Milestone Two: Build 8 Is Here, and It’s a Big One | Tavrn Development Blog
We’ve officially reached Build 8 — our second milestone — and Tavrn is starting to feel like a real platform. This post covers our new server system, real-time messaging, roles, settings, and a few things we’re still keeping under wraps (👀).
We lost our entire codebase.
So we rebuilt our entire DM system... in just 3 days.
Now it's faster, cleaner, and better than ever.
Here’s how we pulled it off: https://blog.tavrn.top/posts/rebuilt-in-3-days-dms-are-back--and-better-than-ever/
