• Features:

  • Create a website called Graveboards, where we show beatmap pages and profile pages and display scores and leaderboards, while also creating a new homepage alternative to osu! website.
  • Create filters in our own database so that finding maps becomes easier for everyone.
  • Create new star rating and pp system.
  • Create social media features such as playlists, likes, favorites, etc.
  • Create map previews so people will see and check the map before downloading it.
  • Create an algorithm for beatmaps recommendations.

• Limitations:

  • We don't aim to replace bancho or the main branch of osu! like a private server. We aim to expand the current possibilities that bancho allow us to do.
