Recent updates to Multiverse Feedback: (Generated at 2025-08-31 13:14:53)
TBH I think it's mainly my fault. I implemented a bunch of caching, several years back, to try to alleviate server load. That basically works; the site is faster now, especially on high-traffic cardsets (hah), than before I did that. But it caches too much and exceeds its memory quota. Eventually that builds up and the server uses so much memory that Heroku kills it and it has to restart.
Huh. I'm a LOT less sympathetic to them about the "Heroku has fallen down and can't get up" outages, if you're actually paying them for this.
Panic over, I suppose. Turns out as of a couple of years ago I'm paying $16 per month, which is $9/m for the database and $7/m for the "hobby dynos" that run the server.
I suspect I could get rather better performance for quite a lot less money if I were to move to something like AWS. (The URL would stay the same, as would the immediate hosting technology, Ruby on Rails; but the provider would change.) I'd need to take care of things like Ruby updates myself and be more vulnerable to security issues and suchlike, but it might still be worth it. But, well, as people are sadly rather aware, I'm not taking much time to maintain this site any more :/
Still, outdated and crusty and creaking as Multiverse is, seems like it's not going anywhere in the short term.
ha! turns out I'm already paying them for both halves. Phew, I guess?

What is the cost to maintain this site, and what do you expect it to go to? There don't seem to be that many active users, so I don't imagine a paid tier here would have a big impact, but I'm curious

I am not sure what color to put (because it is a feature suggestion to disallow instead of to allow something), so I didn't put it.
Here are the assets.
I would assume they would then be made to work in the manner of other hybrids, so {CW}, {CU}, {CB}, {CR}, and {CG}.
Additionally, having card frame colors of "Hybrid colorless-red" and so on would be neat but by no means necessary from the get-go.
I think, it's just something silly like the word "artifact" containing an 'r' and the colors using just their letter as identifier. :)
Maybe it is the OR searching, even though AND may be wanted instead; maybe it is an entirely different criteria. I don't know, though (I had not managed to get the search to work at all, but managed to search by downloading the XML.) (I would want to search by SQL, which can avoid this problem.)
E.g. using search for the type "Cleric" with the frame "Red" will yield Sculptor Medic and Ivory Priest in the results.
See for example Till of Thamuzus
Mm. Yeah, this is one of the biggest capabilities missing from Multiverse. You've not done anything wrong... well, except that this has been requested a few times before: Multiple cardset admins, Grant Admin to Individuals, Admin list, Selective cardset administrator, Granting Admin Status to Specific Users.
I really wish I had time to work on some key Multiverse features like this.
Awesome, thanks for looking into it
Yay! I checked in during that time and I was considering emailing you. I'm glad everything is alright. I know I'm not here so much anymore, but I still love this place.

I'm happy that you were able to bring Multiverse back. Thank you!
