Freezing Saddles Scoreboard backend "soft launch"

[hozn]

Hi folks –

I’ve gone ahead and pushed out a new version of the Freezing Saddles scoreboard / data analysis application. Most of the guts are the same, though the Strava API library had to be rewritten (since their new API is very different). Also, the site layout looks much different (better), thanks to jrenaut!

At this point we don’t have teams yet (it’s just configured for the single “BikeArlington” club), so there’s really no data, but if you’d like to help us iron out bugs, please go ahead and authorize this app to read your Strava data!

http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize

Once we have some more authorization tokens (i.e. the auth codes we get when you allow this app to read your data), we can work out any bugs related to ride synchronization. And once we have more data, we can start building out a few of the other pages we want to create. (E.g. we’ll have a text-only scoreboard reminiscent of ronwalf’s from last year with clickable links; the Google charts are cool, but not so useful for drilling down to Strava club or athlete pages, etc.)

Any feedback appreciated, of course.

And when the mechanics are working smoothly I’ll turn my attention back to developing some cool branding.

Even if I’m not participating in the contest, would it mess up things if I authorized my account to show up on the scoreboard?

No, that’d be great! (I’m also “signed up” even though I won’t be participating.)

And just to be clear, I have no idea what is wrong with the individual leaderboards The scores are pretty wild. Probably has to do with changing the timeframe for the competition for testing. Anyway, we’ll sort these things out before real launch.

Looks like the ‘people’ section is throwing errors (500 Internal Server Error)?

Did the soft launch score period start this week? I’m not showing up, yet.

[hozn]

Yeah, the (test) period is supposed to be from Dec 1. There were (probably still are) some issues with sync, but I would expect your activities to show up shortly if they have not yet.

I will check out the people section – thanks! I just blindly pulled latest repo and did not sync up with jrenaut on that (he is working on that feature).

[jrenaut]

I’m not seeing 500 errors – has something changed? Hozn and I are still getting into the swing of working together on this, so there may be some missed signals here and there.

It’s working for me now, too (and my rides showed up).

Okay, good. Let me know if there’s something you’d like to see there.

[hozn]

Yeah, I fixed it, no prob. I think it was a code path that wasn’t exercised with the old data.

Is there a way to show both the competitor’s strava name AND their forum name?

[jrenaut]

Easy to display, but not so easy to get the data. Maybe next year we can add that to the signup form.

I think rcannon put it on the form? So if we get a dump of the registration results we should be able to add it to the database.

It might be nice to also get the handicap numbers so we could have metrics for how hard folks are pushing themselves (or sandbagging, I guess).

[jrenaut]

Oh, right, I had forgotten that was on the form. Disregard my previous message.

Me too. Just “signed up” but won’t be joining any team. Wanted to see how this works out.

Aw, Come on, that’s no fun. You know you want to join our stupidity and get out there with us. Otherwise we will shame you into changing your forum nickname to bikeeveryNICEday.
