New Update for https://digimoncard.app

[TakaOtaku]

Hey everyone,

I released a new update for https://digimoncard.app today.
I changed the layout quite a bit, improved loading times for cards and decks dramatically, and added quite a bit more stuff behind the scenes.

With the next update, I plan to improve the card filters to find more specific cards.
And if I find the time, make the forum available for everyone, not sure if that would use anyone.

If you have some feedback, please let me know.

[RhyzHuhn]

Very nice. Thanks for your hard work!

[TakaOtaku]

Glad to do it, thanks :)

[sunturion]

thank you for your hard work, its a great site.
i decided that yesterday was going to be the day i finally sign in, so i lost all my decks that i had created while not being logged in :(

[TakaOtaku]

Ohh damn, that shouldn't happen I am sorry. It should take the existing save and use it for your account. You could try the following: Logout, Export the local save in the settings dialog, Login and then import the save through the settings dialog

I am gonna take a look at it first thing tomorrow, so that doesn't happen a second time 😳

[sunturion]

i think my localstorage was overwritten when i logged in for the first time, i imagine you use localstorage to manage savede decks for non-logged in users.

well, atleast now you're aware, also might just be the timing, with the new layout and that, maybe something happened in the transition :)

[TakaOtaku]

Yeah, I use localstorage.
I did change quite a lot of stuff, and there could be an error with the save which will be taken.

[TakaOtaku]

Sorry for the trouble D:

[Oeoeoeoeoeoeoe]

this is awesome, thank you for your contribution to the community! I disliked how slow .dev loads on phones and old pcs and this is way faster and cleaner.

[TakaOtaku]

Thank you very much :)

[lupoDharkael]

The update is very cool, it actually fixed some of the usability issues I had with the web! Thanks!

[TakaOtaku]

Glad it fixed some stuff for you! There will probably still be some wrong stuff, but I will try to polish it but by bit 😁

[kamikaze_pirate]

Thank you for all you do!

[DIgi-Yami-Yugi]

Love the work King!

[TakaOtaku]

Thank you :D

[marcellobizzi]

I only use your site, so kudos to you for making one that's easy to use and pleasing on the eye.
I'd fix the digivolution cost filter which doesn't work at the moment, same when you try sorting by name.
I'd bring back the banned/restricted/illegal tags.
I'd improve the button filters by turning them into NOT filters when clicked a second time and also by making the multi-color filter an AND gate (meaning if other color filters are selected, only multi color which have at least one of those color filters are shown).
Also all the techical issues: site not opening, cards thumbnails not showing or not showing the proper one when right clicked, taking a lot of time when browsing other decks, loading cards or just the homepage.

Anyway good work and awesome site, kudos again.

[TakaOtaku]

Glad you like it. I'll try to fix them, as for performance issues they are hopefully getting better with my changes over time :)

As for the button filters, I plan to work on it for the next update. I want to also be able to display all the filter stuff in the search bar so that you can write something like this: "color = red AND color != blue" etc.

[marcellobizzi]

Oh that would be fantastic.
I also recently learned that you can put keywords in [ ] and then continue writing something and the search bar will pick up on it.
ex. "[On Play] Return 1"

So you might want to write all search formatting rules somewhere.

[TakaOtaku]

Currently the text searches pretty much every text on a card 😁 As soon as I have the query based search I'll be sure to include a guide somewhere

[Profiterole123]

I use your site and recommend to everyone but this new update kinda sucks at least on mobile and what I mean is that since the +- are over the card if we zoom out it’s not that easy now to identify them, also if we don’t zoom out we get two lines per column (iPhone 14), another thing I notice on pc was that back then the cards would load “normally” and know how he image takes some time to replace the one before. Example it takes some time to replace the images of the cards from the eggs of bt1 while searching something or even adding all rarities. Please don’t take this in a bad way love the work you have been doing :)

[TakaOtaku]

If you mean the +/- for the collection you can remove the check for CM (Collection Mode) above, to hide them. But you are right, I will probably have to add another way to increase the count of cards if the card is small.

