== History ==

EnduraNet was created by Sirdog in late April of 2025 as a project to see if he could learn how to take information in a database and present it on a public facing web page. The original goal of EnduraNet was to track certifications. Sirdog desired using a database for this so that EDC could leverage all of the benefits which come with using a database; automatic determination of expiry, highly-customizable querying of information, and so on.[[File:Enduranet-mvp.png|thumb|425x425px|Screenshot of EnduraNet v0.1.0.]]

A [[wikipedia:Minimum viable product|minimum viable product]] released on April 29. Soon after the application became [[wikipedia:Version control|version controlled]] on a private GitHub repository.

On July 1, Discord [[wikipedia:Single sign-on|single sign-on]], [[wikipedia:Create, read, update and delete|CRUD]] operations, and Discord account based permissions were implemented. This introduced the ability for information such as members, certifications, and certification history to be changed with front-facing forms rather than manually editing the database. An administrative panel was also introduced which gave EDC leadership the means to selectively decide which members could perform what operations.

An administrative panel was also introduced which gave EDC leadership the means to selectively decide which members could perform what operations.

On August 27 the project was suspended by Sirdog due to a lack of rekindling interest in Arma within the community despite on-going development. The decision to suspend the application's development was more or less finalized after Sirdog received verbal confirmation from Fleff on August 26 that the [[Arma 3 metagame|Arma metagame]] was unlikely to resume implementation in the near future. The project may or may not return based on future developments.

== Logo ==

A logo specific to EnduraNet was made by Sirdog to make it visually distinct from other Endurance Coalition services (such as this wiki). Inspired by the [[:File:EDCLogo.png|official community logo]], the notable differences are that the database icon replaces the NATO star, the background color was changed to <code>#200d3b</code> (dark purple) from the original's <code>#020b41</code> (dark blue), and the golden rope was flipped to go counter-clockwise.

The logo was created in [[wikipedia:GIMP|GIMP]] with all assets, aside from ~~the one's of~~ the EDC logo, ~~taken~~ from [[~~commons~~:~~Main Page~~|~~Wikimedia Commons~~]] ~~items marked as in the~~ [[~~wikipedia~~:~~Public domain~~|~~public domain~~]].
