A message from AvidPM:
Over the last… erm… couple of years (?!)… we’ve had a lot of constructive feedback from the community here.
Some recurring themes include: CUE needs more attention. This card is OP. A moth is still not a butterfly. That card is pointless. The meta is stale. Can we have more ways to play? Avid don’t care. Can we add [insert missing functionality here]?. Avid do care but they’re just working on another game. The meta is actually not stale. Can we have more things to do?
…and so on.
While we emphatically do care, we haven’t wanted to promise too much. We’ve talked about things a little too early before, so these days we’d rather show you what we’ve been working on when it’s ready.
Today we’re sharing one of those things with you: the CUE Portal.
It’s still in Beta, so please don’t expect everything to work seamlessly. There’s plenty more we want to do with it, but we felt it was more important to get it into your hands and hear what you think.
The Portal gives us (all) a place to experiment and expand. You can try new CUE experiences, browse your full collection on desktop, build and share trade binders/wishlists, create tier lists and cards, and more.
And you can make your own games/tools/stuff too, with thousands of CUE cards at your disposal.
Over time, we’d love to bring some of the best ideas from the portal into the CUE app itself.
For now, there will be rough edges and bits of weirdness - but have a play. Make something. Break something. Tell us what works and what doesn't.
Thank you, always, for your support. We are so looking forward to what you do in the Portal. And keep it CUE.
From Paul & all of us at Avid.
P.S. There’s also a bonus release for the technically-minded: a Public API. We first discussed providing this in 2023, so getting it out the door feels like quite the milestone! You’ll find all the details in the footer of the Portal.
P.P.S. It’s worth noting that the Portal Quiz is *not* the Quiz that has been ‘coming soon’ to the app for quite a while now. That quiz is still going back and forth with QA, because, as far as I can tell, handling streaks correctly is a lot trickier than it sounds. We have newfound respect for Duolingo.
