Literally this one right here is what I am the most concerned about. There are features going back to 2021 that are things that could really be useful to the community. And they haven't been implemented. Not only have they not been implemented, there's been no indications that they've been seen. I recognize that admin time is limited, but even just a post in the thread saying "we've seen your suggestion" would be a billion times better than the status quo of not knowing. Some of those features might be more complicated (API reading telegrams), others are just reformatting information that already exists/adding a line to the daily data dumps (minor update time shard, nation SPDR score added to dumps). I really don't want to sound like I'm complaining, but... it's inherently frustrating as a 3rd party developer to have to work around these problems and not even know if admin is seeing our posts about them.
