Splitsbrowser - end or NEW life
Posted: Wed, 29. Jan 2014 9:34
I can't see Split results (Splitsbrowser) anymore since about 3 years ago when Apple decided not to allow Java-Applets in the browser anymore by default (for a long time you could if you explicitly allowed your browser to run it, but... Java-Applets are eval and insecure).
However, more people are reporting problems with the Splitsbrowser. So it seems I'm not the only one with having trouble to view split results.
More and more people are buying Apple products (I guess there must be also a significant increase of visits with tablets, especially iPads).
In my opinion, Splitsbrowser is end of life, it has done it's job very well, but it should go on retirement.
Luckily, there may be an alternative in the future, which is built with modern web technologies and support for tablets.
It's work in progress (very very beta): http://staging.o-splits.jover.be/
I suggest, when this new O-splits results viewer reaches a state which can be considered stable, to use this instead of the old Splitsbrowser (maybe a fallback to Splitsbrowser can be built in).
Besides that, can I help you Helga-guys out with modernizing the results-portal, to make it more 21th century?
I think there's a lot of space for improvement.
Together with a switch to a new splits results viewer, we can maybe roll out a new and modern design for the normal results list.
Would be happy to help you out!
