It's nice to see HTMX in action, looks good 🥳 .
My suggestion is maybe to use different color palette and add more images and animations to make user experience even better.

#

Yes, I tried a bunch of colors then gave up on those tbh
is open so, if anyone can do better, please do
and yeah, HTMX is lots of fun, they have ways for doing transitions but I have not gotten that far yet

I will source code later, I'm interested in it too, really powerful library
Did you use any library for css or it's pure css ?

quaint vector
#

It's css but honeslty it's quite gnarly, I bodged things quite a bit to get it to look more or less how I planned but I should probably redo the layout from scratch

Changed the colors to the material design dark palette, it looks a bit generic which is what I wanted to avoid but at least it's not an eye sore anymore

This is a great project and your support to keep the SA:MP/Open.MP community together is appreciated. ~~If you need a logo I've designed one respecting your colour range but there's absolutely no obligation to use this logo I just did this to contribute so you could use it somewhere in your promotion or you can ignore it, no problem! ~~Thanks for making your server monitor website.

Yeah I appreciate the effort but for the time being I'll keep it as it is now

It's a monitor rather than a list. It updates more often and keeps track of some stats, and the filtering is a little better. As far as just finding a server, any server, they are the same really.

Thanks for your thoughts above, I can understand the preference for something simple to match the website. I won't post any more logos as I don't want to distract from any technical discussions here about Markski's website. Keep going with this great project, thanks.

I also like the 4th and 7th ones, simple designs are best
but yeah, I don't want to use a logo, mainly because I'm too lazy to inline images in the markup in a way that would be responsive
and I'm probably gonna change the whole website eventually to be more like a table like the old SACNR Monitor

I don't know who spent their afternoon adding like 500 servers to SAMonitor but thanks lol

I have a request for comments, regarding server listings - namely how to serve them dowm to the masterlist

I was thinking of what'd be the most fair way to present them. For now I have made it so that the list gets shuffled every ~30 minutes, but I was wondering if someone knows a better method that maybe accounts for -some- server stats.

Here's an idea, although a random list is fair and democratic might it be possible to not show full servers at the top of the results (or first list page) because full servers don't need more players so their position in that list could be swapped with a server that's not full before the list is generated? In other words full servers less likely to be shown and given priority in the list order. Can your sorting algorithm do something like that?

quaint vector
#

Yeah, I do want to come up with a better way to sort them, I'll see what I can come up with.
Since the website's default filter doesn't show empty servers, just having them randomized might be good enough.

Because of the high amount of Russian servers, there are now ways to filter them out in the search.
This should make the lists a lot more usable if you don't speak russian.

The proposal of the monitor seems interesting, but the system of ban by IP can be a problem for hosting the game service, which can contain dozens of active servers, and for example, one or two cause problems or due to the amount of servers, the depend on taking unfair bans, it would be interesting an implementation for hosts to declare if she owns the IP, blocking users from causing problems

Most likely this year Samp will officially close its services, which may lead people to look for new monitors and services that do what Samp has stopped doing

quaint vector
#

yes you are correct
been thinking of how to deal with that

#

"No russian servers" WTF????

quaint vector
#

At least half of the servers in the list are Russian. If you don't speak russian, it's a useful option. Why have a list full of servers you can't play?

For those curious, more live data now in the Metrics page.

Yeah that is unfortunate, it's rather WIP for now
95%+ of the cases are correct but stuff like that slips through, I'll see how to tighten it

#

As it is right now, it will only assign one language to one server, and it checks for english first, so that server in particular registers as english
I decided to do it in that order, since usually "multilanguage" servers are mainly english
