During development, we ran into some tricky edge cases with authentication. Since the new platform runs across three subdomains (one of them being the app itself), we needed a way to make logins work smoothly across all of them. Basically, the app requires you to be logged in, but our auth server runs on a different subdomain. That meant we had to get cookies to carry over between subdomains, not exactly straightforward. After a lot of trial and error (and a few days of headaches), we finally got it working.

Here's what's done so far:

• Marketing/Landing page (still missing subpages like /blog, but the base is ready)
• Authentication server set up and login pages finished
• API server up and running (framework for both internal and public developer APIs)
• Onboarding flow completed

What's next?

• Building the main app (where you'll upload/download mods, connect with others, etc.)
• Finishing the landing page

Plenty of other smaller things I don't have on top of my head right now

Now for some less great news: At this point, we can't transfer forum data into the new platform. The reason is simple, we've completely shifted tech stacks, moving from XenForo to Next.js including our own auth/api server. It's a big change, but it opens the door for a lot of new features and improvements. That said, we'll be doing some research to see if any kind of migration is possible, and I'll share updates once we know more.
