Sorry I'm basically asking for free work here, I'm just sort of stuck on that…

I'll see what I can do after I'm done decompiling the 2.0 online editor (even if we decide to implement 3.0 compatibility on the server and not the frontend or something, we still have to change the colors to match the rest of the website and fix hard-coded urls in the embed player, and binary patching is kinda hacky)

Also, I noticed that the WWW is currently broken. That's my fault, I moved the urls that correspond to hosts on the real Scratch website to a new /hosts path:

In bin/set-env.sh, this:

export API_HOST=/api
export ASSET_HOST=/assets
export BACKPACK_HOST=/backpack
export PROJECT_HOST=/projectshost
export STATIC_HOST=/uploads

becomes the following:

export API_HOST=/hosts/api
export ASSET_HOST=/hosts/assets
export BACKPACK_HOST=/hosts/backpack
export CLOUDDATA_HOST=/hosts/clouddata
export PROJECT_HOST=/hosts/projects
export STATIC_HOST=/hosts/uploads

Also, when Codeberg gets back up, I'll add support for the 2.0 media libraries, which require their assets to be in APIClone's assets directory. As such, to make it work, you should copy every asset from the Scratch 2.0 Offline Editor's /media directory to /files/assets.

I managed to link scratch-paint and scratch-editor's scratch-gui using npm install –save ../../../scratch-paint, but when I open the paint editor, it just crashes

Well you see, I've been neglecting to re-compile scratch-www until I get the forks working properly. I mean I could just revert it to vanilla scratch-gui but that's not ideal…

I would like to note that the age shown on my profile's admin panel is inaccurate. Perhaps you can do something like `datetime.datetime.now().date() - datetime.date(1970, 1, 1)`, where the second operand is the birth date?

One last thing: I just adjusted the nginx config a bit, will update scratch-gui-tw and scratchschools later.

Ok for real this time this is the last thing… Is it just me or do anons get the admin panel HTML?

I think it's just you, except for the admin panel iframe used for the WWW project and studio pages, I kinda forgot to make these admin-only.

My bad, I went to https://tw.scr.chipmunk.land/hosts/ after having logged in from another subdomain, forgetting that sessions are shared between them…

I'm sorry, I think I was wrong about the age thing. I forgot Scratch doesn't use full dates, and it turns out I had the wrong month set on mine anyway… Now I can't update my profile from the admin panel since I have to set a Featured project label though.

Oops, my bad! Lemme fix that rq.

Is it intentional that /ngapi/ is not under /hosts/? I mean it's not part of the current Scratch API nor a subdomain (unsure if this will change), but at the same time it's not part of scratchr2 either.
Also, how should I patch it to fix project pages? Sorry, I'm too lazy to figure it out.

Whoops, I accidentally made it check if the QuerySet.exists() function exists instead of calling it, sorry! This should be fixed in the latest commit.

The code for checking if the user is on r2 was really weak on the notifications page, this should be fixed too. (According to scratchr2_translations, Scratch 2.0 had no join notification, which kinda makes sense since the 2.0 registration modal already had a Welcome slide).

The r2. subdomain became not r2-only due to the context processor changing and me not adapting it, anyway I merged the latest commit(s)!

Unsure if it's my fault, but clicking the comment form without being logged in no longer shows me a modal

My bad, I accidentally broke it while refactoring the template's code ._. It should be fixed now.
