Codewars Hall of Fame

To recognize the best of the best in Codewars!

While my Codewars Leaderboard & Calendar frontend application was useful, there were a number of features to improve the user experience, first being making the network responses more seamless.


It wasen't challenging, but time consuming as there were a number of requests, it involved going to each and adding a loading state, updating the loading state when things changed according, and adding loading indicators where needed.

Calendar

At the time the calendar linked to the Codewars.com User profile pages, changing these to link to my lookup page took little effort. What did take more effort was linking each date to the leaderboard page of range in question, supporting days, weeks, and months.

Hall of Fame

This was a new page I wanted to recognize the efforts of those, who have acheived feats over the days, weeks, and months. It awarded those who had the most honor - or gained the most honor over their period - a diamond, and the next nine runner-ups a ribben.

Additionally it shows the currently-contended for categories, counting down until the results for the period would be finialized.

Finally these same awards would be displayed to users when they were looked up.
