==== 0rise-Formatted Time Support ==== | |||
[[Prod]] implemented a text command ("!0rise [city]") that will output the current time in the [http://ianhenderson.org/0rise.html 0rise format] created by [[Panic]]. | |||
For example, inputting "!0rise hiroshima" at 15:02 JST will output "[🌙] Time at Hiroshima, Japan: 8rise:19 / 20set:59" (sent through Prod's user). | |||
Later, the "!-0rise" command was added to support the negative-time format that [[Staz]] prefers. (Rather than X/Y indicating [X=Time since last sunrise, Y=Time since last sunset], negative-time format shows [X=Time since last sunrise, Y=Time until next sunset] during the day, and [X=Time until next sunrise, Y=Time since last sunset] during the night. This way, you can see at a glance how much time there is until the next sunrise/sunset.) | |||
=== March 3 - March 4, 2025 === | |||
==== Clock Bot ==== | |||
Replaced timestamps with Clock Bot, an automated user that posts the time every five minutes. | |||
In-message timestamp support was added to allow Clock Bot to display accurate times for every user. | |||
Example: [timestamp/1740957300] -> today at 8:15 | |||
Clock Bot also accepts the following commands: | |||
clock!now - Displays current time. | |||
clock!pet - Pets Clock Bot. | |||
In addition, the following keywords were added: | |||
[unobtrusively] - Makes your message appear smaller. (Clock Bot uses it when telling the time.) | |||
[obtrusively] - Makes your message appear larger. | |||
[[File:Clock bot.png|alt=panic clock bot update real it's very basic at the moment (ticks every 5 minutes when there's activity in the chat) includes support for the [unobtrusively] modifier at the beginning of a message panic which makes the message look like this [clock] today at 8:15 panic yes thank you clock also timestamps like \[timestamp/1740957300] -> today at 8:15 [clock] today at 8:20 disappearing kirb honestly i dont get the change the message timestamp solution is already nonintrusive enough as i said, if it aint broke, dont fix it i like the 1 minute solutuon tbh disappearing kirb unobtrusively is a nice keyword though [clock] today at 9:05 panic it took up a lot of space on mobile disappearing kirb i see panic that's the main reason also i kinda like the idea i think it's cool disappearing kirb i guess that reason makes it broke so fair enough|thumb|Clock Bot|none]] | |||
=== March 5, 2025 === | |||
==== New Backend / Connection Counter ==== | |||
[[Panic]] wrote a new backend and switched from "rust actix-ws" to "node.js" (whatever that means). | |||
The only part of the update visible to the user is the connection counter at the top of the page, which indicates how many users are currently connected. Currently the names of the connected users are not displayed, though Panic mentioned plans to change this in a future update to allow for "connection-related interactions" (whatever that means). | |||
Note: Clock Bot and Prod's bot each count as a user. | |||
[[File:Connection counter.png|alt=At the top of the page to the right of the username input box is a connection counter. The entire text now reads "connected as [username] with X others," where X is the number of currently connected users. panic ok time travel complete messages should be persistent from now on can't believe i forgot that part lol and yeah i just don't want to have to think about the path thing i want there to be a built-in function that does the right thing (replying to a message that was lost in the restart) let me restart one more time just to be sure lol ok cool is clock here clock!now [clock] today at 13:51 [clock] today at 13:55 panic i kinda wish i had dumped the messages from the browser to save ah well was only like 15 minutes of lost history [clock] today at 14:00 panic anyway yeah new backend, node.js instead of rust actix-ws, very cool, new connection counter thing if you reload, i already said this [clock] today at 14:05 404 4 others. we've lost one. panic sands of time claim another victim.

=== March 6, 2025 === | |||
==== Connection List ==== | |||
Hovering over the "with X others" text now reveals a drop-down list displaying the current connections and any usernames they've sent messages under recently. | |||

==== "h" Button ==== | |||
The "seal gif" button was replaced with an "h" button that sends a gif of an H flopping about happily. | |||
The seal gif can still be sent manually, by sending the message "[gif of a seal flopping about happily]". | |||
[[File:H button.png|alt="seal" button replaced with "h" button. panic <nowiki>https://i.imgur.com/xcHifiq.gif</nowiki> panic this calls for a new gif button i think [gif of an H flopping about happily] 🝜 sucks panic [gif of an H flopping about happily] asquared31415 [gif of an H flopping about happily]|thumb|"h" button.|none]] | |||
=== March 9, 2025 === | |||

Due to popular request, the "h" button was replaced with a "seal gif" button that sends a new seal gif. | |||

Witsend is a Witscord alternative being developed by Panic.
It was first shared on Witscord on October 11, 2024 (JST).[1]
History
February 12, 2025
Auto-Scrolling
Witsend received an update to allow for auto-scrolling when new messages are sent (the most-requested feature) and a "send" button to ensure users can send messages from mobile devices.
Babacord / Prodzpod Invasion (aka "The First Fall of Witsend")
Witsend was also visited by several users from LCOLONQ's Twitch Channel after Prod shared a link in the chat mentioning Witsend as a Discord alternative, and from the "baba is you" Discord sever (aka "babacord") after Jony posted a link there.

February 13, 2025
Connection Indicator / Username Textbox
Received update that displays a connection indicator and your selected username.
February 18, 2025
Colour Usernames / Mobile-Friendly
Update that lets users pick a colour for their username. Also adds a text box at the top of the screen where users can type in their username, instead of being prompted when loading the page.
The update also made the UI more user-friendly when viewed on a mobile device.
February 20, 2025
"pay noneuclidean" Button
Added "pay noneuclidean" button next to "send" button that generates a message saying "$X has been deposited into noneuclidean's account." where X is a random number. The range of possible values is unknown, but likely between 1-99 inclusive.
The button was subsequently removed later that day.

