January Updates to TARDIS Guide

Happy New Year!

January 2024 has been a big month for TARDIS Guide!

I have been spreading the word some more about the site (I was originally waiting for my new logo before promoting the site, but decided to just go for it) and we have gone from 185 members to a huge 800! Thank you so much to all my new members and new patrons.

Big updates

I launched a Discord server! Come and join us!

The Time-Space Randomiser has been soft launched (as in, launched without a fanfare) as it’s not completely finished, but go and have a play!

I totally replaced the social share images – these are a lot nicer now, and easier for me to manage.

I have some more BIG updates coming soon, but for now I’ve done these smaller updates:

Some small updates

The members page now shows a cute monster avatar for those that have not yet uploaded one. Upload an avatar please, it’s more fun!

The server was getting hammered when I posted links on Reddit so I upgraded it.

There is a new setting to choose if you’d like to receive our email newsletter, which is coming soon!

Achievements have been disabled while I optimise and improve them. Don’t worry, you’ll get all the achievements retroactively when it comes back!

I’ve changed how ratings are displayed – they no longer show the weighted, adjusted rank on the listing page because it was confusing people. I do still use the weighted rank to order them though. This has also caused some confusion – it seems I cannot win – so I’m working on a visual explanation for this!

Added some optimisations which should drastically improve page speed.

Added the ability to customise the site & the homepage a bit, way more options coming soon.

Tweaked profile pages to show recent activity and “my next story”.

Surfaced more data about the stories that we store – production code, number of UK viewers, Appreciation Index, runtime.
