Site Updates

9/15/21

Yo! I wanted to give a quick update on the status of the site.

First, I want to thank the creators and contributors of the
original skatevideosite.com
site. They have graciously let me use the original data to
redevelop this new site as a passion project. Like many others,
I have used the original site for a long time and am truly
appreciative for all the work they have done.

I'm working on this as much as I can in my free time, so thanks
again to all of you visitors for being patient. I am aware there
are still some rough edges in the UI and functionality, but the
site is indeed being worked on and things will gradually improve
over time. Our dev team is composed of coders who also skate, so
rest assured the site is in good hands!

With that said I want to share our next priorities and what to
expect in the near future.

Current priorities:

  • Finish Admin Tooling
    • We are creating custom tools to manage the data which
      will allow us to start adding new videos again. This is
      close to being done.
  • Import 2020-2021 Data
    • We only have the data up until January 2020. In the mean
      time, videos have continued to be added to the original
      site. We will need to import the missing data into our
      new system. This will be a bit tricky since the data
      models of this site and the original site have diverged.
  • Improve Search
    • Search is one of the core parts to this site. The search
      function is decent at the moment, however we are aware
      of a few limitations and will be making it better. We
      also have a beta search UI we have been toying with, you
      might see it soon.
  • UI/UX improvements
    • This will be focused on more once the above tasks are done.

I will be periodically adding updates to this page when I have
something notable to share. Be on the lookout!

Cheers,
SkateVideoSite team
