Fall Update on the Web
3/9/2023
As you can see, today I launched an update to the web, below I list the important things you should know about the update:
- I threw Wordpress in the trash because it was so limited and I created a website in ASP.NET Core from scratch. This meant changing the website to professional hosting (not one dedicated to blogs).
- I have adapted the website to the database format of deals + free + bundles + subscriptions, but I want to emphasize that it will take months to polish the database because I have not copied data from GGdeals or isthereanydeal, it is created from scratch.
- I will make distinctions between the game platforms treating them independently, this means that if for example, you want to know the minimum price of Cyberpunk 2077 for Steam, they will no longer overlap with the results of GOG and Humble Store as happens in GGdeals and isthereanydeal:
- From now on the website is automatically multilingual although at the moment only in English and Spanish, I still have sections of the web to add support and in the future I will put the files to translate into other languages.
- I have opened a new project on Github with the source code of the web (does not include the database), as long as I am the head of this project, the code will be open.
- I still have a lot of work to do, on my list of priority-pending things I have: add support to the rest of the stores, recover the feeds to announce the news on social networks (Discord, Telegram, Twitter and Steam), enable a server to send emails, user registration and wishlist. Until Steam's fall sales end, I don't plan to implement historial low email notifications.
