HackNav.app // A quick reference guide for the most popular ROM hacks!

Hello everyone!
I am very excited to announce the beta release of a new hack source tool, https://hacknav.app/!
In my own experience, I often find myself pausing play in order to look up different things like wild Pokémon in that area, trainer teams, gym leaders, legendary information, Pokémon stats and other info.
This tool allows you to look through that information by hack (based on the latest version), instead of sifting through notes or pdfs. This resource is by no means all encompassing. Hopefully, it covers 80% of what you need to know on a typical playthrough without giving away every single aspect of the game. I have done my best to make this workable on desktop or phone. I have found myself using it most on my phone and a mini pokedex :)!
Right now, HackNav covers six games. My intention is to add the most popular versions of the other hacks as we go. I'm definitely open to requests! Feel free to drop them below or dm my reddit account. I am tentatively opening a discord for you all to drop feature requests and comments: https://discord.gg/zS5cvscupZ, please be patient as I am just doing this for the love of the game but will add features as quick as I can!
- Rising Ruby (Drayano)
- Pokémon Unbound (Skeli)
- Renegade Platinum (Drayano)
- Blaze Black (Drayano)
- Blaze Black 2 Redux (AphexCubed & Drayano)
- Sacred Gold (Drayano)
If anyone spots missing or wrong data, please let me know. I haven't played all of these hacks to 100% but happy to patch things up. I've done my best to audit the dataset but there is a lot of information so it will take some help from the community to get it perfect. Hope you guys enjoy it!
(Massive credit to Drayano, AphexCubed, Skeli, and everyone who documented these hacks... this is just a layer on top of their work.)
