March Check-in

Added 2021-04-08 21:51:47 +0000 UTC

Hi again,

Another quick check-in for what happened through March!

1: Dashboard Fixes

Fixes to the dashboard for DM reminders were released at the start of the month. This restores fully the dashboard functionality for setting reminders for your direct messages

2: Countdown Command

The countdown command was added! This is still a very much beta command, and is available to all Patreons. The countdown command allows you to set reminders that count to a specific time. More to be added to this in the future!

3: Dashboard consistency fixes

The users dropdown for @ing was removed, and replaced with just one for roles, since users can't be @ed from the dropdown. Also, some other segments of text were updated for improved clarity

4: Look shows intervals

The look command now shows intervals too. Not a big change, but a long-awaited one.

5: Large improvements to performance

I am trying to move away from caching through storing data persistently in the database, since it can cause issues further down the line. Also, reducing the number of database queries is a big improvement to the performance of the bot. These efforts were begun in March, and will be a big focus through the coming updates.

That's everything for now! If you have features you want, please add them to the #suggestions channel in the Discord server, and I will get to them when I can :)

Thanks!
