Unlike others here, I really like the idea behind the logo. The way the 'H' forms a DS is very clever, but I'd personally remove the 'THEmes' bit on the left side of the graphic.
When we first started, we mainly focussed on 3ds themes, that is why the "themes" part is in the logo.
We still plan on expanding to themes, but we're looking into how to do it without being an asshole against 3dsthem.es

I haven't gone through the whole thread, but if you need a place to host files, I can open some space for you where I host d0k3's hourlies, for free.

We've chosen to use the developer's github release page as a download link so that we do not need to host files, + so that we can always provide the latest version that is released. Thanks though, we appreciate the offer!

Yes but you still need a place to host the php/html files and such, no?
EDIT: I have 4TB bandwidth per month so no problems. Zero charges for you guys. With your domain. :P

I have a server for over 2 years now and I could host webspace, MySQL or even just a mirror for the downloads, if you want to.

EDIT: For free ofc

I appreciate the offer, but we're gonna stick with what we've got for now.

The only thing that we currently save, is the username of the developer, and application names. every 30 minutes, a php scripts executes, and scans the release page of each developer's applications (that we saved).
From this release page we cache the different versions, the contents of the release, date, downloads, ....
When someone visits the website, we call up our cache (a list of all the homebrew applications visible, with their data), and we filter out every application with a CIA (or 3DSX) in it.
We take the download url, and put that inside the get request of an online qr code generator as the url for the images.

so the images you see would be something like www.qr-code.generator.com/generate?url=github.com/developer/application/releases/versionnumber/filename.cia

However, we thought: what if someone saves this image? people will be using old downloads. So what we did is make this service:
www.homebrewhub.xyz/latest/cia/ShinyMK/JKSMK
(www.homebrewhub.xyz/atest/cia/<developer>/<application>).
Which will scan our data, and point to the latest download.

Edit: We use the github api

Ahh Get requests. Kk, Thanks.
P.S: 30 minutes is way too low. Make it once every 12 hours or rip servers tbh
It'll be fine once i spread them out over 30 minutes instead of all at the same time each 30 minutes

Thats even worse, That means pretty much at all times the servers strength is lowered somewhat, May not be noticeable but not all lag is noticeable.
The server load time for each request (except for once every 30 minutes) is less then 1ms.
This evening i'm gonna make it a threaded background progress (not triggered by the web server) and you shouldn't experience anything bad at all.

Check the github API. It has some realtime stuff which can eliminate manual processes.
We're using the Api, I specifically didn't use API in my explanation because i didn't want to confuse some less IT related people, sorry for the confusion

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
