Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Exporting Progress

tianHaneul   July 27th, 2012 8:46p.m.

Is there a quick way to have a link to something with an overview of progress so far, kind of like the public profile (except as far as I could tell there is no explicit URL link to it)?

Taking screenshots seeming ... a bit roundabout is all.

I'm asking because I'm trying to get some other people from a Starcraft community I'm in to use Skritter, and hopefully have some sort of leaderboard among us. I see from the FAQ that leaderboards aren't implemented yet, although if there were even just a way to share progress that would be sufficient for now.

If not, screenshots will have to do for the meantime!

@tianHaneul: In the iOS app's progress page, there is a "Share Progress" button (scroll to the bottom) that allows you to post progress on Twitter and Facebook.

This link shows your public profile and therefore progress (change username as applicable)

You could quite easily knock together a page that had a bunch of these within iframes or something. You could also put together some javascript to parse each page and extract the stats for several people (anyone up to the challenge...?)

It's intended for classrooms, but it does allow groups of users to view each others' progress, if the group administrator so chooses. And it comes with group exports of those total numbers you're interested in, as well as a group report system.

Be careful with it though. The administrator has a fair amount of power over those who join (so that teachers can help students with their accounts if needed, and view progress stats in depth). So only give admin power to those who are trustworthy. I'll be tweaking this to lower the amount of power in the future.

Thanks, looks awesome :)

Following @alanmd's suggestion, here's a spreadsheet that shows Skritter progress for a list of users*:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsQivnqJe1m4dHI3RktNQ09uVC1wWGdfRnJXT3hrWEE

You can copy this spreadsheet and adapt it as you like.

*It's limited to 8 users, because only 50 importXML() calls are allowed per spreadsheet, but it wouldn't be hard to change it so there is only one importXML() call per user.

(I think doing this in Javascript would require a proxy unless it was hosted on the Skritter domain.)
