V2️⃣ is live 💜

It has been several months since we began working on releasing V2️⃣.

Two observations forced us to make significant changes to the site:

🐢 The site was getting slower and slower.

Indeed, with the accumulation of data and the initial design of VAINKEURZ, it became quite difficult to create TopList. In addition, some functions were not optimized to process so much data, which caused bugs such as in the calculation of creators' KEURZ.

🔥 Inspired by the Flammes website We took on the challenge of developing the flammesawards website in the spring. It was our code, but above all VAINKEURZ algorithm VAINKEURZ enabled the jury to vote for their favorite artists. The website recorded more than 10 million votes in 10 days. To handle this load, we developed an API and used best practices that we hadn't used for VAINKEURZ.com. Since it went so well for LesFlammes, we wanted to reuse it for the new version of VAINKEURZ.

We therefore developed this new version around three main areas:

🤖 Technically, developing an API and reviewing our storage system should guarantee us a smooth-running, bug-free website for the coming months (the bug hunt is on 🥶).

💜 Graphically, we wanted to change the navigation to simplify it on the one hand, but also to update the site's graphic charter while retaining its purple DNA.

🤩 Functionally (I'm not sure if that's the right word), but what I mean is that beyond the technology and design, there are also new features such as the ability to create Tops without being a creator, Rooms, the Commu space, the new Home...

We will be launching this new version in several stages. So features such as notifications will be back soon, along with other new developments 🚀
