I don’t mind. I’m locked into this one because it functions well, handling all of the idiosyncrasies that can be involved in tennis scoring (3 vs 5 game sets, tie breaks, etc.).

It started as “I could use this for table tennis scoring at our cabin, it can’t be the at hard…” (we use tennis scoring instead of ping pong scoring because we’re all tennis players), but now I just feel like it’s a challenge I want to figure out.

It’s called “ranked-choice voting”, and I agree.

Update: I’ve been banging my head against this for another day and have made a bit of progress. I think part of my original problem has to do with CORS issues. I’ve gotten around this by running a local server and navigating to the local html file via http (http://local host:8080/tennis.html) instead of file (file:///drive/path/tennis.html).

After this, I was running into an error with https. I believed something in the js was forcing redirection to https protocol. I “fixed” this by changing the value of _0x15ea[1] from “https:” to “http:” in the tennis.js file.

Now, I am able to get the locally saved page to load in a browser, but none of the actions that normally update the score on the scoreboard are working. For example, when loaded from the original website (scorching.com), clicking on the game score (white boxes on right) will increase that player’s score by 1. Likewise, the “z” and “x” keyboard keys will increase the player 1 and 2 scores, respectively. (In case anyone isn’t familiar with tennis scoring, the game score numbers advance through 15, 30, 40…, so don’t be surprised that they aren’t going 1, 2, 3…

The other things on the page all seem to be working. Just the scoring isn’t working,~~or the inputs to activate scoring changes aren’t being recognized.~~ (In the browser’s console I can see “scores 1” or “scores 2” being logged, which is the first instruction in the “scores” function, so I know the inputs are being recognized.) Appreciate any thoughts that might help me.

Looks like “offline mode” allows a page to keep working after its already been loaded, and then the computer is made offline. If this is correct, it won’t work for my situation.

I’m hoping to use this on a small machine that’s always offline, so it won’t have the chance to load the webpage from an online server.

I’ve never heard of that. I’ll look into it and report back.

Nice build. I really thought about using Alumimtone pickups on my current build, but ultimately went with something else. I really wish I could give them a shot IRL instead of relying on YouTube videos.I love the way they look.

Bingo. For me, it’s been “5 years away” for 33 years.

For me, there are two things I miss most.

On a comment swiping from right to left would collapse that entire thread up to the parent comment. I used this ALL THE TIME. It’s great for when you’re deep down a rabbit hole of comments and go “ok I’m done with this conversation, what’s the next one?”, then swipe to shrink the whole thing up to the next parent comment. I didn’t realize how much I loved this feature until after it was gone.

The second might be the same as what you’re saying (?). If I accidentally swipe out of a topic and back to the magazine list view of posts, in Apollo you could go “oops!” And swipe from the right edge to go back to where you were (even, back to the comment you were at in that topic). It was a really nice feature.

I mostly lurked on the subreddit and I’m looking forward to mostly lurking here. Cheers!

Congrats! I’ve been on the beta for a couple of weeks and am very impressed how quickly it’s become solid.

Can you let me know the best way to submit feature requests? There is one or two gestures I dearly miss from Apollo and find myself reflexively doing.

I’ve been using the beta version for a couple of weeks and it’s pretty solid. There are some features I miss from Apollo when I was on Reddit, but I’m hopeful they are coming.
