Hey Everybody!

Here is the latest updates to UFO Slice!  I will do these updates when new features are added ?

YouTube API Quota Issues

YouTube allows 10,000 units to be called every day (video pulling, channel details etc), this is not 10,000 individual updates - this is units.  So, a call to YouTube's search function may use something like 200 units etc.
I found that towards the end of the day, my quota was being 100% utilised, so I had to write some different coding to counter this, and now the site should be absolutely fine.  ?

Extra Channel Added

I have added thirdphase UFO Report to the live site, great content, and was on my list to do, check it out at: https://ufoslice.com/c/thirdphase-ufo-report

Channel Options



I have added a new function to the channel pages which allows you to mark a channels videos as watched / un-watched.  

Sidebar Update



I have added the last time UFO Slice videos were last checked with YouTube's API.

Mobile Optimisation

Mobile viewing of UFO Slice now looks much better than the first release, will keep tweaking it, but overall I am really pleased!

Future Updates

  • Community Forum
  • Discord Announcements for New Videos / Events
  • Video Showcase
    • Some sort of leaderboard / list of top videos being watched
  • Discord Link to be added to Channel Page
  • Newsletter? - Not sure about this, but maybe
  • Photo Uploading

As with all new sites, there will be loads of small updates happening, however if you really would like a feature adding, please let me know using the Discord link, and I would be more than happy to look into it.

All the best, 

Tidy
