Crazy Week Day 3 Report and incoming silence
Added 2025-02-12 22:33:27 +0000 UTCToday, significant progress was made on the monitoring component; the backbone is taking real shape, but there are still many minor compatibility issues across both modes (as they are very different and must report to the same thing, which needs to understand both).
There is still nothing to showcase in the UI yet. A lot of yesterday's work was thrown out today, and there is already a sense of regret about that decision, so something in the middle will end up being released.
The good news is that Videochat Extension will now be able to store past connections in the page's temporary memory, allowing the new UI to switch between historical connections, so not only the last one will be shown. Additionally, support for general non-Omegle call platforms like Discord has been greatly improved, although it should be obvious that it won't reveal people's IPs.
Features like taking local notes about IPs should be much easier to build on top of this new backbone, and distant functionalities like a local database should also be much simpler. Step by step.
Announcing silence.
The monitoring backbone is foundational and somewhat tedious, and it currently blocks work on any other features. As a result, there will be no reports for the next several days until the backbone is actually completed. The work is active, and the result is not far away, but reporting small steps on the same thing each day is not the way I wanted Crazy Week to be. Expect news soon.