Timestamps
Timestamps added to messages. The first timestamped message was sent at 8:41am (JST). Panic mentioned that he's not sure what the best way to display timestamps is. Other users offered their suggestions.
The timestamps display relative dates for message sent "today" or "yesterday," and (presumably) use the date format determined by the local the user's browser is set to for messages more than 1 day old.
![On the right side of the screen there is a timestamp on the same line as the message it corresponds to. Time stamps are only displayed if their value is different from the previous message's value. just kirb can you add the list of future implementations on witscopedia? [Bank of Witscord] Nope panic there is no list really messing with putting timestamps on messages right now kinda hard to find a good way that isn't intrusive discord's solution is honestly really good but i also kinda don't want to just remake discord _ when will you add putt party to witsend panic trying something for timestamps i think this might be too much space taken up on mobile i'll leave it like this for a bit in any case to see how it does Zimodo can you put it like next to the name or sm panic yeah that's what discord does might just do that i wanted to at least try something else first though today at 10rise:39 ?](/~staz/w/index.php/File:Witsend_timestamps.png)

"seal gif" Button
A button was added to the bottom right that sends a gif of a happy seal. The gif was originally posted on Witscord by Noneuclidean (see: Nonposting). This is the first instance of non-ascii images being sent on Witsend.

Twitch Bridge (aka "The Second Fall of Witsend")
Prod created a bridge between Twitch and Witsend that allow viewers on Prod's stream to send messages to Witsend through the Twitch chat. This event was dubbed "The Second Fall of Witsend" by user Sus1d1p.
0rise-Formatted Time Support
Prod implemented a text command ("!0rise [city]") that will output the current time in the 0rise format created by Panic.
For example, inputting "!0rise hiroshima" at 15:02 JST will output "[🌙] Time at Hiroshima, Japan: 8rise:19 / 20set:59" (sent through Prod's user).
Later, the "!-0rise" command was added to support the negative-time format that Staz prefers. (Rather than X/Y indicating [X=Time since last sunrise, Y=Time since last sunset], negative-time format shows [X=Time since last sunrise, Y=Time until next sunset] during the day, and [X=Time until next sunrise, Y=Time since last sunset] during the night. This way, you can see at a glance how much time there is until the next sunrise/sunset.)

Clock Bot
Replaced timestamps with Clock Bot, an automated user that posts the time every five minutes.
In-message timestamp support was added to allow Clock Bot to display accurate times for every user.
Example: [timestamp/1740957300] -> today at 8:15
Clock Bot also accepts the following commands:
clock!now - Displays current time. clock!pet - Pets Clock Bot.
In addition, the following keywords were added:
[unobtrusively] - Makes your message appear smaller. (Clock Bot uses it when telling the time.) [obtrusively] - Makes your message appear larger.
![panic clock bot update real it's very basic at the moment (ticks every 5 minutes when there's activity in the chat) includes support for the [unobtrusively] modifier at the beginning of a message panic which makes the message look like this [clock] today at 8:15 panic yes thank you clock also timestamps like \[timestamp/1740957300] -> today at 8:15 [clock] today at 8:20 disappearing kirb honestly i dont get the change the message timestamp solution is already nonintrusive enough as i said, if it aint broke, dont fix it i like the 1 minute solutuon tbh disappearing kirb unobtrusively is a nice keyword though [clock] today at 9:05 panic it took up a lot of space on mobile disappearing kirb i see panic that's the main reason also i kinda like the idea i think it's cool disappearing kirb i guess that reason makes it broke so fair enough](/~staz/w/index.php/File:Clock_bot.png)

New Backend / Connection Counter
Panic wrote a new backend and switched from "rust actix-ws" to "node.js" (whatever that means).
The only part of the update visible to the user is the connection counter at the top of the page, which indicates how many users are currently connected. Currently the names of the connected users are not displayed, though Panic mentioned plans to change this in a future update to allow for "connection-related interactions" (whatever that means).
Note: Clock Bot and Prod's bot each count as a user.
![At the top of the page to the right of the username input box is a connection counter. The entire text now reads "connected as [username] with X others," where X is the number of currently connected users. panic ok time travel complete messages should be persistent from now on can't believe i forgot that part lol and yeah i just don't want to have to think about the path thing i want there to be a built-in function that does the right thing (replying to a message that was lost in the restart) let me restart one more time just to be sure lol ok cool is clock here clock!now [clock] today at 13:51 [clock] today at 13:55 panic i kinda wish i had dumped the messages from the browser to save ah well was only like 15 minutes of lost history [clock] today at 14:00 panic anyway yeah new backend, node.js instead of rust actix-ws, very cool, new connection counter thing if you reload, i already said this [clock] today at 14:05 404 4 others. we've lost one. panic sands of time claim another victim.

Connection List
Hovering over the "with X others" text now reveals a drop-down list displaying the current connections and any usernames they've sent messages under recently.

"h" Button
The "seal gif" button was replaced with an "h" button that sends a gif of an H flopping about happily.
The seal gif can still be sent manually, by sending the message "[gif of a seal flopping about happily]".

New Seal Gif
Due to popular request, the "h" button was replaced with a "seal gif" button that sends a new seal gif.
Note: The new seal gif exceeds Witscopedia's max file size of 2MB. It can be viewed here: https://imgur.com/QwCjhJL
