Piczel October 1st Update
Added 2017-10-01 16:40:44 +0000 UTCHello again everyone -
Patrons have been charged, and codes have been sent to your patreon emails - please check and confirm you got yours, if anyone is missing theirs, please let me know and I'll get you fixed up.
September has been busy, with one dev on vacation for a while, we've been mostly working on Server Side Rendering, which will greatly improve site performance and responsiveness, as well as provide proper metatags for pages, for example linking a stream with the normal /watch/username URL will give a stream preview, linking a gallery page will include a preview of the image linked, etc.
Progress has been good on this front, and we're hoping to have SSR pushed live sometime this month.
After that, our goals for the short term are:
1. New chat UI - same base chat, but it'll look a lot nicer!
2. Piczel Messaging - similar to FA's notes, but hopefully will look quite a bit nicer :)
3. Comments and other gallery improvements
4. Gallery home page rework - recent/popular/featured all on one page
Additionally, some users have been having trouble streaming reliably to our main server (piczel.tv) so we have created a new ingest server to stream to. If you have trouble streaming reliably to piczel.tv, please replace your stream URL with rtmp://ingest1.piczel.tv:1935/live - this server is located in the netherlands as opposed to our main server, located in NYC.
We are still planning on the art contest and raffle, announcement post should happen sometime this month, hopefully sooner rather than later :)
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask (either on this post, or make your own, whatever works for you)
