As some of you might have noticed, we had a fairly significant outage today affecting all of our services. It lasted for approximately 6 hours and during that time both our website and our iOS app were completely inaccessible. We did everything we could to bring it back as soon as possible, but the root cause of the problem wasn't on our side. Our server provider had some pretty serious problems…
Please bear with us and read the whole article because it's about a topic that gets more and more important each day and also about a recent bot activity we detected on BraceletBook. Over the last few days we started seeing a very suspicious bot activity on BraceletBook. It's not something new or unusual, because it happens to all bigger websites basically on a daily basis, but it's the first time…
Just a quick update 🙂 We found another issue that was caused by the most recent update to our draw alpha generator. It only affected Safari browser on iOS and broke the ability to use 0-knots. More specifically, the long press gesture wasn't working properly, so it wasn't possible to add new 0-knots to your patterns. Everything should be working now and we also improved the gesture on other…
Thanks to one of our users, we found 2 issues in our alpha pattern generators which didn't work quite correctly with 0-knots. We managed to find a solution with our moderators very quickly. It would take me a lot more time to figure it out all by myself, so big thanks to the whole team for looking into the issue and providing valuable feedback! 🙂 If you've never heard about 0-knots (noknots, left…
As some of you might have noticed, we had a brief period of downtime today due to upgrading our server, so I wanted to post a quick update just to let you all know what was happening any why we had to do it in the first place 🙂. The summer season is just around the corner, and as every year, we're now seeing an increase in the number of active users and pageloads on BraceletBook. Which is awesome…
Some of you might have noticed a short period of downtime for both our website and our app. It took a bit more time than usually, when we're just pushing out some updates or new features, but we had a very good reason for it! 🙂 Our server provider recently introduced NVMe SSDs for our external storage. Everything else except from pattern, variation and unfinished pattern images were already…
From the last time our FAQ section got updated, we gathered quite a few very good suggestions from our users and moderators on questions that are being asked very frequently and should be added. All of the newly added answers were entirely written by our awesome team of moderators! 🙂🙏 So please, even if you don't have any specific questions at the moment, go check it out! There's a lot of useful…
We are doing our best to listen to our community and know what our users are looking for when using our services. Having a positive and welcoming vibe on BraceletBook is very important to all of us. As made clear in a previous blog post, we do not believe in censorship. However, we do believe that there are a few topics a discussion of which, whatever side of the argument an individual is on,…
