MyBB Status Updates (in development)

#11
Thank you for the kind words. We're very excited about this.

It's largely on a short ~3 week hiatus while I wrap up this semester. I'm a senior at university full time, and have been working 40 hours a week while I still have a job. The coronavirus madness has had me a lot busier than expected.

A lot of more advanced features are being scheduled for the second release. The initial release is focused on stability (and on being in general ready for release). One advantage that we have on this one is that we are ONLY doing a status plugin. I believe strongly in doing one thing and doing it well. MyProfile had a large collection of plugins to maintain, which made adding features a little more difficult.

I am working hard to make sure that this one is stable and easier to maintain in coming years. I'd ideally like to do a separate plugin to reorganize the template on the profile to a more IPB-like look, but there has been some talk among other MyBB developers of someone else who may be doing this soon. If they want to take that on, I can focus on this, and we'll have a proper collection of profile plugins that are more modular and easier to maintain.

It's also nice that we are getting TONS of user feedback and testing in on a live install of this as we develop. It's been difficult to maintain up-to-date versions of it as I develop, but it's been worth it. We already have live forums that have agreed to install the final beta (when it comes out) on their communities ahead of the release. I'm honored that we're trusted well enough for members of the community to help us test. Smile

That said, I'm very nervous about this one. I'm glad there are some people who have expressed some interest in contributing. It's a large plugin compared some of my past ones.
