          You guys realize that Stepmix is pad charting, right?

            github is just hosting the repository that you clone local copies of. making patches is and most likely what you are going to be doing with git in this case. to do this, refer to: http://ariejan.net/2009/10/26/how-to...atch-with-git/

                well most of us don't usually step for pad, so our output might be bad, which wouldn't be too rad

                  It needs to be able to pass the .sm file as a hash to check for exactly the same files because right now it only uses the song title and subtitle.

                  If it ever comes to it you could probably convince houkounchi to host the new smo and just redirect to smo.net and sm.com etc..

                    I dunno about a forced updater but it'd at least need a way to say "go update the damn game!"

                    This is actually built into the engine, SMO just doesn't use it.

                    If it ever comes to it you could probably convince houkounchi to host the new smo and just redirect to smo.net and sm.com etc..
                    Yeah, something like that would be viable, probably.

                      shakesoda outta nowhere

                      http://www.stepmania.com/ has been moved to the new design. if you need something that was on the old site that somehow wasn't already broken it's at old.stepmania.com.

                      I haven't got a bunch of the features I want to be on the site rolled out but unlike the other thing it at least functions.

                          Looks really clean and simple

                          One thing I'd recommend is having a "Getting Started" page or something to that degree. Some kind of basic introduction as to what StepMania actually is. Having the tiny little box at the top of the home page really isnt sufficient and the list of blog posts doesn't really need to be shown to new players going to the site to download it for the first time. Consider the audience a little better maybe because I don't think your home page is really working as well as it could.

                          My two cents at least..

                            completely forgot this was a thing. I'll try to start semi-frequenting, especially while out and about because it looks AMAZING on mobile.

                            oop looks like I gotta update my SM client

                                Yeah, the main page isn't very noob friendly and a getting started page is a good idea. I just haven't had time to dedicate to designing + writing that up.
