Hello everyone, we are aware of an older avatar with the same name suddenly getting a lot more items ever since this Ichigo's release; this will be adjusted next week.

Hello everyone, we just indexed Ichigo along with all her items on our website. 🔗 boothplorer.com/avatar/7328789

Hello everyone, BOOTHPLORER will be offline for around the whole day starting 14:00 UTC for the migration and release of version 2.0/rewrite. The website will be unreachable during this maintenance/migration.

Hello everyone, the website will be unreachable during the early afternoon (in UTC) on July 7th for the release of version 2.0/the rewrite. Another post will be made closer to the maintenance time containing estimated downtime duration and other information.

...very soon! pinky promise.

BOOTHPLORER has been updated to 1.04.018: blog.boothplorer.com/post/7860479...

Hello everyone, due to issues found while preparing the release of the rewrite on our staging server using the live database we have to unfortunately push back the release of the rewrite for somewhere this month. We are disappointed, but this is the right call while keeping 1.0 up for a bit longer.

Hello everyone, over the few coming days we will be performing test migrations to convert the live Database to the new Database structure from the rewrite. The website might be slower at times this week between 16:00 to 22:00 UTC.

Hello everyone, we have hidden over 450+ items from our website for being 'promotional items'; items that actually don't sell anything and are made as a way to promote an update, sale or anything else for an existing item from the seller.

Want to unlock our Web API this year and are you a frequent user of Discord? Be sure to join our Discord server and opt into the "API Tester" role found in the on-boarding! We are absolutely thrilled to collect feedback from people interested in this development using "37DKqN9Y"!

It really is easier than you think! This VICE article by Ana Valens gives a quick run-down for things to look out for, in case you didn't know (or need a refresher)! www.vice.com/en/article/e... With a mention to us as a way for finding content from BOOTH easier.

Hello everyone, we pushed out a couple of minor fixes to live which should speed up the loading of images fetched from BOOTH's image CDN while we prepare to mirror them to our own CDN starting 2.0. These fixes work the best in instances where their image CDN has too much load.

Hello everyone. It's been 190 days since we last shared any kind of blog post about the project. The last time we did was for the release of 1.04.016. With that said, we are bringing back the long posts! You can read more at the link below. blog.boothplorer.com/post/7821169...

Hello everyone, the provider of our improvements to our DNS is not working for some users situated in America. As such, we will be doing this process again, switching to Cloudflare. We do not expect any downtime as we prepare for this move. Thank you for your continued support!

Hello everyone, we are happy to announce the availability of a status page! This gives users a centralized way of tracking current/past issues affecting BOOTHPLORER. 🌍 status.boothplorer.com

Hello everyone, a hour ago or so BOOTHPLORER was unreachable for ~10 minutes as we have been implementing some changes to our DNS that should speed up initial load times to our website while allowing us to add additional security measures. Thank you for your continued support!

Hello everyone, we pushed some minor fixes to live which fixes items sometimes not being indexed for avatars and to keep our current code-base's "avatar scraping queue" uninterrupted.

Hello everyone, over the next hour we will be indexing additional avatars onto BOOTHPLORER. We wanted to take this time to mention that starting the release of 2.0 in early June that you will also be able to 'nominate' avatars for indexing on BOOTHPLORER.

hope I am not too late to show this off lol - in screenshot: Searching & blocking multiple keywords in search to find hairs - Japanese keywords get translated to English for an even better search experience - and some other stuff in this image for @boothplorer.com 2.0 coming early this year

Welcome to Ep 56 of Noved Notes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKZz... I sit with @sasch.boothplorer.com , creator of @boothplorer.com a site that catalogs and indexes everything on the Booth Store and makes it easier and simpler to find items for avatars, as well as World assets! #vrchat #podcast

Hello everyone, we have gotten a significant amount of requests to list Yugiri. Truth to be told, it would not be responsible for us to do so. Just because an item for Kikyo is workin on Kikyo's *body*, doesn't mean that same asset would work on Yugiri's *head*.

Hello everyone, we have updated our face tracking data. 7 avatars have been given/marked as having face tracking support from third party creators. In relevant note, with our 2.0 update we will be able to automatically assign face tracking assets to avatars; this is currently done manually.

Hello everyone, we have updated our face tracking data. Some avatars like Milltina and Zil S(econd) have had multiple packages released since our last update. Progress on our next website update is going steadily and we aim to have 2.0 ready early this year with many new and improved features.

Hello everyone, we have indexed and listed 17 additional avatars on our website. These are mostly new releases, including a new MARUBODY avatar and a few +Head avatars. It might take a little moment for these avatars to be populated with items, if any exist for them.

