Bundle of apps and services that tracks a WCA Competition schedule

Me

I'm Cailyn Hoover. I make cool software.

I've been coding since mid 2010 and have dabbled in dotnet, java game dev, and websites. I've mainly been focusing on websites and have been since 2014.

I have an enthusiastic interest in writing code for people and myself. I like taking parts of my life and automating them.

My big fascination right now is writing websites for my niche hobby of cubing.

You may have heard of letscube, a webapp that connects cubers together to race in real time powered by nodejs, websockets, and react.

I run WCA competitions. I have developed various tools for managing them:

• Delegate-Dashboard: WCA Competition Groups Management Tool
• Competitor-Groups: WCA Competition Groups Viewing Tool
• WCA-Regs: Combines WCA Regulations and Guidelines into a single searchable page

I'm hapily employed at Circle. Come work for us!

Letscube

My biggest website is letscube which hosts over 8000 registered users. This platform connects cubers together and lets them race eachoher solving rubik's cubes.

Funfacts

• My language of choice is Javascript
• The fastest I've solved a rubik's cube is 6.34 seconds
• I've been to 50+ WCA Sanctioned competitions putting on almost half of them
• I'm also the lead delegate for the PNW
• Electronic music is my favorite music genre

competition-schedule-live's Issues

Add non-competition owners as stage managers

Research how people might want to receive notifications for groups

List of possible services:

• SMS
• Email
• Discord
• Telegram
• Whatsapp
• Push notifications

Need way for users to sign up for notifications

Idea:

• Go to website
• Login with wca
• Accept to receive notifications for prompted competition, retrieve phone number.
• Ask if number can be used for future competitions.
• Send phone number to service that texts users
• Add it to a database that links users by email with their phone number.

Serverless application for sending text messages

• Research what SMS service I want to work with
• Figure out how I want people to sign up for it
• Should I always remember someone's phone number?
• Should there be a 1:1 mapping of phone number to person?
• Should people be automatically be enrolled in for notifications for future competitions?

Need to fix authentication

Log user out when session expires and create easy way to log back in or refresh token

Importing competitions

needs a screen to import competitions

Push notifications

Allow admins to subscribe to push notifications reminding them when it's time to call their stage, or when stages are called.

Assigning this to myself for Nationals.
