Hey I'd love it if we could rename the tabs in the new webUI. I'm in 5 games now and I have no idea which number is which. For me it's my Saar game, my Arborec game, etc. Being able to see the game number and then something like my faction in parenthesis would be very helpful. I'd assume this can only work when you're authenticated (which I am)

hey @raven leaf i might add a better default naming strategy down the line, but for now I've now made these editable, so you can assign whatever name you want.

Relatedly any chance we can get the abilty to reorder the tabs? Like to keep certain games grouped like mega games, tourney, etc.
fast hawk
perhaps down the line 🙂
there's a few higher priority items but will definitely take that into account!
unreal wing
totally reasonable
only really an issue for those of us nuts who have a ton of games going at once

@unreal wing yep. it's not terribly difficult just need to think about usability on mobile. at some point I'll probably add a feature so that if you go over N number of tabs, it moves to more of a dropdown system with search anyways
how many tabs do you have open?

on mobile i dont even bother with having multiple games open in 1 tab. they would all run off the screen and become unuseable. instead i have a chrome tab open for each game and just group those into a folder. I can give it a try on the new website though and see if the in-website game tabs work better now. Currently have 9 games im in or monitoring. 2 mega games, 2 tigl games, 3 tourney games, and 2 fow games im gming

i would say on mobile i made it so the tabs are technically usable but probably not the best experience. probs should go to a hamburger menu approach there 😄

yeah thatd probably work well. the dream would be if it somehow highlighted game tabs where youve been pinged because its your turn/strat card popped/youre being attacked/etc
is the discord login button supposed to do something btw? on both old and new website it just fails for me if i try and do that.
unreal wing
should it just autosync your games? not sure what its even for
last night. i can try again
fast hawk
yeah try again it was broken last night 🙂
right now discord is only used for fog of war games. we don't let you see fow games unless you authenticate, and then you only get your specific fow map

that said, with discord login, it opens up a lot of potential for future development, including the kinds of things you're mentioning

oh thats super cool. had to always tell my fog players to not try and use the website, didnt realize that was an option.

w/ discord login we open up doors for things like
a) automatically pre-populate your tabs with all your active games
b) possibly issue commands from the web UI
c) the kind of notification stuff you're talking about
unreal wing
B would be the most exciting but i imagine thatd require massive development. and probably up server costs. basically be twilight wars at that point

well, we have some limited number of things we can do with the whole "overlays on images" approach, but fancier features would require a full re-architecture of the frontend to not just be a glorified image viewer
and probably beyond the scope of what's reaosnable to maintain
but right now we're about to launch overlays (just polishing the last little bit of details)
by which i mean hover over objectives, tech, relic, etc and it shows you the details
fast hawk
yeah. i got miffed because I threw one of my async games because I confused found lost outposts with found research outposts
