Pocket Dragons Tech Update
One week since the
@Pocket_Dragons_ Hatchery opened. It’s time for a Tech update. 🔥
The numbers first:
- 6,500+ Keeper cards created. That's 6,500+ of you who walked the whole journey, finished each onboarding step, connected, and got recorded.
- 5,300+ Keepers onboarded within the first 48 hours, gaining the early supporter badge
- Far far more came through the doors and looked around.
- We trended on X three times.
- Huge traffic on launch day and after, and the Hatchery held. No downtime, no lost records.
The feedback from the community, from partners and from some serious names in crypto and NFTs has been the best week we've had. Thank you.
While all of that was happening, we kept shipping. Since launch day: 26 changes across 159 files, every one of them passing 1,400+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
Done Fixes and hardening:
- Smarter handling of X rate limits and follow checks, so verification stays fast when thousands arrive at once
- Improved Keeper card rendering
- Showing X profile pictures properly
- Support tooling so we can find and fix any Keeper's record in minutes
- Mobile Ledger layout fixes for iPhone
- We now remember longer you finishing the onboarding and connecting with X. So next time visiting the website you don’t have to repeatedly enter the code and awaken the egg
New this week: Launching Keeper Quests now.
- A quest board with four quests to earn new badges: Chronicler, Standard Bearer, and two secret rites you'll have to discover
- Standard Bearer is detected automatically from your DRGN server tag on Discord, and stays only while you wear it
- Four new badge designs by Godwin, as real 3D seals
- Improved ceremony for every new badge, with a badge you can grab, throw, spin and flip
- Open any badge from your collection and inspect it up close
- The Keeper Ledger now ranks by badges: most seals first, then who got there first, with every seal shown and named
More quests and features are coming. I am working on a cool new one for next week 👀🤫
We are a lean team of 4.
Less people but cost-efficient.
Already shipping higher quality and more than most existing teams.
With our very long experiences in crypto/nfts, skills and passion, we will make sure Pocket Dragons turns into a blue chip of this and future cycles.
We are hungry for setting new standards.
Hungry for art and animations.
Hungry for tech.
Hungry for marketing and communication.
Hungry for building an awesome community.
Hungry for staying relevant longterm.
Hungry for winning, winning together!
