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.

As a former Winter Wimp, I feel like everything is falling into place:

• new n+1 winter bike (TREK CrossRip)
• fenders installed yesterday
• studded tires finally arrived
• bell installed
• GPS mounted

All I need now is wet weather covers for my feet and a waterproof rear-rack trunk bag!
Suggestions welcome!

To make any trunk bag or pannier waterproof at no additional cost and negligible extra weight: Put your items into a plastic bag(s) and fold over the top, then put the bag(s) into whatever you use to carry things.

Absent the bell and GPS, you are getting perilously close to a rule 5 violation! Just sayn’!

Thanks….No surprise! I don’t even know what Rule 5 is!

Clicking a column header to sort the People table starts with ascending order. Is that deliberate, putting slackers at the top to be more quickly identified for public ridicule?

Yes, but only if (1) you have authorized the app (http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize) — it doesn’t hurt to do this again — and (2) you have joined the BikeArlington Strava club (really only relevant for testing phase).

or (3) you need the validation of appearing on silly lists. :p

It’s just the package default.

Thanks, Cyndi, now I can get what folks are posting about.

I was just poking around on freezingsaddles.com in the people section and noticed the “America!|Other” button.

Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, I wish I could take credit for that; that was all jrenaut

[vvill]

Should be “America!/Liberia” really? I got a chuckle too.

Bumping this. Please remember that you need to go to http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize and authorize the Freezing Saddles app. Not everyone is showing up on the leaderboard.

Are the units for the graph of all the time leaderboards in seconds?