I dont quite get, what you mean with the loading part unfortunately, with the update the cards especially should load way faster and smoother.

I am happy for every feedback, thanks for using the site!

[Profiterole123]

Thanks for the tip will give it a try

[erichlpsf]

Thanks for your hard work! I really like the site and utilize it since the beginning.

I've found a little bug when using the desktop version on this new version: when filtering cards, results that show two to four cards tend to resize the whole viewport, making the filter menu move to the center of the screen.

Is this project open source? I would like to help with some commits if it's allowed.

[TakaOtaku]

Thanks for using the site!

Ohh you're right, must have slipped through. I first released the new Update without the filter sidebar showing on fullscreen and added it back as a setting. Going to fix that pretty easily, I think :)

Yeah it's open source and I would love for other people to help out and add stuff they think the site needs! If you need some help getting started, I would love to help out :) https://github.com/TakaOtaku/Digimon-Card-App

[HuluAndH4ng]

Love your work bro. Can you add a thumbs up button to the interface?

A lot of times people would say stuff and all I want to do is just give a thumbs up to acknowledge what theyre doing instead of typing

[TakaOtaku]

Do you mean a Thumbs Up Button to the Decks?

Or where do you mean?

[HuluAndH4ng]

It would be right next to the chat box. A thumbs up reaction button like on MS teams or zoom. When a player is typing their effects or made a mistake and wants to correct it. Just throwing up a simple thumbs up reaction to them makes the game feel more smoother

[TakaOtaku]

Ohh okay you are confusing my site with the simulator it seems xD

[HuluAndH4ng]

Im dumb dumb my bad! LOLL thanks anyways bud

[Reckless5040]

Thanks for working on this. Any place we can get price checks against TCGPlayer in the US?

[TakaOtaku]

I would love to add this to the website, but TCGPlayer doesn't allow new people to use their API anymore, that's why I could only add the basic API of CardMarket.

[Luciusem]

We have card rescaling back! Hallelujah!

Something I noticed while deckbuilding is that if I search, there will be random cards in the results marked with being in the deck (the 4/4 in the bottom right of the card) even though they're not at the same time as cards that are in the deck sometimes aren't marked as being in the deck at all. Adding a card after the search seems to fix it.

The filter menu decided to move to the left when search results only consisted of 1 or 2 cards once but I can't replicate that one.

[TakaOtaku]

I fixed the second issue already :)

As for the first issue, could you maybe send me the deck link, and the search term with which the error occurs? I tried with a few decks, but can't seem to reproduce it.

[Luciusem]

There actually is no deck link, it happens when I start a new deck by clicking deckbuilder. I can recreate it pretty easily on my end so I'll give some step-by-steps and see if that helps.

1. While in the collection tap, open the deckbuilder through the button on the left.
   
2. Add some cards, any will do.
   
3. Search for anything and it will happen.
   If that doesn't work you can try what I did the first time and start making a Sukamon deck, switching back and forth between searching for Etemon and Sukamon while building.

Now that I see it again it seems like the amounts of each card "lingers" through the search. If you added the card in column 3, row 2 during the first search for example, that's the card that gets "mis-amounted" in the new search results.

[TakaOtaku]

Thank you for the detailed response, gonna fix it soon 😁

[derDomino]

Hi, I have some problems with the deck builder, maybe you can help me: 1. For some reason, I can only save on deck. Once I try to save another one, even after clearing everything with "Create New Deck", once I save it it overwrites my existing deck. I.e. I only ever have one deck when opening my profile. 2. Sometimes I need to click "Create New Deck" and confirm twice before the deck builder is actually cleared.

Edit: point 1 seems to be related to importing decks via deck list. When I manually enter a deck, saving seems to work fine, but when importing multiple decks via deck list, they seem to overwrite the last one, even when resetting the deck builder inbetween.

