What has Phade been up to?

Post by Phade » Mon Jul 14, 2025 7:34 pm

Hey Everyone!

I’ve decided to start a thread of just the things I have been working on lately so that you know that things are being worked on. 🙂 It also gives me motivation to keep working on things because I will need to post them here. 😁

Here are some of the things I have done so far this year:
  • Created a rough draft of new site rebuild functionality (42 pages of mostly bulleted lists)
    • Listed MVP phase 1 requirements for initial launch
    • Listed phase 2 immediate improvements
    • Detailed new functionality
    • Populate user and video entries from YouTube
    • Autodetect anime and music in AMVs
    • AMV event coordination
    • Entry normalization tools
    • Autodetect AMV strobing/flashing
    • Autodetect AMV watermarks/subtitles
    • Davinci Resolve AMV tools
  • Created list of roles and responsibilities for the site
    • Evaluation of frontend vs backend visibility
    • Evaluation of technical vs non-technical skillsets
    • Specific tasks each will be responsible for
    • Prioritized recruitment needs for each position
  • Created a Jira board for tracking tasks
    • Enumerated 222 tasks that need to be done
  • Created a Confluence board for documentation
    • Created sections for frontend, backend, and general administration
    • Transferred rough draft documentation to each section
  • Created and tested an automatic YouTube video entry transfer tool
  • Created and presented a speech to Momocon all about the org’s push for improvement and a museum of AMV historical artifacts
  • Created and replied to Discord discussions in the Dev Channels (semi-private)

Next up (in no order):
  • Document the new site database schema
  • Enumerate development processes
  • Finalize development priorities
  • Create a distributable development environment
  • Establish communications standards (Discord, forum, shared documentation, code standards, etc.)
  • Create a volunteer signup form
