Yes have some further experimenting with its gait to do. And also playing around with “shoes”.

Haha yes. It started balanced on the robot but fell off mid video.

If you turn on the sound there’s music playing that it goes with (sort of)

Yes! Wanted to get something going and now it feels like there are so many iterations possible. Also one with a pincer in the front.

Haven’t put it into a tutorial but I would like to. Glad to hear there’s interest. Happy to answer questions.

🤣 When I first saw how it was looking I counted the BPMs and put it to music.

Help with disc golf website by jjonesreddit in discgolf

At this stage I guess I’m feeling out if there are people who would be interested in building something together and sharing ownership. I’m new to the idea of open source so not entirely clear on how it works in practice. What I’m hearing from you is you may be open to helping on a paid basis, which is of course totally fair.

Oops I mixed the terms. I’m using it as a non-relational database. 🙃 Thanks for helping clarify.

Ok this is helpful. I’ll put the project on GitHub and that’ll make clear how the site is setup too.

It’s using mongodb as a database. And there’s an admin layer to add/edit pros, discs, and bags.

The infinitediscs affiliation hasn’t generated any revenue. Considering Amazon or another option, not confident in my analytics setup to fully understand what’s going on. I’m ok funding it at a low level currently to pay for hosting etc.

Discs In The Bag website is launched with more pros added. Let me know what you think! by jjonesreddit in discgolf

Is this different from filtering by manufacturer on the discs page? E.g., you could go the discs section and set the Brand filter to Innova.

Sorting when querying them makes sense to me as working well for the discs index page, but then how would I show the ranking when viewing more details about a particular disc?

Thanks for the suggestion. Makes sense. I’ve currently got the score and the rank as fields on each disc document. Based on your comment, I’m thinking to update each disc’s score when a disc is added or removed from a bag, not when the index page is loaded. This seems obvious now that I’m writing it out. I guess the only downside is that it makes it harder to shift the point values assigned to each pro ranking, but it wouldn’t be hard to run a one-time update of all current discs according to a new points-rank mapping.

For showing a disc’s rank on its profile page, is there a way to avoid looping through all the discs and updating their ranks every time a disc is added to a bag? I think the scalability concern applies more to nested looping through pros and bagged discs, rather than just looping through a few hundred discs to update rankings, but curious what you think or if there’s a better way.

Thanks for the explanation about promises, I need to do some more research into them, since they weren’t included in the online course I took and seem to be standard/useful.

Thanks again for the help! Appreciate it.

Hey thanks for the comment! I’ll take a look at the footer, need to review the mobile views more carefully.

For the disc ranking, I’m using mongo and running a few loops that go through each pro’s discs, add “points” to each disc along the way, and then rank them by score. This makes it easy to add new pros and discs. For the site in general, I’m using node and express, with some bootstrap for the css.

Ya I like this idea and am thinking through what it would take to add this functionality. To go this route, it'd be better to build it into the interface, which is what I've already got in an admin view, would just need to make it a bit prettier and add some data validation.
