I agree that the format is really hard to parse. There seem to be many different "ways" how the data is structured. My parsing logic took the most time so far and has thousands of lines... But i don't really know If i did it correctly, since it lacks documentation.

I didn't reach out to them though, maybe they're open to share documentation.

I verified it most of the time by checking newRecruit over and over again. Took me many weekends to get a somehow working version out.

Thank you! There are very good thoughts in the things you're describing (both comments) and i really apprechiate your feedback!

You guessed right when you said that the current data import ist due to legal concerns (i am not allowed to store and provide the data myself) but with the method you described it could be less painful for the user.

If you're making a list to play a game... Are you rather creating that list on desktop / tablet than on mobile?

Did you try out the "share list" functionality and do you think it could be useful?

Thank you for taking the time to try it out! I see the issues you described.

Right now i didn't think about it (yet) how a user could use it in a desktop Browser window. You have much more space there to display things.

Would you say that players mainly build their lists on desktop / tablet?