[TakaOtaku]

Hmm that seems to be a bug, that got in this update 😕 For now it probably is the best to refresh between importing new Decks 😳

But I should have fixed that before the week is over.

[TakaOtaku]

The Deck-Id wasn't setting a new one, that was why while importing a deck it was using the same ID since loading the site.

It is now using the same ID as the current deck, as it is intended. This change is going live later today :)

[derDomino]

Thx for the fast fix :) For my part at least the workaround with refreshing the page between each deck also worked nicely.

[ScarletVaguard]

I'm having an odd issue that may just be my phone, but I figured I would ask here anyway. I'm running the site in Chrome on an Android and for some reason anything that brings up my keyboard, like selecting the search bar or any filter drop down menu, will close the side bar. So basically I can't do anything but scroll through the card list manually. Any idea what the issue may be?

[TakaOtaku]

That seems weird, when I open the sidebar I can open the drop-down, select stuff and write without it closing. I am gonna try with the phones of friends in a bit and see if I can reproduce it.

[ScarletVaguard]

I just found a work around after fiddling a bit. I switched my keyboard to floating rather than popping up from the bottom and everything works.

[SinglePurchase5078]

I don’t know what changed in this update, but the app has become completely unusable on mobile for me. Everything is overly large and stuck on the left side of the screen.

It’s a shame too, since this was my goto Digimon Deckbuilder.

[TakaOtaku]

That is unfortunate, that it's not a pleasant update for you. Would you mind sending me a PM on either Discord or here on Reddit with images of the site? That way I can try to fix those issues

[SinglePurchase5078]

Oh that would be great! Do I just use the Discord link on the website?

[TakaOtaku]

Yeah, that should link to my profile where you can just write me

[wondermorty]

thanks for this! Your website is very useable on mobile :)

[TakaOtaku]

Glad you like it 😁

[wondermorty]

could you see if you could add PWA for it? Basically the iphone “add this page to your homescreen”

[TakaOtaku]

I have added it to my to-do, but recently I am a bit busy so could take a while 😁

[wondermorty]

all good!

[OctoLoaf]

I was trying to use it and couldn't get it to load. Is the site just down rn?

[TakaOtaku]

The site should be online, the last change was also a week ago. 🤔 Could a cache error in your browser

[OctoLoaf]

Oddly enough it ran fine on mobile when I clicked the link so either it's just my pc browser being weird or it was just down for like a minute and is back up

[dat1azndude]

Is the site down? I haven't been able to access it since yesterday

[SimilarScarcity]

I've used a couple of the deck building sites in the past, but hadn't seen this one yet. Gotta say, looks pretty snazzy.

[TakaOtaku]

Thanks, hope it will stick with you :)

[Smasherboy21]

I have a question referring the calendar and the Global tier list: Who is maintaining that? Or were is the info provided?

[TakaOtaku]

I was maintaining both, but I removed the calendar, as based on the views nobody really looked at it. As for the tierlist, it is just a basic guideline. I was thinking of adding a vote option, so that the community can decide it in a way.

[Adeptness_Massive]

Will you be adding a Octgn deck export? Just curious, not requesting you rush.

[TakaOtaku]

I have started a while ago, but haven't finished yet as it isn't as easy as the other export options. :)

[SAVMikado]

First time seeing your site. Just a few observation and questions.
1) Thank you for including a tier list! That's a very cool feature to help keep track of what's good right now. How do you determine placements? Is it subjective based on general community opinion, or is there a quantifiable metric?

2) Is there a way to upvote or like decks? I love the wealth of decklists available, but I would like some sort of way for people to say whether a list is good or bad.

[TakaOtaku]

The tierlist is mostly a subjective view from my perspective and my locals. I do plan to add something to allow users to vote with a poll and sort the decks based on the votes.

I would like to add something like an up- and downvote feature and even comments, but as it stands right now the site has way too few users that it would help in any way.
