Developer Hub Update

Yeah I see it too, in that screenshot you provided, so it’s not your monitor / PC.

It would be great if these would link to whatever page contains everything with the tag

As far as I know, tags are mostly used for search indexing.
It certainly would be nice if the DevHub had category pages though.

That’s one of the things that’s always bothered me with the wiki and now devhub. I want pages that aggregate other pages. If this were wikipedia, there would be links to the pages for:

  • What an event is
  • What a connection is
  • A list of all events

Technically there are pages for those first two:

https://www.robloxdev.com/api-reference/datatype/RBXScriptSignal
https://www.robloxdev.com/api-reference/datatype/RBXScriptConnection

but they aren’t linked are they

Wikipedia is great because of the way every page connects to every other relevent page. The Devhub currently feels like it forces me to make use of the search engine to find relevent pages which is extremely frustrating for multiple reasons (see: Ex1 Ex2).

They are linked, but only sometimes (which is a problem that needs to be fixed).
If the member is directly inherited, then it correctly uses the type linking system I made.
In the case of inherited members, they aren’t using the right template for it.

Your frustration is warranted. A lot of this frankly should be fixed by now and I don’t know whats holding things up. Perhaps there are still some hurdles that are being worked out internally, I’m not sure. I just hope things get better soon because I really wanted this to be something much better than it ended up being.

Another thing, I have to scroll sooooooooooooo far in order to see events, why is there not a quick access tab at the top? The quick access on the right is completely useless because by the time a page is long enough for me to need it, the column itself requires almost as many scrolls as the body of the page

It saves me from like 4 scrolls out of a total of 25. Not only this but half of it may as well be in chinese. Look at these sausages of words / symbols

Tomorrow I might just write a giant megathread of design suggestions to help ease the use of the devhub because it feels like every time I try to use it, the user experience is so frustrating that it completely distracts me from development

Function signatures showing up in the quick access is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.

Hi, any word on these redirect + missing page problems being fixed? Ever since the developer hub was released, I’ve had to resort to using the Roblox Wikia because critical information like security context (I need to know where I can use members!) and parent class information has either been completely inaccessible or ridiculously difficult to access.

It’s being worked on.

Yeah, that’s been said a lot.

Admittedly I’m also frustrated with the lack of transparency regarding the progress, but I can assure you things are happening behind the scenes. I’m pushing for them to make updates and fixes continuously to the site instead of bundling them into large monthly patches. Once thats all ironed out, issues will start to be addressed more head-on, and you’ll see results much sooner.

The Search is still broken on mobile version of the site.
Whenever the keyboard pops up, it immediately hides and the Search goes back to the state as if I didn’t click on it at all.

I had the exact problem. Was trying to chill out on my balcony and enjoy the weather while planning a script out and tried to look up something on my phone but to no avail.

Hack: Turn on desktop mode, temporary fix

Yeah, but it’s highly inconvenient.
