Skin Explorer

Changelog

v1.1.1

January 12th, 2022
  • Fixed bug that prevented site from updating due to a universe (Steel Valkyries) with no skinlines in the game files.

v1.1.0

January 12th, 2022
  • Skins now have a SkinSpotlights jumplink. Implementation is a bit rudimentary, but it serves the purpose (for now).
  • OpenSearch support! Skin Explorer now registers as a search engine in the browser so you can search without even loading the website.
  • All data is now cached at build time instead of coming from the Redis cache at runtime, including the resources needed for dynamic routes like the Omnisearch API.

v1.0.6

January 5th, 2022
  • Fixed placeholder images not loading sometimes.
  • Fixed spacing on info popup in skin viewer on small screens.

v1.0.5

January 5th, 2022
  • Modified robots.txt to disallow internal pages.

v1.0.4

January 5th, 2022
  • Added a "new additions" section on all indexes that shows all the skins in the PBE that aren't on the live patch. Maybe there's a better way to determine these, but I'll revisit it later.
  • Added a placeholder image for non-existent images (as happens often with newly released skins).
  • Minor styling changes.

v1.0.3

January 4th, 2022
  • Turns out skinlines can be empty. Weird. Fixed fatal bugs on universe and skinline pages.
  • Added a download button to the skin viewer. (Shortcut: D)
  • Fixed Wukong Teemo.GG hyperlink.
