Hello all.. been gone for a while, but I've been doing some work the past few months on the server browser: Quake Server Browser
Unfortunately, not much changed on the front end. I've updated some styles, new font, made the data a bit more pleasing to look at... The lobby actually remembers your name now, and notifies you in the tab if someone's trying to poke at you to get you on a server.
The real change is the back end, I've moved everything off of PHP, and now the entire site runs off node.js . This means easier code maintenance, server maintenance, and less server resources (no more apache! yay!) Hopefully faster responses too.
I'm also hosting the entire site on github, which means I'm open to anyone making modifications to the site:
https://github.com/efess/servers.quakeone.com
Unfortunately, this update won't address the slow loading of some pages. The database has grown in the past few years, some of the queries will need to be further optimized to account for the amount of data collected. This will be my next project, for another day though...
of course, please let me know if anything's broke..
