the site with an interactive viewer.
It's a whole lot of exciting stuff, and it's just our initial release. We have more planned for the future, as always.
Have a happy thanksgiving!
