8byte Logs

Stor8 is almost finished! After finishing up on both password protection and tags today, the site is almost at the same level as the first version (with greater ease of access and a cleaner UI). The estimated release date is in two days, so I thought I'd catalogue some of the recent changes.

Stor8 was one of the oldest projects I've done as 8byte. However, the original version was very poor in quality and was missing a lot of important features. This new version uses a lot of the things I've learned in the past year to be a much higher quality product.

With a tentative release yesterday (and a bigger release planned for Tuesday), ArtScuffle is now live to all users! The past week has been a hectic blur of getting everything ready and set up for public use; a lot of my time was dedicated to cleaning up the website, integrating Stripe and Discord API, and making some final changes to the bot.

I originally wrote this post a week ago (exactly!) when I thought this project would be a lot smaller than it ended up being. I ended up coming back and editing this post to more clearly reflect the direction the project went in and elaborate more on the many challenges and bug fixes I've implemented.

With it being Artfight this month, the Beantown crew decided to do a mini version of the game in the server. The main event can be a bit... scary... so it was nice to be able to host a smaller version within just friends. Since it was a Discord server event, I decided to make a Discord bot to help us log our attacks. I'll also be building a small website so people can view all the cool stuff that gets made this month... but that'll be covered in a later post.
