Monthly Updates [Jan] Happy New Year!

Published 2024-01-01

Happy New Year everyone! We've made a lot of progress this year.

Hi everyone, happy new year! As we bid farewell to '23, let's take a moment to reflect on the remarkable journey Wiki-Index has had this year:

We made a new website, enriched with an array of handcrafted features (by me, of course) to enhance your experience and make browsing the wiki pleasant on all devices (mobile included!).
We've reached 1k+ views!
Our Wiki-Index repository merged over 200 commits!
This wiki has grown to be more than just a piracy index, so we felt it's about time other sections get some love. As such, we organized and separated tools sections into their own pages, which allowed us to move a lot of useful tools out of storage and make it a lot easier to discover them.
We started the debloat arc of Wiki-Index! We've removed a lot of dead, useless, and niche links / categories, as well as re-organized a lot of sections for better clarity and easier navigation.

As we enter 2024, we eagerly anticipate building on our achievements and evolving together. Wiki-Index wouldn't be what it is today without the love and support of everyone in this community. Thank you for being an integral part of Wiki-Index. Here's to another year of growth and success! 💙

Things Removed

Removed SevenGamers as they've decided to shut down.
Removed YasDL as they uploaded a version of StarDock with the same malware that filecr and others have gotten removed for.
Removed Torrentz2 as they've stopped indexing new torrents.
Removed LookMovie as they've added a 10-second wait before videos play.
Removed DS4Windows in gaming tools. You can just add games to Steam and turn on PS4 controller support by right-clicking the game.
Removed Ideogram as it's no longer unlimited.
Removed EveryNoiseAtOnce as the dev has been let go from Spotify.
Removed CryptoStorm as it's possibly unsafe. The owner has no ties to it anymore apparently, but it's still hard to trust a company with a history this dark.
Removed our backups from NotABug. Their site goes down nearly every day at this point, and it's become a nightmare to keep 25 wiki pages updated there. If they ever fix their issues we may bring it back.
