Introduction

Around a year and a half ago now I got intrested in the Roblox Open Cloud, specifically the use of datastores. Ever since then I’ve been devleoping DataMate which was mostly a project for myself. But at the start of last year I decided I would try to make it public for all developers, you may have seen my previous DataMate software which served the same purpose however it was ridden with errors and bugs specifically when it came to larger games. This is the main problem I decided to address with the new version. This is the old version for reference: DataMate - Gain Full Control Over Your DataStores Via The Web - Resources / Community Resources - Developer Forum | Roblox. After the success and positive feedback along with the bug reports I decided to update it from scratch also using new V2 API’s. The previous version of DataMate was used in games totaling 50+ million visits, 300+ games and 500+ developers.

Features

With DataMate you have access to the following features for your datastores:

• Standard DataStores
• Ordered DataStores
• List DataStores
• Search DataStores
• Snapshot DataStores
• List Entries
• Search Entries
• Get Entries
• Get Entry Metadata
• Set Entry
• Delete Entries
• Increment Entries
• Edit Entries

Still not 100% sure what it is? Think of it as a web based version of the DataStore Editor plugin with more features.

Whats New?

So whats new with this version of DataMate compared to the old one.

• Ordered DataStores are fully supported as well as Standard DataStores
• Ability to handle experiences which had more DataStores than those that hit the Rescource Exhausted limit
• Ability to Search DataStores
• Ability to Search Enties
• Snapshotting DataStores

I like the website (Bulk Brains) but I do think it’s UI is a bit… outdated and could definitely be redone. The products are super nice but the UI can make the experience less enjoyable. It looks like you’re just using HTML and Vanilla JS which works, but doesn’t offer many features that would make the website more engaging. Try out a frontend framework like React or Vue.

Like I said, the product itself is amazing but it just seems like less effort was put into the UI. Some other things I noticed about the UI is it doesn’t scale well. You used rigid sizes so if someone had like half and half, they couldn’t use it properly. The icons/logos for things like Rope and DataMate are eh, gradients would go a long way. As well as an nginx error.

Overall, good idea! Will try it out more.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I’m more of a backend dev but I’m constantly trying to improve my design skills. I had originally decided to only support larger displays (laptops and desktops) but thanks for pointing out about split screen and also I’m aware that in ToolBox even on laptops the text can get a bit cut off.
