<MemberLink />

MemberLink is the name that I’ve given a component that will soon cover Braytech. Where ever a Guardian is mentioned, MemberLink will display their emblem icon, display name, platform icon, and if they’re one of the best people in the world, something special.

Clicking a MemberLink activates an overlay, as demonstrated here in its early stage of development, highlighting their characters, accomplishments, clan, and recent activity.

Payment Schedule update!

As this is my first time using Patreon, I’m still learning how to use the tool. I’ve made a change that I think you’ll all prefer: I’ve changed the payment schedule from the per major feature post option to monthly.

This makes it more predictable for both you and I.

Additionally, I no longer need to weigh up how major I consider an update so can continue pushing both small and large updates rapidly.

Thanks for your support, Braytech lovers!

Hello!

When I started working on Old Mate Xur and Braytech as my primary hobby, I never expected to garner this much appreciation and attention and I am forever grateful to my users and fellow devs in this Bungie community. You've inspired me to push myself as a person and a developer and I've achieved so much.

A fellow developer suggested I atleast take Kofi donations for the amount of time and effort I invest - there's been some long nights where I have racked my brain - and I was hesitant b...
