100.000 submissions!!
(This newspost contains reaching 100.000 submissions, the deactivation of the auction archive option & information about the upcoming BIG update. tl:dr at the bottom of the post)
Can you believe it? We for sure can't! We've reached the milestone of 100.000 submissions of trades and auctions!
100.000... if we would get 1 gM for every submissions, we could have bought the positivity day hair or even the wednesday comp shoes! Or in Sieena's case, he would have bought 100.000 Star Wars sticks.
This wasn't possible without every single one of you! In total 978 users have send submissions to goSupertools. That's on average 100 per user! Thank you all for taking the time. Thank you all for providing information and protecting each other with this information. Thank you all for supporting us. Really, thank you!
The archived auctions option was a temporary solution when we switched from the old (fetching) to the new (submitting) system. The reason for switching the systems has been explained in the november updates.
It was always meant as a temporary solution to help transition to the new system. Now that the new system is running well and that the database size is growing fast, it is time to say goodbye to the archived auctions. The option to see archived auctions will disappear on APRIL 20!
If you've been keeping up with our forum- and/or newsposts, you may have already seen us referring to an upcoming update. For the past months, our team has worked on redeveloping and further developing goSupertools. We're currently getting close to the testing phase, but before we start testing, we want to update you, so we can prepare and hype together!
What to expect of the process?
We're getting close to the testing phase. The testing will be done within our own team. When testing is complete (which we don't have a time indication for), we will start implementing the updates and further inform you of the actual specifics. To implement the update, goSupertools will be down for a day. We will communicate the date of the implementation in advance.
Developer talk
Our star developer (and big boss) Sieena is working on a 'developer talk'. He's been working on the update for months now and will share his process, the issues and the solutions with you. If you're interested, keep an eye on our newsposts section on the frontpage!
So... what are you updating?
Well... we can't share all the updates with you just yet. However, what we can promise is this: the performance of goSupertools will improve greatly, expect a complete overhaul of the shops and the frontpage is getting a new look!
Aah! we are very excited and hopefully you as well! Keep an eye out for more information in the weeks to come!
