frustra / mods.io Goto Github PK

A more flexible version tagging system that allows authors to order versions and select which are current. Mod versions should allow certain things to be edited like the change log.

If not, it might be worth selling mods.io to someone like Modrinth...

Currently, the newest version files can be marked as is 1.12.2.

The https://mods.io/ website is already very well made (no really, it's miles better than sites like PlanetMinecraft which are using really old code), but it could still do with some improvements to ensure maximum performance and better compatibility with future and past browsers. Most of these code changes are minor, but it seems to make a big positive impact.

Use flip ahead so that modern browsers can pre-render/preload the next page

Using this will improve performance on most modern browsers, not just IE.

Note: If you find it difficult to implement flip ahead, just use pre-render for the next page instead like so:

<link rel="prerender" href="https://mods.io/mods?page=2&query=CHANGEME" />

then on page 2 you pre-render page 3, etc...

Add OS intergration

Yes, I know this won't make the site quicker, but it allows you to make your site icon look better for stuff such as your site being pinned to the start screen or task bar with just two lines of code. If you really want, you could have your own custom jumplists for mods.io which take you to the dashboard, homepage, etc...

Prevent IE compatibility mode

With IE compatibility mode sometimes turning on, on IE10 and lower, your site sometimes ends up looking bad and going slow. This is IE's fault, but you can fix it by configuring nginx to tell IE (and only IE) to not use compatibility mode.

server {
  #...
  add_header X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge";
}

Since you're using HTML5, preventing compatibility mode will actually fix your website with old IE, rather than breaking it.

When you're ready, let me know when you would like a Spanish translation for mods.io. I'll love to help out! :)

Code blocks with long lines will extend outside of the block and not display a scroll bar or line wrap.

Spoiler tags can be annoying to close and don't look the greatest if there's a bunch of them.
Moving the open/close button to the top as well as possibly displaying a small preview of the contents would be good.

Includes information like what the latest version is, download urls, author, etc...

Will be project translated to another languages? Can I help in translating to russian language?

The way everyone is using spoiler tags and including their documentation in-line is pretty bad, it would be good to have a page system similar to github for documenting things.

At the moment, if I forget to add something to the changelog of a new version of my mod, for example, I have to delete the version and make it again. It would be great if we could edit mod versions without having to completely delete and redo them.

Please add SPDY v3 support to your mods.io webserver if possible. Thanks! :)

By serving your webpages using the SPDY protocol, page load times would be significantly faster and overall less bandwidth would be used for the same content.
