• Leaderboard: Fully functional with blazing fast search, real user data, accurate shell calculations, and detailed user profiles
• Projects: Complete project gallery with indexed search, pagination, and real project data from 9,553+ submissions

In Progress:

• Casino: Shell casino game exists but is not fully built as originally intended

Note: Shipping this for Siege as I'm currently dealing with a cold, but I'm committed to completing the timeline and casino features in the near future.
