== History ==

EnduraNet was created by Sirdog in late April of 2025 as a project to see if he could ~~work with databases~~ and ~~display the information via~~ a ~~front-end website~~. ~~For certification tracking, which was the~~ original ~~intended~~ goal~~, when ''practical'',~~ using a database ~~is preferable to manual tracking~~ for ~~[https://blog.airtable.com/~~database-~~vs-spreadsheet/ many reasons]~~.

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.

~~The project eventually resulted in a~~ [[wikipedia:Minimum viable product|minimum viable product]] ~~with version 0.1.0 releasing~~ on April 29th, 2025. Soon after, [[wikipedia:Version control|version controlling]] was introduced with GitHub, and SierraKomodo began to contribute to it's codebase~~, bringing considerable programming knowledge which Sirdog lacked~~.

== Logo ==

To make the ~~EnduraNet website~~ visually distinct from ~~the rest of the~~ Endurance Coalition's services~~, a logo specifically for it was created by Sirdog~~. Inspired by the official community logo, the notable differences are: the database icon ~~replacing~~ the NATO star, the background color changed to <code>#200d3b</code> (dark purple) from the original's <code>#020b41</code> (dark blue), and the golden rope flipped to go counter-clockwise.

A logo specific to EnduraNet was made by Sirdog to make the relevant web page's 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 official logo, taken from [[commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] items marked as in the [[wikipedia:Public domain|public domain]].

== Structure ==

EnduraNet is stored on a ~~single~~ MariaDB database located on the Endurance Coalition server inside a Docker image~~. The front end uses Bootstrap for it's visual CSS, Datatables for data presentation, and Select2 for it's searchable dropdowns. It is primarily coded in PHP, with HTML and CSS used for styling~~.
