New Power Generator Manager update, version 2.0.20.0.3 (New backgrounds, new accent colors...)

Yet another unplanned update, but regardless, it brings some massive updates out of the box, including the early background change and a bunch of neat improvements!

[Bug?] generator-stats-plugin delays in showing the last edited time

So, I went to edit and save two of my own generators, broken-generators and wheel-substance-chance. However, after reloading on my hub page, the last edited time wasn’t displaying the updated time right away, it just stays the same as when I saved it 1 year ago and 29 days ago, respectively.

After waiting for a few minutes though, it did show the updated time, so there appears to be a delay on the plugin.

Adding admin-privileged user ID into bannedUsers of the Comments Plugin

Just found another interesting "bug" similar to the generatorName override. I tried "banning" an admin user (which is myself) from the comments of my hub page by adding the ID into the bannedUsers list and got some bizarre effects. When I re-visited my hub page, the admin comments were hidden, but I could still comment. And after a refresh, weirdly, they showed up. But in a private window, they're hidden.

[Bug] Downloading revisions not working

I made a similar post about this one (https://lemmy.world/post/11134086) and it happened again, and hopefully the Dev can notice. (ping please)

Here's the error that Perchance throws when I try to download revisions from https://perchance.org/power-generator-manager-10k-milestone:

Uncaught URIError: URI malformed
at decodeURI (see image)

EDIT: After some later investigation, I've found out that this does NOT affect earlier revisions (see this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/8770044)

@perchance

[Suggestion] Blocking certain words in comments, not just users in the Comments Plugin

So, there's already a feature to block specific tags so comments with those tags won't show up anymore. But what if you could also block comments based on keywords (even if they're sent from different tags)? Also, there should be a separate "unblock all" command for blocked users and words.

Please ping the Dev so they know about this.

The FINAL trailer for the Generator Manager's Milestone Announcement...

Yes, it's the last sneak peek before the release of the announcement... which is just already 12 hours ahead (as of this post).

@perchance

A discovery within the Comments Plugin

If you look all the way up to the past, specifically before November 2022 (when the tags are introduced), you'll see comments with the placeholder tag "?????". Comments that were made before the tag system was introduced were given that default tag (and an interestingly cool gray color).

This is what it looks like when I saw them on my example from this post: https://lemmy.world/post/13241347

@perchance

Tampering with generatorName

I have recently discovered this but apparently you can tamper with the generatorName variable to use another generator's name despite that it's a different generator name, in other words, identify that as another generator. This could be used to play with some sort of things that you can't in a normal circumstance, like accessing the comments from another generator, even from deleted or renamed generators.

Power Generator Manager 2.0.20.0.2 is now out! (New Featured and Main Generators!)

A small update that compensates with the recent move of my small generators to the Main Generators section + a new Featured Generator!

Three days before the Milestone Announcement, and I'm doing something...

Yet another sort of trailer to the upcoming 10.0k views milestone announcement for my generator hub page that is already in progress by now... 🔥🔥

Perchance Saving Bugs

There were a few instances where in the editor ended up failing to "save", but the generator saving process still succeeded and is still recorded in the revisions.

I was editing my generator hub page that day and saved it by clicking on the save button and then it errors after a classic 20 seconds...

I decided to check the DevTools network and it shows all the details behind that saving process, and things look suspicious, until the revisions told me wrong.

@perchance

A new renaissance to the 10.0k views milestone announcement... 🔥🔥

If you didn’t know already, my generator hub page just reached over 10.0k views last month, and the upcoming announcement will be here to spice up all that amazedness with the big updates that'll drastically change how my generators look and function, and so much more...

And with that, I'm cooking up a new trailer just to get that excitement going again 🔥🔥🔥🎆

Power Generator Manager 2.0.20.0.1 is now out! (What?!)

This is a small update to my generator hub page that adds minor improvements in the middle of the preparation of the 10.0k views milestone announcement, and that's why I introduce you the new version branch system...

@perchance

A new firecracker of a trailer for the last ever Power Generator Manager update + 10.0k views milestone announcement 🔥🔥

Re-posted and improved the art!

The new Preview update will come soon, probably a few days after the preparation of the announcement, but for now, enjoy the ride for several weeks before it rolls out eventually :)

@perchance

Another Generator Manager update?! (teaser)

Yes, there'll be one or some. It's in-between. Just wait.

@perchance

A small trailer to an upcoming big Power Flag Generator update later this year...

FYI, I just updated the generator, adding diagonal and triangle layouts, as well as a new emblem shape, so check them out!

@perchance 🎨 Did you know that you can style the loading screen of the comments plugin box?

I just discovered this not so long ago. By inserting some CSS in your Perchance HTML code, you have endless possibilities to style the "frame" that displays before the actual comments load (as shown in the picture).

Just telling that this kind of "science" exists, and I even applied it to one of my generators.

@perchance ✨ New Power Generator Manager Update! (Version 2.0.20.0)

Finally, a major overhaul of the generator hub page! Possibly the biggest update I've ever made as well...

Any kinds of feedback or suggestion is welcome here! Everything isn't perfect.
