I feel strongly about them too, was thinking of going more flat with gradients only on backgrounds. Happy to share progress soon!

Also you can list things you dislike as well that I can fix. Light mode is part of the update.

This is partially because more and more AI-coded sites are using shadcn/ui component library (and some icons I'm using) that rphub was initially built on. It gives me low quality vibes nowadays, and there's no real consistency among the pages... needs fixin'.

That will stay, with more room for all of your OCs and communities

Can't scrounge the gil for dinner? Out at Buscarron's there are fish to catch catch so a cat won't go hungry. Join us tonight for open world, walk up role-play (and possibly fishing - Erah'sae is broke again) at Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus at 8PM US Eastern #ffxiv #ffxivrp

On the bridge just East of Buscarron's Druthers a cat uses the wrong bait to try and catch trout in the Hathoeva River. Someone should let him know about versatile lores.

The text reads:
Buscarron's Druthers
Open Word / Walk Up Roleplay
Mateus - The South Shroud
Tuesdays 5PM AND 8PM US Eastern.

Most importantly, it's perfect to try out new frameworks and design choices you wouldn't otherwise at a real job

I'm looking forward to what new websites this will spawn. We need that for so many different games. Are you thinking of Pearlhub?

RPhub isn't just an RP thing. if you want somewhere to keep your ffxiv characters organized that's enough. It makes me sad seeing people think they're not welcome, because you don't RP?? You absolutely are also you can set characters to private or friends only.

I'm loving this confused Urianger meme I commissioned from an rphub user. It's been the 404 page for a while, but I had to share. Thanks @mrhare00.bsky.social #FFXIV

Digital drawing of Urianger from Final Fantasy XIV looking confused at a scroll. A speech bubble says "THIS CANNOT BE ITS ENTIRETY. WHERE DOTH THE REMAINDER LIE?" The background is a dark color with "404" and "Page Not Found" text.

I definitely wouldn't say non-existent. There are a few people I know who have already found RP partners through the site. Now, with events and communities, there's a bigger opportunity, that and the upcoming lfrp section.

if you have an RP group, FC or otherwise i recommend putting it up on rphub's new communities section!!! you can do little writeups, track your plots/events, a staff section, a guestbook.. seems neat. it'll especially be great for FC/rp recruitment, which we sorely need rphub.co/communities

Hey! I had hoped I redesigned it enough to hide the shadcn look :( That's just react look :(

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

We're shifting to AGPLV3, just tackling last bugs so we can put Glance in dalamud open repo. Character IDs aren't account IDs; we only save them so name changes don't break verification (to protect from spoofing). Legal shifts in 2026 are moving fast, unfortunately legal scare is becoming reality

rphub is a fucking godsend dude. apparently they're adding a spot on the site specifically for RP FC recruitment, which has been one of my biggest bugbears for such a long time in the ffxiv community. i really hope it ends up being utilized bc we desperately need a localized place for them.

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

You can definitely play inspired characters or use custom mods! The main thing is that FFXIV stays the medium and setting. As long as your screenshots or art feel like they belong in Eorzea, youre good. We just draw the line at content that doesn't fit the game's universe to keep things focused.

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

It's clunky, but it's getting there. Settings offer a bit more control, I just want it to be less in the face. My game is already 90% plugin and 10 % ffxiv 🫠

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

OCs being posted on that ERP site without consent is disgusting. Also seeing some confusion: RPhub is NOT affiliated with that tinder project in any way. If you ever find your (or friend's) character on RPhub without permission, please let me know. I’ll personally banish them. Stay safe.

Didn't expect to get praise for the optimizer cramping 2.5MB to 250 KB. 😶‍🌫️ Glad it works!

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

This needs to be fixed. RPhub will soon be space that brings back RP to public, not behind closed (and hard to find) discord doors.

if your section doesn't look like this i'm legally obligated to delete the character

Waking up to see my character on the featured page on RPhub really really made my entire week...Hes been a character that Ive wanted to show more love too recently and this was really the push I needed to bring him more to life.

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

This is exact problem I had with other directories, but our featured characters are hand-picked to counter-act the popularity contests. There's no sorting by likes, or comments. Venue promotion is a good idea.

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

RPhub isn't for everyone, and that’s okay. If I built it just for myself, the layout would be hyper-specific to my tastes. Instead, I'm prioritizing a clean, accessible design that works for the majority of the RP community.

0120

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

RPhub can't replace creativity it takes to build a carrd. It was built so you don't need website builder skills in order to have a pretty place for your OC. It shifts the burden to the site's design and experience, and aims to improve walk-up scene in FFXIV by enabling community and connections.

1250

hanabi @purpleheartdev.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

This is a valid concern. I do hope myself it will not be the case, seeing people without carrds getting RP without problem. Its only purpose is to streamline, not gatekeep. Btw, non RPers with profiles are welcome too, I plan to introduce separate mechanisms to tell if someone is actively RPing.

I agree. Its an upcoming change.

3301

It doesnt mean however that I won't reconsider allowing NSFW content upon relocating sometime this year. Please stay tuned for updates regarding my automated moderation tool. I know it sucks, it needs fixing RPers on bluesky, you're lovely bunch, thank you for the love you gave to the project. 💜

I can't risk legal battles especially since this is my hobby project and it remains revenue-less. And I can't be arsed by the lawmakers creating laws for multibillion dollar companies that knock hobby projects like this off the market.
