Amare Games Database work

I've been working on the player dashboard section of the website recently. For a long time, this was a section that wouldn't be added until phase two or three, as I was focusing on the game and developer profile submission, but I think adding it now really boosts the site's usability at the beginning.

I've done work in all areas of the website, but this is the one that's closest to being finished. Lots of additions have been made

Library with a range of play statuses that you can set games to.

Tabs so you can see your games with different statuses

Followed Developers section

Pagination for both sections

Search in both sections

Working on the Developer section of the dashboard now.

Have a snom *throws snom* (c c <)

Normally, graphite would answer your asks, but, she is currently unable to move due to the organic you gave her sleeping on her lap. She is thankful however.

On the other hand, I am not. More work for poor old Nero Pearl, as if I wasn't busy enough.

Developer Page WIP

Been working on the Developers page for the website the last few days when I have time. A few things I'd like to fix around accessibility and some extra features but otherwise it's going well Responsive design in action

Collabs and Contributions WIP

I've been working on a feature for the website that allows developers to be listed as collaborators/contributors on projects and not just the main developer. This will allow people to have games they worked on in different ways show up on their developer profile. Still some UI work to do as I want it to list the position as well but it's getting there.

June Update and 1000 Followers!

Hey everyone! I'm back with some new screenshots! So what has happened since the last update?

I decided to rebuild the website in a more stable framework and move away from WordPress. There was a range of reasons for this from performance and accessibility to authentication and security but I just felt like it was the right move for stability and scale.

Some of you may remember I was working on a developer portal. Well this is what it is but it's just become the main website now :joy:

So! What have I done

Started the rebuild of the website in Next.js 13

Created a new database schema for the website.

Set up Authentication

Linked Authentication and the website database

Made progress on responsive navbar design. (Pictures below)

Implemented a dark and light mode.

Next steps

Create new Developer Submission form for new entries.

Migrate already received data.

Look into S3(AWS) Image management.

Get the modes working 100% with Server Side rendering.

Sorry for the technical speak. Mainly I have done a lot of the initial set up behind the scenes and are now working on forms. Forms are interesting because it's not as simple as just add an input and save the data. There is a lot of validation and security issues that need to be looked at to keep everyone on the website safe. So that is my next be hurdle.

Progress Pictures (The fun stuff)

Note - These are subject to change such as colour combinations if they do not met accessibility requirements.

Yes the website will have a dark and light mode Full NavBar

Mobile Navbar

Sign in and Sign up

User Navbar Flyout

So that's all the visual updates for now! I will keep plugging away at the backend stuff for a while which means their wont be a ton of visual updates for a while but progress is being made. Also thank you for 1000 Followers. It has been a really long journey to even get this far. So thank you to those that have been on the journey with me. I look forward to showing you folks some more substantial updates in the coming months.
