Server upgrade

I'll be upgrading FrontierNav's server this week. Everything should go smoothly as there's a multi-step process. However, it's been a while since the last upgrade so there may be some issues. Let me know if anything isn't working as expected.

In case you're wondering, the upgrade is to support more features and traffic....

Plans for 2023

It's a new year, so I thought I'd make some room here to share some of the larger pieces I'm working on or planning to some time this year, in no particular order. I'll get into the details of each idea once I start working on them.

This doesn't include improving existing features like maps and tables which is always on...

Generating 360° Video Game Panoramas

Drag and Drop Files

You can now upload files to data tables using drag and drop.

Interface Cleanup

I haven't shared any screenshots in the previous weeklies, so here's some showing the improvements to the "shell", the stuff around the content like navigation, borders and headings.

Personal Map Notes

You can now add personal notes anywhere on a map. Useful for keeping track of places you might want to recall later.

Video Embed Support

Discussions and Guides can now embed videos from YouTube, Twitch and other video services. This is a step towards embedding other content like Interactive Maps.

Profile Customisation

Similar to game pages, user profiles now have a customisable theme. The "About" section at the top is also customisable with Markdown to display and link whatever you want (as long as it's plain text and emoji).

Themed Game Pages

Following on from the design overhaul, game pages now have a coloured tint to fit with their branding.

Latest Games and Discussions

You can now find the latest games and discussions on the homepage.

Visual Design Cleanup

As mentioned in last week's weekly, I've tweaked FrontierNav's visual design to be more consistent across the board. It's easy for things to get messy as I'm adding more features so it's worth realigning everything now and then.

One of the additional things I tried to do is give the game-specific pages a bit more "soul"...

✅ [FrontierNav] Moved save/complete/share controls from the bottom to the toolbar so you can access it more easily.

✅ [FrontierNav] On mobile, the sidebar now starts collapsed so that you have a better view of the page.

Added Quick Access Context Menu

Added a context menu to all links so you can easily mark things as complete without needing to click around. 

Critter Calendar for Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Made a Critter Calendar for Animal Crossing: New Horizons so that can you easily find out what to catch in the current hour and keep track.
