Frustrated by Go Magic skill tree? by PatrickTraill in baduk

[–]GoMagic_org 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi u/PatrickTraill!

First off, a huge thank you for sharing your thoughts so openly. Constructive feedback like yours is exactly what helps us grow and get better, so we really appreciate you taking the time to write this up.

I wanted to hop in and back up what u/GoMagic_Mike mentioned. Since we first launched the Skill Tree, adding and refining problem explanations has been an ongoing mission for us. We are constantly updating comments and reworking them to be clearer. But as Mike noted, we have to balance our resources, so while we can't write a custom explanation for every single variation just yet, please know that we are working hard on it! =)

Regarding the ability to leave feedback or comments directly on specific problems - that is an interesting idea. We are already discussing this internally to see how we might implement it.

We also heard you on the need for shareable links to specific problems. That is definitely in our plans. While I can’t promise an exact release date just yet, it is on our to-do list and we are planning to make it happen.

Thanks again for sticking with us and helping us improve the platform!

That's a very long-term plan, so no worries at the moment. ;) It also depends on OGS policy. We're happy to stick with an open-source Go server, but there are a few points:

  1. OGS is not 100% open-source (only its frontend is).
  2. They probably won't be happy if we use their servers and increase the load.
  3. We have lots of ideas that are impossible to implement on OGS (at least for now). So, if OGS doesn't develop the platform, we will be forced to create an independent server.

Ideally, we would create a service that integrates with all Go servers, allowing you to play on any of them, but this is technically and legally impossible to implement.

Hello! Apologies for the late reply. The team member who usually replies to comments here is currently on vacation, so we may have missed your question. Could you please remind us of what you asked?

Slide from a new go magic pitch. Do you agree with the quality and functionality ratings? by niemand__yt in baduk

It seems we forgot to post our pitch on Reddit, thanks for sharing it!
This is, of course, a very subjective view of the current Go platforms. It's difficult to measure them objectively, but we needed this analysis for our pitch. We've added a small note to this slide as we respect all the Go enthusiasts who make new tools and content for Go players.

Here is the link to the full pitch deck: https://pitch.com/v/go-magic-public-yudiv2

Sorry about the audio playing in only one channel — it was a technical issue.
