Real-time scorekeeping app for climbing events

CRIMP

A real-time scoring app for climbing events

CRIMP is an open-source real-time scoring app first released in 2014. We are the first ever scoring app for climbing events, specially made to improve the experience at climbing events.

From 2014-2016, the app was used by climbing club in National University of Singapore to run their annual competition, the NUS - Black Diamond Boulderactive. We had 3 successful years, and learnt a great deal from running the app on events with 700+ climbers.

We wanted the app to be used by every climbing event out there, so we released everything for free. After 3 years with a few other events trying to use it, it became clear to us that it was difficult for a layman to deploy the entire tech-stack by themselves. The open-source model was not the best approach if we want folks to use CRIMP.

We want to try to run CRIMP as a paid service. The money would support development (paying for more developers/designers, better servers) and let us provide adequate support to events running the app.

The source code for future iterations will not be published. We have made quite a bit of improvements and changes to CRIMP since, but the source code until June 2016 is still open-source for reference and you can find them here and here.

If you're a climber, we hope to bring CRIMP to a climbing event near you! If you're an event organizer and would like to use the app for your event, please take a look at our website or drop me an email at [email protected] for more info.

Cheers!

crimp's Issues

Switch web interface to react.js

doc-api discrepancy

There are discrepancy between doc-api in various branch. The latest version of doc-api has a GET '/api/judge/climber/:climber_id' API which is currently not used by the app. Should we remove it?

Allow user to control uploading.

Upload request will run as per normal (no human intervention allowed) until an error has occur.
Upon encountering errors, user should be able to

1. cancel
2. edit
3. resume
   upload request.

Update to Meteor 1.2.1

Implement '/api/judge/helpme'

@ecc-weizhi You'll need to implement a button on the judges' app for this

Multiple websocket connections between Server and Socket

When there is already an existing websocket connection, using admin/open will result in multiple websocket connections to Socket. There should only be 1 websocket connection between Server and Socket at all times.

Use node.js server to serve HTML pages

Change to FragmentStatePagerAdapter to manage tabs

Currently CRIMP uses FragmentPagerAdapter which persistently keep fragments in memory as long as the user can return to the page. This is not very scalable and may require large amount of memory.

QRScanActivity should only allow user to enter 3 digits for id

Extension to work in landscape mode

Android app currently forced to work in portrait mode only. Rotation of app might cause some problem (something to do with recreating of view and activity lifecycle (?)).

Use OAuth for security

Since we have 1 year till the next Boulderactive, we should spend some time working on security.

Rename marker_id to climber_marker

@ecc-weizhi It doesn't fit with the naming convention... See example:

climber_id: {
  type: String,
  defaultValue: '',
},
marker_id: {
  type: String,
  defaultValue: '',
  label: 'Marker ID of climber',
},
climber_name: {
  type: String,
  defaultValue: '',
  label: 'Name of climber',
},
climber_expiry: {
  type: Date,
  label: 'Time to remove climber',
  autoValue: () => new Date(Date.now() + EXPIRY_INTERVAL_CLIMBER),
},

Spot the odd one out. Can we change the variable name on your side too?

Create new UI for Judges' app

<unavailable> string is post to server

PHP files should be coded with competition schedule timings

Allow user to input server authentication code

Server crashes when GET request returns null value from database

When NW001 or NWQ01 does not exists, calling /judge/get/NW001/NWQ01 and querying the database will return null value. Null reference causes the server to crash.

Create a search function that identifies and track a climber's progress on scoreboard

Judge application post <unavailable> string

Support Android API 10 and above.

Currently support API level >= 11.

Have a web interface for admins to perform CRUD on database

Update to ES2015

Use camera light during QR scanning

Select route dropdown list does not display correct font color for hint.

ActiveClimber should support 2 simultaneous categories

The final rounds of climbing competitions usually have the Men/Women ongoing at the same time. I hacked out a way to support this during Boulderactive, which sort of worked. We should find a better way to do this.

Timezone issues

1. Timezone is not set on dev and production server. We need to find a way to make it correct based on server location.

2. Client and server timezone can be different, but the app does not take that into account. Find a way to check timezone from the browser, then use moment.js or similar library to convert it.

GET 'judge/categories' response from server differs from API documentation

Blank climber name on ScoringActivity

On ScoringActivity, no progress bar and blank climber name.

Eslint unable to resolve path to Meteor modules

Something is broken with the linter, probably somewhere with the eslint-config-airbnb package. The import/no-unresolved rule is triggered when importing Meteor packages in all .js files. I spent the better half of an evening trying to fix this but really, it's just linting so I'm letting it go into the backlog.

Post request to /api/judge/report responding with empty body

Create Setup-Flow for admin dashboard

A new event would need to enter the categories names, routes, etc to setup the app. We should create a flow for the admins to key in these data.

Allow tracking of which climber is climbing

Android app will send a message to server to inform server which climber is currently climbing.
