Well hello there, as im sure you all may know by now our development team has been extremely busy to kick off the new year. We have added a ton of new things, pushed a bunch of major bug fixes and so much more. So lets break it all down!
Monthly Recaps
First and foremost is the feature you are currently viewing, Monthly Recaps allow us to share everything we have been up to for the past 30 days with the rest of our community and the CordX Users as a whole. This allows us to make sure you all stay informed on what we have recently released, what we are still actively working on and provide our thoughts on any requests or feedback.Upload Webhooks
Another new feature that was highly requested by a bunch of our users is upload webhooks and we are happy to tell you they are finally here, users can now head over to their settings page and set a webhook that will be used when uploading to CordX. We had this feature previously but it was very quickly shut down by discord and their rate limits, which is why this time around we are running all webhook requests through our proxy.Custom Domains
Our new custom domain system is our biggest change and with it comes a ton of security implementations and changes, with this change users can now add a custom domain to their account, verify it with a custom txt record and use it for all of their uploads.Domain Verification
Domain verification is handled using nodes built in DNS module, once you add a custom domain we will validate its content, ensure it doesn't contain any blacklisted characters and created a unique content string that you can use to verify the domain within your DNS host or provider.Re-Designed Settings
Along with the changes listed above came a ton of styling and layout changes within our "User Settings" page, these changes add support for adding a domain, setting a domain, adding a new webhook and regenerating a secret.Blacklisted Keywords
Blacklisted keywords is a array/list of keywords we use to check against domains to ensure they abide by our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at all times, if you are adding a domain and see a error saying the domain is blacklisted this feature here will be the cause. For reference you can find a list of blacklisted keywords hereVerification Page
These new changes have also brought out a entirely new page that users will find themselves visiting more often then not when using custom domains, and that is our/verify page. This page is responsible for showing you the information you need
to properly verify your domain withing your DNS provider and our services together.
DNS - Restful API
Now that these changes are implemented and working as expected our development team has began working on a new Restful API that will be used primarily for handling all of our DNS/Custom Domain related events and actions. Currently this is handled internally in the website API. The DNS API will be open-source as most of our services/projects are.Ending Statement
That is pretty much all we got for you this month, we are looking forward to all the upcoming changes and are excited to share them with you all, with that being said this will conclude our first ever monthly recap.
