Remove ScratchDB addons

Open Samq64 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

ScratchDB is down for the foreseeable future (https://scratchdb.lefty.one/) so we should remove addons that don't work without it.

Effected addons:

  • scratchstats
  • forum-search
  • exact-count (forum post count)
  • my-ocular (might be fine)

my-ocular (might be fine)

my-ocular still works.

We could also keep these addons for now but tuck them away somewhere and add a note to each of them explaining why they aren't working.

Could Lefty publish the software so we can host it?

Could Lefty publish the software so we can host it?

You could try asking him. Note that it is likely much more complicated than just typing a command, and it could take weeks, sometimes months to finish building an index.

There may also be some people who are building new projects to take ScratchDB's place.

I have the exact-count addon enabled for counting projects in studios, but I don't get the exact number anymore

You need to click the count to get the exact number. This change was made to avoid sending a large number of requests to Scratch every time a studio is opened - see #7617 and #7621.

I didn't know that. Thanks a lot for letting me know. Maybe this could be added to the information box of the addon?

I'll make a PR.

I think this is implemented:

  • scratchstats and exact-count's forum setting have been removed
  • forum-search now uses the new ScratchDB API
  • my-ocular's "View on ocular" link works again after https://github.com/jeffalo/ocular/commit/73b0791718b5a64b57c0b964198865a931050923
