Moving the DB and the backend to my own server as the service I was using has been more painful than anything, we'll be offline for a while (not like that wasn't the case already)
The app should be in maintenance but please avoid making changes to avoid dataloss.

Attempting to be reasonable and prepare to hype myself up
Hey all,
Long break again, work has been tight deadlines upon tight deadlines.
It has slowed down now and I was able to work on a few bugs (the broken stack was awkward) as well as some tickets that were in my list for a w h i l e.
Happy sunday, new version released today! You can now create worlds! They're very primitive right now but I'll add more feature to them as I go. Read (a little) more here: ko-fi.com/post/Organiz...

If you encounter any issues, as per usual you can contact me by email: contact@charsh.app
or you can join the charsh discord here: discord.gg/WhV6p4eN
Heya! Registrations are open, come break my app so I can build it better and grow stronger (and probably not cry!) 🫶
Also some details on the `worlds` feature:

If this pops on your dashboard and you're wondering "wtf is charsh", it's a character reference sheet tool!
Screenshot of Charsh's login screeen, now featuring a bright green sidebar with text and an illustration. The text reads "Welcome to Charsh. Your oever-engineered character refence sheet", with sparkles for decor. The illustration is a digital sketch of two characters. One is looking over the other's shoulder with a wide grin, teasingly asking "Your password is 'badGuyuch1ha68'?". The other is visibly annoyed and trying to hide his face behind his phone. Or the way around.
Tried to spiff up the login screen last week because it felt empty and decided I should throw in sketches/ illustrations here and there. Ideally I'd love to have my d*ckhead characters judge you for entering your password wrong too many times.
Heya! Been working on Charsh in the way of getting back into drawing so I have something to show for the upcoming features. So far 4 fullbody refs, 2 more to go !
Might work on the front-end UI for worlds today, who knows!
But it's feeling like I want to draw to actually have something to showcase ahah
Heya! Just done writing this up and fixing a tiny error from, yknow, deploying to prod a thursday at 8PM
Anyway as I said on the hellsite:
✨New release, new Ko-fi post! Check it out if your got time, thank you all for your patience🙌
ko-fi.com/post/New-Ver...
Just put the new version of charsh up online! I'll post more of an announcement ~later~ but for now, if you had an account you can reset your password and have a go at it !
Heya!
Newest ko-fi update has TLDR about what's going on, check it out here:
ko-fi.com/post/The-rew...
The bad news is that I spent about 4 days looking for the line `stripDebug = true;`
The good news is that we have a working staging deploy babeeeeeeh B))))))
A screenshot of Charsh's back-office. Page title: "Feedback", subtitle: "User-submitted feedback lives here", feedback card: "beep@boop.bap: Hey dingus your website is absolutely fucking borked, fix it or I'll call my mom" with a button "Escalate into an issue"
A page from Charsh containing the following text: Submit bug / Feedback. Something weird happen? A form isn't clear? Or got any ideas for improvements? You can tell me what happened or what you think here. When submitting a bug, if you can, include the time at which the incident happened and the page where it took place. E-mail: beep@boop.bap Content Please describe your feedback or the bug you ran into: Hey dingus your website is absolutely fucking borked, fix it or I'll call my mom
56minutes (from moment docker started) API + View + Controller speedrun for feedback (the frontend and the model functions were already done) 🛹
a screen shot of the Charsh home screen. At the top in a green bad with bold, black text that says "Welcome to Charsh" (the default admin message). At the bottom is a bright indigo rectangle containing white text that say "UNDER MAINTENANCE: Hey! I'm working on things in the background. To prevent any data loss or extreme frustration, the app has been placed under maintenance. Check socials or the admin message for more info"
You'll be glad to know you will now get BLASTED by my apparently favorite color scheme when I have an admin message (top) or am putting the app under maintenance (bottom) :]
Taking the time to make the boring UI (login, register, ...) look not as... rushed as I left them
And making sure you can actually submit bugs and feedback!
Still doing "a few more tweaks", 12 days after
The user admin dashboard is complete! A few more tweaks to prevent my image storage from getting blasted and I'll make a test migration in prod
Jokes aside, that's all the migration stuff done! I'll start on the admin board, enough that I can monitor usage and new accounts and ... and it's not looking too bad ??
- standing in front of the monitor to hide the only ~30 lines of code it took -
I was going to be lazy and not do it, but I have also created a migration script for existing characters links so you don't have to set them up again.
You're welcome
Working on a script to import existing user data into the new database! 🫶🫡
All caught up! As per usual I'm available if needed, sending feedback directly through charsh.app is the fastest way to reach me until I get my head back into the game, cheers ✨
Notice: closing registrations on the huuuh.. prototype ? I can't really call it a beta anymore ahah.
Will get through the last batch of requests that date all the way back to November 🤡 Expect an e-mail soon if it's you!
Hey there! A quick, general tour of the app. I don't think I shared the height-chart, drag n drop, stack version switch and link page :)
I recorded this in the wrong format so here it is on Youtube instead!

Thank you so much! It's been going great and I've been able to start working on Charsh again, little by little. I hope I get to share some progress soon ! :]
As usual thanks for your patience! I needed that break, I can feel the itch to work on this project come back now that I have a sustainable income (if I make it past the ṭrial period that is)
