New updates are being developed for the project now that I have
limited myself to about 8hr work days, I'll be able to relax and
find time to improve Jappleng again. What this means is that new
priorities will be taking place. But first, I want to make an
honorary mention that Jappleng has been getting a lot of new
traffic, making it very slow. This is exciting and since I have
more money now to spend, I can invest in better hardware to keep up
with this volunteer project.
Website
Traffic:
In November
we had about 1,200
users in a single month.
In February
we had about 8,100
users.
December
was the big month when Google started indexing all of the site
content, it really made a huge leap in visibility with about
5,600
visitors!
New Immediate
Priority:
- New Content (There is over 1gb of new content to be added to
the site, thousands of new anime and manga to add to the
entertainment section), I need to finish my script to make it
easier (opened right now)
- Will be fixing some bugs that happened after JavaScript was
updated with browser updates recently. Legacy code is no longer
compatible
- Will be optimizing the website and upgrading hardware as
needed
What happens
Afterwards:
Afterwards, I will most likely be adding new features to the
site, making it more interesting and fun to use. A mobile app is
being drafted right now, but it won't be available any time soon
because it will take months to develop. I'll be working closely
with the community to add new content and features that are useful
and relevant for everyone because this project is a “just for fun”
volunteer project meant to be enjoyed by everyone.
Are daily
login rewards coming back?
Daily login rewards will be coming back after I complete the
newsletter system. The newsletter system will be added after the
immediate priority list has been taken care of. When that happens,
an e-mail will be sent to all members to come back and to try
Jappleng again. :)
Is Project
Yokai Trainers still being developed?
I want to finish it but don't have the time at the moment with
so many things to do for Jappleng. I thought this project was dead
but it's alive and well and I may as well give it the love and care
that it deserves. If I work on Yokai Trainers before I finish the
website, then the priority would be out of whack. This project will
resume after the Jappleng mobile app is complete.
That's all the news for today! Please feel free to message me on
my feed or on IMChat.
