LK Weekly: Mork Borg Board Lords
Hey! It's Friday! Time for another weekly! 🦆
Boards
In case you missed Braden's post on Wednesday, we wanted to release Boards on the 1st but ran into some showstoppers--bugs so bad that you can't launch with them. After harnessing the power of open 2021-12-03 18:49:28 +0000 UTC View Post
A quick update on Boards
Hey folks! Just wanted to give a quick update.
The original plan was to launch Boards today, but last night during a rigorous QA session, we discovered a few severe bugs. They are bad enough such that launching today is not an option.
I'm still hacking away at it; we'll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience!

LK Weekly: We don't have a Black Friday Sale but we do have cool updates
Boards is in the Quality Assurance phase. The expected launch is sometime next week if all goes well.
At this point, LegendKeeper Boards, is in the "QA" phase. This means the core features and UX for launch are locked in, and we are just finding and crushing bugs. This QA process took up most of our week. Big thanks to team Hydra...

Progress on Boards: Possible launch end of next week
Braden has now had a chance to better understand the Boards integration and rewritten it to be production-ready. In addition, we now have a UI that more closely matches the overall LegendKeeper experience.
There will be many things we are not happy with when we launch, bu...

Looks like some kind of mass service outage is happening. All LK services are down which is pretty bizarre; I'm unable to get on Discord; anyone else having Discord troubles?
Since all LK services are down (there's quite a few, pretty rare to have them all go out at once), and Discord is not responding, I'm thinking Google Cloud's datacent...

Hey everyone! It's Weekly time!
Boards
Boards are coming along swimmingly. Braden has patched up most of the syncing code, and Justin is examining the UI. The demo you saw last week used the native UI in the whiteboard library. While it's nice, LK must have a nice cohesive feel, so we'll be giving it an interface that matches the L...

2021-10-08 15:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostLegendKeeper 0.9.2.5: Project duplication and re-ordering
Hiyo! Now that Hydra is relatively stable, I'm back on the feature train! Choo-choo! đźš‚.
Project Duplication
Project owners can now make an exact copy of a project, minus all the members. Use this feature to create backups, create a "template project" for future projects, branch your world for different game groups, etc.
LegendKeeper 0.9.2.4
This patch is just 0.9.2.3 minus the bug that crammed my logs with a bunch of phantom errors.
Next up, project duplication and custom reordering, followed by our new example projects.
I'm nearly done with project duplication; it's pretty handy! Thanks for hanging in there; I know patches that bring new features are more fun than stab...

Hey legend squad! Adam, Justin, and I have been thinking a lot about pricing lately. It's a challenging but essential exercise, and we figured who better to ask than all of you?

In the middle of my move, users started reporting issues with LK. I discovered the 0.9.2.3 patch Tuesday last week introduced a severe but quiet bug in the sync system. It was a nas...

Hi folks, this morning I detected a major bug in the system. Still investigating; in the meantime I have rolled back LK's version to 0.9.2.2.
