    Hey everone,

    There's sneak peek on what's going on.
    - Recreating leaderboard system in to the WynnPedia.

    Also, please note that this is still hard work in progress.

    Hey hey everyone,

    Another progress peak here.

    Still working consistently on WynnPedia.

    Currently, I'm in process of recreating leaderboard page in to my app.

    Functions:
    - As official leaderboard page, you can view tables searched by different sections.
    - I've decided to not change a layout since, it's working very well in my opinion.
    - As you would expect, you can "jump" to profile page by clicking on player row in the table.

    This looks like a really neat project!
    Have you thought about open-sourcing it so that people can try it out and provide better feedback, and even contribute to its development themselves if they are interested?
    Whilst I appreciate you're still in an development phase, there is clearly some interest here for the app even early on! Just my two cents.

    Also, if you're at all interested in the forum signatures thing, this is how I'd suggest doing it:
    • Firstly you'll need a server - let's call it wynn.pedia for now
    • Someone goes to their profile on the WynnPedia app and clicks the "copy forum signature" button, which adds to their clipboard the text "[ IMG ]https://wynn.pedia/profiles.php?name=user_name[ /IMG ]"
    • Once this is added to their forum signature, the first time they look at it, the server will get a request in the profiles.php script (I'm just assuming you'd use PHP as an example, feel free to write it in any programming language) and generates an image based on the requested player's statistics at the time - just like you'd do in the WynnPedia app. There are plenty of tools out there designed to do this for you - ImageMagick is one that comes to mind. This image could then be saved to https://wynn.pedia/profiles/user_name.png and the server would respond with the image data contained there.
    • Then, every future time that someone looks at the user's profile, their computer requests https://wynn.pedia/profiles.php?name=user_name once again - only, this time, the server sees that an image already exists at https://wynn.pedia/profiles/user_name.png and simply sends this instead of re-generating it.
    • Finally, every day, or week, or however long, the server can automatically go through every user in the https://wynn.pedia/profiles folder and re-generate their images so they're up-to-date.
    That isn't to say that there aren't a million other ways to do it, just making a suggestion in case you're interested in pursuing it (which you totally don't have to - no pressure!)

    Lmk if you have any questions :saltedhappy:

    Hey there,

    that's sounds like a cool setup for that problematic.

    However, I just had and still have content with higher priority. But this might be fine feature to add in the future.

    Regarding the open-sourcing. Well yeah, I have WynnPedia public in my GitHub, but in the process of development I'm not sharing it right away. If someone will find it (which I suppose isn't that hard, they can browse it). But from this point of the development, I'm not interested in sharing instantly.

    Also, thank you for the feedback, I'm glad people like it. I just found this as a good way to stick with my passion and it might help me find first contract for my carrier in dev way.

    And as mentioned several times in my posts in this thread, I'm looking forward to any content ideas which might be thinked of.

    Adjusted TL:DR. (GitHub version)
    I'm planning to share explicitly GitHub version where you can try out the app.
    - Repository is public, but currently not shared on purpose. (Ex. still missing custom controls out of dev. mode from Electron)

    Why WynnPedia?

    After being a part of the Wynncraft community for over 7 years, I wanted to give back by creating a tool that players like me would find invaluable. WynnPedia is also a personal learning project, aimed at sharpening my skills in application development while providing value to the community.

    Feedback & Contribution

    Your feedback is invaluable! Whether you’re reporting a bug, suggesting a feature, or just sharing your thoughts, I’d love to hear from you.

    ⚠️ Disclaimer

    WynnPedia is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wynncraft. All official assets used are used only for dev. stage and will be replaced with custom-designed assets in the final release. I'm looking for designer who can provide me with requested assests based on my requests.

    ❤️ Special Thanks

    A huge thank you to the Wynncraft community for inspiring this project and for the resources and feedback that make WynnPedia possible. This is a labor of love for a game and community that means so much to me.

    Hey guys,

    In previous message I've added spoiler showcase of current state of the app.

    I've finished leaderboard section already last week, unfortunately I had different things to solve immediately.


    So, today's posts are focused on adjusting readme and showcase of the development.

    Thank you for understanding, and keeping eye on this project.

    ACHIEVEMENTS

    Hey guys, I've managed to "finish" achievement page.
    - Just a overview of milestone what I've considered interesting to see.

    Currently, there's 24 achievments, from categories: COMBAT LVL, TOTAL LVL, QUESTS and PROFS

    If you would have ideas, what can be added to achievements, let me know here.

    As an aspiring developer, you are coding a heck of a great job so far! I don't know why I had to make that pun, but whatever.

    Anyways, this looks amazing! I see you also added achievements, and well - I see you are about to get an achievement, for doing a great job.

    I know I'm kinda flattering at the moment, but keep at it. I'm not very good at website developing nor design atm, but I'll get there one day.

    Keep it up! Also don't go too hard on yourself, especially for a project you wanna do. Of course, I wouldn't put a release date until the project is fully working, but if you be a bit broad with such (not intending to rush, just wanted to give advice), especially if its "Qx <year>", that's fine. GTA 6 was announced in 2023 or something and isn't gonna release til sometime in 2025, but all I can say? Take your time, and take breaks where needed. If its to associate with nature, or whatever you like doing, feel free to do such.

    You know what been lacking in every wynncraft search tool including wynncraft websit, wynndata(outdated), discord bots and other wynn-related website?
    A REAL crafting ingredients searching tool. At the moment, if your search an ingredient that drop in world event the game just tell you the mobs that it drop or straight up doesn't tell you how you could get it, and you have to go through the trouble of looking into the wiki. ALSO you can't event search ing that increase/decrease effective other than that outdated fandom wiki page, all the 2.1 ings are not updated to the wiki nor wynncraft website itself. Would love to see ing that decrease skill point requirement as well ofc this there no such option for sorting on wynncraft website.
    Therefore, a ingredients searching tool with accurate information on where to get it and proper sorting tool for effectiveness and decrease skill point requirement would be very cool imo. It also fit more for being a desktop application to search it whenever u need it you know?

    Hello, can you be more specific or try to explain it in different way?
    Since from what I know, the search tool (Wynn website) provide you with information where to get it.

    What is meant with effectivity?
