Hi kazade.

I'm very interested in the API. Where can I get deeper information about that?

I remember doing a post about this before https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewto ... 18#p100518

Being fairly new to the Dreampi way of connecting online with the Sega Dreamcast, I am often on my phone just refreshing the page to see if it changes the game I am might to be online playing (4x4 Evo always shows I'm playing online with Planet Ring).

So if there were to be an update what things would you like to see?

I've listed a couple of things that I personally would think would make a difference:

- Online since time (Login time)
- More than past three games online previously (Just to fill the space maybe two more icons)
- Send Messages (maybe a DC-Talk PM option etc)
- Adding the DC-Talk or other chat screen to the page
- Icon for leaderboard winners etc

Well mine may not be some of the best ideas but I'm sure that a lot of you will have some good ones.

It would be awesome if there could be a chat function, that would make Dreamcast Now into the 1-stop place to go online :)
