Eight first ships land, two come straight back

Twenty ships in all across the day we saw, and not one of them carries a multiplier or a payout yet.

Eight of the twenty ships we saw on 19 August were first ships. Sushmita's Domestic Violence Advocacy, pixi's personal website at 24 logged hours, Jhenil's LifeLab at 17, magali's An about me site at 3 and hamidcc's My own site! at 2 were all approved; szymon_cyb13's LMIC-MC-BOT, with 20 hours behind it, sits pending. espees shipped shoot with 14 hours and COYG_KNGPLCJMS shipped Game in 5 hours with 4, and both came back returned.

None of the day's ships has a multiplier or payout attached, which is normal: rating arrives days after a ship goes out. The rest of the day we saw was small, 85 devlogs and 249.3 hours from 67 authors across 68 projects, the lowest counts in the thirty days of daily figures we hold. Our crawl still has 20,177 pages pending, so read the totals as what we managed to see.

In brief

  1. Streaks pass eighty days

    torkel logged an 80th consecutive day, with Light on 77 and devlsx on 74. torkel spent 6.7 hours on obliberry, working on persistent entities via a tag.

  2. Flux-OS ships at 52 hours

    AbhiramB's second ship of Flux-OS carried 52 logged hours, the largest hour count among the ships we saw. He also put 8.8 hours into the project on the day, and the ship is approved but unrated.

  3. Hardware skips integrity review

    A note in chat said hardware projects now bypass integrity review entirely, with everything handled at the YSWS review step, and that a resync button recovers projects that previously failed to clone across. The zeitgeist timeout was raised from 5 minutes to 10 after dependency checks kept failing.

  4. Two ships from one account

    aadityanbalaji put out two second ships on the same day: my personal site at 4 logged hours and Death Note OS at 5. Both were approved.

  5. Stardust without the hours

    RespectableDot topped the gainers with 166.4 hours added and 3,195 stardust. Ansh904 picked up 1,342 stardust while adding no hours at all.
