This is the source code of the site for Geoff Marshall's Tube World Cup. I hacked this together at first in about 1.5hrs, before iteratively improving upon it, adding the results of the other matches and graphs for the results. Overall I think I spent 20 hrs on it.
It's based on React, and was bootstrapped with Create React App. It is served via GitHub Pages.
It uses polling to fetch the results of the polls from a server written by @davwheat (Server API), which itself interfaces with the Twitter API. The site also provides historical polling, with history from the start of polls (by scanning for Twitter polls from Geoff with the #WorldCupTubeLines hashtag). I did previously write a server for this (see node/) but recording had to be started manually, so it was abandonded in favour of David's API.
Thanks to:
- @davwheat for his site, which is displayed just like Geoff's sheet! https://tubecup.davwheat.dev Also thanks to him for the API for the site, without him there would probably be no polling history!
- @_FlaiFlai for the original API, which served as the spark which led me to create this site
- Thanks to all the members of the community who contributed ideas! I can't name you all here, but without them the site would still be a boring, simple table! The site really has been a collabortive effort, and for that I give you all the biggest thanks - and ofc, thanks to you the voters, without which the site would have no point!
- @geofftech for putting on the Tube World Cup, and for providing the opportunity for us devs to come together to add to the experience!
JSON copies of results can be found in public/results/year, e.g. public/results/2020
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
You can learn more in the Create React App documentation.
