---

Current features:

• Search - any keyword, team, round, tournament, tag along with typos is currently supported and will return 3 previews while typing and will return up to 10 results when Enter is hit.

• Information - results are offered in cards that provide information about:

  • Round title (w/ teams)
  • Resolution
  • Aff - information about PMC, sometimes MG/PMR
  • Neg - number of off-case positions, block collapse choice
  • Decision
  • Year
  • Tournament
  • Tags

• Selection - clicking on a result card will display a main card with the same information and will display an embedded audio controls element if possible and a link to the round as the title of the card itself.

• Infinite Scroll - any search query allows the user to page by scrolling to the bottom to generate more results

• Upload/Add - any user may add a result card for a specific round recording they possess by inputting the relevant round information and a Dropbox/YouTube/Vimeo link.

Planned Features:

The timeline for these features is TBD since the main features I wanted to implement have been completed and school and debate prep usually takes precedence. Pull requests with work on these features are also super welcome!

• Copy Round Info Snippets - button to generate and copy round info for the Cal ground truth doc.

• Advanced Search Mechanisms - more explicit keyword-based filtering of results outside of only search-bar inputs.

• Cross-Sync - any round recording added to the Cal-specific List of All Round Recordings Google Doc will be automatically synced to the website database and vice-versa (potentially Cal-rounds only to prevent doc overloading and crashes).

• Team/School Based Logins - Ability to create school-wide accounts for school-specific recordings (e.g. hosting practice round recordings that schools are unwilling to share to the general public)

Code Structure

The code is currently in a working stage - the main .js file has been commented to a certain extent but is very much vanilla JS as of right now. Hopefully I get around to learning React and reimplementing this project for a more modern structure. Pull requests of this nature are welcome!
