Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
I can't believe 2025 is already behind us!
2025 was an incredibly busy year under the hood here. It felt like I was constantly coding, tweaking, and deploying. Before we dive into the exciting plans for 2026, let's look at the highlight reel from the past year.
Looking Back at 2025 🛠️
👨💻 Code, Code, Code: I checked my GitHub stats, and I somehow managed to push 2320 commits in 2025! That’s a lot of late nights and coffee turned into code.
🛒 The Web Store is Live: The biggest addition to the site was the implementation of the new web store. You can now easily grab virtual servers and custom services I’ve written including the FiveM Logging Server, the Club & Community Hub, and your own status page
✍️ On the Blog: I published 7 detailed blog posts this year. (Note to self: definitely aiming to increase that number in 2026!).
🎨 UI Evolution: If you’ve been visiting throughout the year, you probably noticed the website's UI changed more times than I care to admit. 😅 But we are in a good place now, and I’m finally really happy with the design.
The 2026 Roadmap: Building Bigger 🚀
So, what’s cooking for 2026? A LOT.
I've already started work on several projects in the pipeline—both open-source tools for GitHub and new products for the store. I'm also planning a complete rewrite of our Status Page UI using Material Design 3 for a slick, modern feel.
But the main course for 2026 is something I'm really excited to share a sneak peek of:
The Upcoming FiveM Dashboard Product
I'm developing a comprehensive dashboard designed to take the headache out of managing FiveM communities but also give your players a place they can come to view everything, fill in applications and so on. Here is an early look at the features we have planned:
🚗 Live Player Dashboard We are aiming for zero manual updates. The portal will hook directly into your server database to give players dynamic, real-time views of their character stats, cash balances, and job status. It will also feature garages and properties so players can see every vehicle and property they own in one clean web interface. We are also implementing Discord Secure Login for zero-friction access.
📝 Application & Whitelist System Say goodbye to messy Google Forms and digging through DMs. The new system will feature a Custom Form Builder for Whitelist, Police, or EMS applications. It includes automated Staff Alerts via Discord Webhooks the second an app is submitted, one-click approvals directly from the dashboard, and secure data hosting in an S3 bucket to keep your server light.
🛠 Staff & Admin Power Tools We are giving admins total brand control with custom logos and accent colours. You'll be able to easily look up player histories without opening the database and utilize audit-ready logs to keep track of which staff members approved applications and when.
Here's a little sneak peek...
Note: this is by no means final
Thanks for being part of this journey in 2025. I appreciate you stopping by. Let’s learn, build, and host incredible things together in 2026!
Cheers, Jamie
