Changes on the Myrtany.net website

Hi everyone,

I’ve come to the conclusion that something needs to be done about the website so that it doesn't remain in a state of being constantly unfinished. That’s why I’ve decided to trim things down and simplify the site. At first glance, it might feel like a downgrade, but my goal is to make it simpler, clearer, and most importantly, to fix the mobile version, which is currently completely broken.

So, I’ll be removing some buttons and flags, but the core purpose of the site will remain the same – it will still lead you to your favorite mods and translations, just in a slightly different way.

Since I’m neither a programmer nor a designer, I’m building this site the best I can with the skills I have. Some things I simply don’t know how to do better. I’ve already received offers from people to move the site to WordPress or other platforms, but that would mean losing everything I’ve worked on so far and having to learn a whole new system from scratch. This current setup works best for me – it’s beginner-friendly, and I just need to trim it down and make things easier.

This is the first phase – simplifying the site so it works well on both mobile and PC, and getting rid of long-standing bugs and incomplete features.

Once that’s done, I’ll start phase two: more frequent uploading of mods that are still missing from the site. Since the website is primarily aimed at the Czech-Slovak community, I’ve avoided uploading mods without at least a basic Google Translate version of a Czech localization. In phase two, I’ll loosen that rule a bit and upload all sorts of existing mods and plugins, creating a more complete database and hub that links to other sites and mod downloads. I’ll work on Czech translations for new mods based on my time and interest.

This is the main thing I want to achieve with the website. I’ll be refining and adding little things along the way, but the priority is clear.

Just wanted to let you all know what’s going on so we can avoid questions about the website’s current state. I’m doing everything gradually in my spare time and when I feel like it, so it’ll be a slow but steady process. The core features of the site – galleries, mod descriptions, and all the essentials – will stay. A few things will just look a bit different. :)