Hello everyone, we have indexed Milltina by DOLOS art into our database! A few assets for Milltina already exist and will be fetched & indexed into our website very soon along with any other new assets made for her.

We are back! Thank you for your patience. 🔗 boothplorer.com

BOOTHPLORER will be inaccessible for the next 8 hours as our hosting provider is performing a datacenter migration. We knew this ourselves for a little while, but we completely forgot to mention it anywhere: our mistake which we want to sincerely apologise for.

We have been receiving questions regarding mio3io's announcement on X and how this affects the display of their avatars on BOOTHPLORER: Nothing changes except for their "price" being set to "Not For Sale". Any items made and sold on BOOTH after/before the delisting will continue to be indexed.

Hello everyone, we have indexed and listed 36 additional avatars on our website. These are mostly new releases & male avatars. It might take a little moment for these avatars to be populated with items, if any exist for them.

Hello everyone, we have updated our face tracking data. Some avatars like Chocolat and Marycia have had multiple packages released since our last update. We are looking into having a major website update ready for during Lunar New Year or near the end of February.

This bug has been fixed since the start of this weekend. We will be performing more updates and changes to make item fetching a more efficient process on our side later this month.

Hello everyone, we have indexed and listed Marycia on our website. boothplorer.com/avatar/marycia We will be working on indexing more avatars and new face tracking modules more efficiently with an upcoming website update, releasing this or next week.

Hello everyone, we have indexed and listed additional avatars on our website. boothplorer.com/avatar/choco... boothplorer.com/avatar/isaac boothplorer.com/avatar/lugha... boothplorer.com/avatar/ririka

Hello everyone, we would like to wish you all great holidays and wish to thank you all for your support this year. Our work on the rewrite continues and can't wait to share information on this as development continues on the project as a whole.

BUDDYWORKS is teaming up with @boothplorer.com ! Seeing our projects grow into what they are today is truly something special, and I want to express special gratitude to everyone involved. Cheers to that~

Hello everyone, we fixed several bugs following our release on our new web server and are continuously monitoring our logs to check for issues; if something does not work then please give us a (few) day(s) to affirm the error and fix it, or poke us on Discord. Thank you for your continued support.

Hello everyone, we have renewed our SSL certificate with our new IP and are seeing traffic shifting to our new nameserver. We also released 1.04.017 which adds support for automated deployments, our new tech stack and updates packages for more performance & security.

Hello everyone, we have provisioned our new server for automated deploys and converted our current website to support our new stack. This makes it easier for us to maintain and update the current (legacy) website. DNS records will take between 24-48 hours to update, thank you for your patience.

Hello everyone, the website will be unreachable later today as we are switching web server hosts and DNS. The region of our hosts will remain the same (Amsterdam), but it might take a little bit for DNS records to update. We will post an update when we perform the switch.

Hello everyone, we just performed a small patch which adds a "Newest by Date" sorting option to avatar pages for their items. This makes it easier to find old items which have been updated to fit new bases. The "Newest" sorting option has been changed to "Newest by ID" and will remain the default.

Hello everyone, we are and have been indexing new avatars over time on BOOTHPLORER. For now, we want to refer you to our Discord if you wish to stay up to date with these additions until the next update where we plan to detail these updates on the website.

Hello everyone, over the past weekend we have seen a very high failure rate of scraping BOOTH because of our proxy providers' connectivity. This is very severe as we rely on proxies to be able to connect to BOOTH, despite us barely hitting their endpoints.

Hello everyone, we just released a small patch to 1.04.016 (live) which moves all of our cached data into memory. In more simple terms: stuff is even faster now! wowza! Thank you for your continued usage and support of BOOTHPLORER.

Hello everyone, after some consideration with our attendance at VKet along with certain housekeeping tasks that are better done sooner than later (moving web host, updating our stack, etc.) we have decided to delay this update to be somewhere this year instead.

Another one to the collection.

New logo, who's this?

Hello everyone, following numerous reports of the search bar not functioning we have temporarily hidden the search bar and locked the endpoint; we are performing some changes to the front-end for 1.04.020, which addresses these reports. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello everyone, we have scheduled 1.04.020 for release on November 17th 19:00 UTC. The maintenance window is expected to take a maximum of 3 hours as this update involves major features and important updates to packages & software we use.

Hello everyone, we just applied some additional changes to further improve the speed of searching avatars and items on our website in a general context. This primarily affects: - Home page - Search bar - World assets overview Thank you for your continued support!
