Hi. I do some WoW datamining, 3d modelling, and make WoW addons. Occasionally I go on long tangents of boring stuff. If there's other relevant stuff I'll add it below.

Links to stuff can be found here: keyboardturner.github.io

3d render of a human character holding a guitar playing some notes looking toward the camera. the character has tanned skin, dark brown hair, a pink flower crown, purple and white vest, and pink flower corsage. The background is of the interior of a ship.

Updates on addon API restrictions - allowing for more stuff to basically work outside of instances and combat 👀

Addon communications and chat access
The ability to send addon messages and read chat is currently restricted entirely while inside an instance. This has been relaxed to only apply when any of the following are true:
A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed.
A PvP match has started and not yet completed.
An instance encounter is in progress.
Cooldown access
Cooldown access is currently always secret. This has been relaxed to only return secrets when any of the following is true:
A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed.
A PvP match has started and not yet completed.
An instance encounter is in progress.
The player is in combat
Aura access
Aura access is currently secret while in combat. This has been slightly tightened to share the same updated restrictions as cooldowns.
Additionally, aura APIs that return a single aura from a spell ID or name have been restricted and are no longer callable while aura access is secret.
Unit resource access
New UnitHealthPercent, UnitHealthMissing, UnitPowerPercent & UnitPowerMissing APIs have been added (returning secret values).
String formatting
Tainted code will now be allowed to call the following functions with secrets (resulting in secret strings):
string.format
string.concat
string.join
Additionally, the Lua concatenation operator has been relaxed and will allow tainted code to concatenate numbers and strings.

GetRestrictedActionStatus
A new global GetRestrictedActionStatus API has been added to query whether or not a restriction "type" (eg. secret cooldowns) is actively being enforced.
Tooltips
Resolved an issue where tooltips could fail to display if the previously shown tooltip was set up by tainted code.
Coming soon (Alpha 4 and beyond)
--------------------------------
Secret structured tables
APIs that return structured tables as secrets will no longer make the entire table secret - just the values inside.
This doesn't apply to events or APIs that return vectors of data (specific cases where this is problematic are being evaluated).
String formatting
Various numeric formatting APIs - including AbbreviateNumbers - will be made callable with secrets by tainted code (returned strings will inherit secret state)
Unit identity access
Access to creature unit names, GUIDs, and IDs will be made secret while in an instance and no longer be based off combat state.
Unit resource access
APIs will be added to allow addons to adjust the color of unit frame health bars based on health percentage

Has anyone managed to get a hidden artifact appearance from Legion remix yet? I highly suspect they're locked behind a later phase or perhaps not obtainable after all

Would like a few people to test; we added filtering by decor from earned achievements to the housing hub! Log in with Battle.net on housing.wowdb.com then go to the settings page and sync achievements for a char. After that, you should be able to filter by "earned achievements" on the decor page.

Some early fixture customization was put into the recent build for housing. These are pretty much all the things that i previewed in my exterior customization thread (though they're locked behind certain requirements)

a house with a dropdown on the left displaying the collected options "None" and "Simple Window". The right displays a barbershop-style selection of dropdown menus, including House Type, House Size, Base Style, Roof Style, and Roof Color.

The icons for Profession quality (at least from what i recall, trade goods and consumables and the like) appears to be 2 tiers of icons. tier 1 is a single dot from the older tier 2, while the *new* tier 2 is the colors of older tier 3 but with the pentagon shape recognizable in tier 5. #⛏️

yeah one of the class-agnostic demon hunter sets was showing as already known, i clicked it and it learned it anyway, i think it may be a tooltip bug or something

addon isn't even exclusive to remix technically but i'm labelling it as Remix Artifact Tracker solely for the acronym it makes
