Hello, dear friends! I'm Matchu (they/she), the coder-person of Dress
|
|
to Impress! Here's a little note about like… why the site is stuck
|
|
where it is rn, and what we're thinking of doing about that.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I started building DTI 2020 back when I was healthier, and was pretty
|
|
sure I could finish it all up and transfer everything to the new site
|
|
by the end of the year. The name made sense at the time! 😅 But, well,
|
|
now I'm too sick too often to finish 😖 (Long covid? It's hard to
|
|
say.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I'm happy we have a site that's much better on phones and works with
|
|
the new HTML5 systems! But Classic DTI still has a lot of the
|
|
essential item trading features and a few other nice things… so we're
|
|
kinda just stuck with the two sites for now, I think 😬 We won't be
|
|
making any improvements to Classic DTI anymore (changing it is a REAL
|
|
pain), but we also won't turn it off until the day it's no longer
|
|
needed, and that's… very far from today.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For now, our technical focus is making sure all Neopets customization
|
|
data is archived, in case Neopets servers become spottier or go
|
|
offline. (We see the way the wind is blowing with the NFT Neopets
|
|
project, so we want to be ready if the executives shut down
|
|
Neopets.com, just in case.) And we have a small support team keeping
|
|
an eye on things—thank you Chips and Dice for all your help!!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
But yeah, we're open to having more hands help finish DTI 2020! If you
|
|
have practice with React/Node apps, and are eager to spelunk into a
|
|
codebase that was unfortunately never really built for a team, please
|
|
send me a note at{" "}
|
|
<a href="mailto:matchu@openneo.net">matchu@openneo.net</a> and I'd
|
|
love to talk about it! 💜 I'm not ready to offer the kind of hands-on
|
|
support I normally would, so it's not really a fair ask on my part—but
|
|
I know there's lots of folks who would be grateful, if it's something
|
|
you can do.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the meantime, mostly just… thanks to everyone for being so kind to
|
|
me over these, gosh, 12 years now. The Neopets community is where I
|
|
grew up, and I'll do my best to help keep it alive in the coming
|
|
decades, whatever form it may take. We deserve that.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Best wishes in all things, Neopians 💖
|
|
<br />—

P.S. I've dropped our little feedback form at the bottom of the page

here too, so you can let me know if like… anything in here sounds
|
|
especially right or wrong. I want to make sure I'm doing right by you,

as best I can!
