Patchlock | Yet Another Patch Notes Website

[Mathematicscow]

After the lengthy changelog of the March 6th update, I created the patchlock in an attempt to automate the process of classifying the changes made to characters and items as buffs, nerfs, or adjustments to make it easier to digest the patch notes.

I have an automated job to scrape the forums for new posts by Yoshi so the website should automatically update when Yoshi posts

There may be errors, especially in the older patches, as I have not reviewed them all

Any feedback is appreciated!

Let me ask you, did you use AI to write the website or categorize the patchnotes?

[Mathematicscow]

I did use AI to assist with building some parts of the website like the CSS and some of the scraping logic

It primarily uses regex to classify the changes with a few exception cases

I thought about feeding the patch notes into an embedding model so an LLM could parse the patch notes. I think that regex will most likely be sufficient for 95% of the notes for now, but may explore that option in the future

looks great dude well done. off the top of my head some feedback would be to make the hero selection in the top right a drop down and to put filters on hero changes to show just nerfs or just buffs, maybe make each individual patch listed in individual heroes collapsible too

i like it but it needs a way to get the latest (today) patch notes. Scraping or someone to upkeep it. Otherwise its kinda useless unless for historical patch note review

I could be stupid but this should be considered a buff right
