Marco's Update #4 - March 2021
Slight Delays, Updates and... Expansions?
Music Server Charts
Most important things first, there are some slight delays for the open beta of MSC, but I am still aiming to release it this week. More specifically... April 3rd.
Keep in mind that this date is not 100% confirmed yet and there may potentially be further delays depending on bugs that appear. I will post more updates either tomorrow or on Friday.
Why have there been delays?
Primary reason is probably procrastination and a late decision to restructure and redesign the website. I've also decided to take the opportunity to learn React, which is what ended up pushing the release date over the deadline I gave back in January.
Community Updates
Top.gg announced earlier this month that the platform will at some point in the future™️ (please don't ask me when - I literally don't know) support Guilded bots.
What's Guilded?
I guess you could call it a competitor to Discord. However, Guilded seems to have a very heavy focus on Gaming, probably more than Discord ever did. It has a lot of nice features, including built-in calendars, forums, scheduling tools and probably all features of Discord Nitro for free.
In order to test it out a bit further, I've decided to open up my own Guilded server at https://guilded.gg/mrcommunity.
The main hub for the community remains on Discord and I currently do not have plans for Guilded-focused projects.
Certain projects could potentially support Guilded in the future, but that highly depends on how Guilded (and it's API) will evolve.
What's next?
This month will still be focused on getting the MSC Open Beta out there and probably a decent amount of bugfixing. Beyond that, probably not much in April to be honest. I will have finals coming up in early May so most of the second half of the month will probably be spent on that.
