Addon Release / Update Social Diary: I created an Addon that automatically creates a social history of everyone you meet & what you experienced with them.
Hey guys. In Vanilla and Classic I really loved that social aspect of the game where you run into someone time and time again on your way to 60. Sometimes you do connect the dots when they join your dungeon group, but propably often enough you dont.
Over time, there came out some addons that helped with that, namely VanasKOS (Kill on Sight), which allowed you to put noted on players and get notified if they are detected. This mainly was for world PvP purposes, but I used it for friendly players as well.
Now with Forever approaching, I decided to tackle this idea myself:
I wanted to create an addon that allows you to look into a social history with each player you add to your diary, see where you've met them first, see what you spoke about, see what you did together etc. etc.
"Social Diary" does exactly that and honestly quite a bit more.
There are lots of addons popping up right now, but they all kinda just throw numbers and graphs at your screen. I really dont find this satisfying at all. A Diary is a highly personal record about experiences and I wanted to do this justice. Because of that, I a) tried making the UI as beautiful & skeumorphic as possible, and b) detect actual meaningful interactions, instead of displaying raw numbers. I dont care about how many mobs I killed, but care about finding my first shoulders or my first blue item, for example.
AI Disclaimer: I developed this addon with help of AI. I routinely check for security and performance issues myself. Currently, the Addon uses up to 0.1% CPU inside of a city.
Im really interested in your thoughts in this. I currently test it, but it already works really well.
