Hello patrons!
For the past two weeks, I've been developing my first native mobile app! You can read about the entire journey here: https://twitter.com/BraytechHelp/status/1396034792022364161.
I merely wanted pretty Xûr widgets and I ...

This week, I deployed a "Relationships" feature for Clans. It'll tell you who you play with most and common fireteam formations. I've spent more time making it robust than focusing on its design and nothing is set in stone. As you may noticed, I have a spare column. I'm not yet sure what for. 🤔
Additionally, this release sees a past fea...

I just wanted to remind you all of how thankful I am for your support. Life has a lot of ups and downs, like, gosh.
That said, I'm super pleased with some of the updates to Braytech that I've delivered, including some experiments (all of the animated transitions - I haven't done something like that before).
That's all.. Just, thank y...

So, Europa is pretty cool. I'm super tired but I've put this post off for far too long. So here's a summary of what's new and changed;
- An all new Triumphs view to match the changes made to the game
A beautiful Lore view to accompany it - A refreshed Weeklies view
Many modules were made redundant once the darkness swallow...

Hello fronds. I've posted a short new blog about the past week-and-a-bit of development that explains how Sync and Search work and some of the motivations behind them.
Blog is on the Braytech homepage.

I've started a blog at the Braytech home page! I'll mostly be talking about whatever rubbish crosses my mind, so long as it's remotely related to Destiny.
I said it better in my opening post:
Welcome to the first blog post of Braytech. I'll be describing all sorts of things now and into the future and hope that someone somew...

This week at Braytech, I released a substantial upgrade to the Reports view.
It's improved in various ways:
- Stat scatter charts
- Expanded lifetime stats
- More performant
- A background refresh timer bar
- Better on smaller screens

Any meaning to the post title? Nope, I just couldn't think of anything and I like alliteration. Actually, Juice is a really good "bop" by Lizzo.
I procrastinate these posts excessively, because I feel like my patrons are my employers. It's a weird relationship that my mind has fabricated over time, even though the true premise is ...

As alluded to in the prior post, I've delivered an all new Inspect view, accessible directly or through the Collections views.
I'm moderately proud of this one; you can preview perks and how they'll affect the stats of an item, including mods. Mods, people.
It also works on mobile and with touch, which was important...

Hello my loves. Time for another this month in Braytech update.
I've been making lots of little resilience updates to Braytech. All sorts of stuff to prevent and mitigate issues. I've been doing this for two reasons;
- To reduce the number of errors experienced (lol)
- To prepare Braytech (production) for re-enabl...

Time is like sand through the fingers of my open hand. Quote me, just now. I'm always startled by long goes between these development reflection posts, although the holiday break does exacerbate it.

Repost from in-app notification for transparency and posterity. The response has been overwhelming. I can't thank you enough. Numbers are such an abstract concept and even as an amateur programmer, I'm still baffled by any amount greater than fingers on my hand.

A customisable yet responsive design - this isn't something I ever expected to be doing or something I could have done [this well] a year ago.
This one put me through the ringer - I was enthusiastic, I felt like a moron, and finally I felt content with my effort.

Updates prior to and (especially) Shadowkeep launch severely affected the Chalice tool's functionality and I chose to assign priority to more important items such as basic Tooltips functionality.
With a few weeks left in the season, things have quieted down.

Tooltips improvements have landed. Things should now be as accurate as, say, DIM... Which is the best bar to aim for. Nowwww I'm going to return to Maps.

Look, I could copy-paste my change logs but no one would enjoy it, least of all me.
That said, there's been many changes to Braytech since we last congressed.
Many things are completely different either visually, or how they're formed.
We've seen Battle.net go and Steam come.

Shadowkeep is just around the corner. It’s time to tie up loose ends from the past few seasons and optimise old code.

It's been a rough few days down here in Hellas Basin. Bray and I aren't currently on speaking terms, but we're making measurable progress any how (mostly me actually).
I realised early this evening that the reason why I've been feeling so underwhelmed is partly because I'm trying to complete so much at once. What makes it worse ...
