I spent months building the ARK website I always wanted (still in beta)

Over the past couple months, I have spent an unreasonable amount of my free time developing an ark website. For some context, I'm a software developer who has been playing ark on and off since 2015 with over 3k hours in the game. I figured this put me in a unique position to create a website ark players actually want vs the selection we have now (looking at you battlemetrics).

The problem I've always had with these ark server websites is they usually just give you the server list pulled directly from the ark api with some promotions and a ton of ads sprinkled in. Very few are built specifically for ark and have any sense of clusters, wipes, etc.

As an ark nerd, I have done the opposite and created a completely free (no ads ever) platform which contains logic for tracking clusters, detecting wipes, and allows people to view historical data when choosing what to play. It is very far from perfect and still has work to be done, but I've had fun building it and would absolutely love to see others try it out.

I made a post around a month ago when it was in its earlier phase and got some great feedback. I would really appreciate any feedback or feature you would like to see added. Cheers!

I built a free server & cluster tracker with wipe detection and player history

Hey guys, for the last couple of months I've been working on a website to aid in finding ark clusters and communities to play in, while providing historical data such as player count to get an idea of if it interests you. I'll admit this has a bit of a PVP focus, but I think PVE players could find value in it too!

I know there are other websites already out there such as battlemetrics, but these sites usually just display raw server data and aren't catered to actual ark players. As someone with over 3k hours split between ASE and ASA, I know what people are looking for and have used that game knowledge to develop cluster naming and wipe tracking algorithms for example.

Something else I want to make clear is there are ZERO ads!! I'm so sick of the popups from other ark server websites, which is part of the reason I started this website in the first place. It was a personal project before I decided to make it into a website, after all.

Please feel free to check it out and if there is anything you'd like to see, let me know in the comments!
