Supercharging.Life database

I was suggesting (assuming you are asking me) that the app be re-wrote a bit to work with Fastchargers.info for the Rate My Charge hashtag that is gaining ground. Currently it's a Twitter thing where you send a video talking about any challenges or successes, but they are trying to gather info and are consequently looking to write an app.

I would think if you are looking to collect info you will avoid things like videos and comments and simply have a check in, probably kinda like Plugshare, but outside corporate auspices. Click here to check in Yes I charged, or No I failed to charge

Not that I am associated with Rate My Charge, but I use it and this app and saw the synergy.

There is definitely synergy, but I don't think it is feasible for the reasons listed above by @aNullValue and @Big Earl. I'd be hesitant to advocate just give the code to Kyle and Branden as I think they will try to make a business out of RateMyCharge, so they should cover those costs themselves.

I found a bit of data weirdness. AZ Tim has zero firsts, but his rank is somehow 85th in firsts.

 

[israndy]

Assuming there are more than 85 contestants

 

[tharasix]

People with 1 first are tied at #93, and other people with zero firsts have a blank first ranking field.

Leaderboard

supercharging.life

Thanks Admins!!

@aNullValue has updated the badges. We plan on doing this quarterly for now as they do not change too often - previous update was over 6 months ago.

Any thoughts on automating at least some of them?

Yes, but low on the priority list. The "region" and "period" tables are pretty good at getting any type of ranking you are interested in, and the counts in the leaderboard are automated (YTD, QTD, states visited, etc).

Will probably give admins ability to edit badges first - the supercharging.life site automates most of what the admins used to do, so they have plenty of time now.

Has anyone sat Drew down and told him what that login sounds like?

Quick question from the Chamber of Ignorance:

Why is it that once I login either on my laptop or on my phone or in the car that a day or two later my info is dead. I have to logout then login again. That seems peculiar to a charter resident in the C of I.

It intentionally times out after one week. It's a security thing. Have you had this happen in less than a week between uses?

 

[israndy]

Even the Tesla login doesn't time out this fast. I am on a road trip using it several times an hour and it STILL timed out between stops. That seems a lot over the top.

Although if you are using Google to log you in I guess you don't have control over it, hate those guys

 

[tharasix]

Weird. On my last trip to Texas, I logged in when I left on the 14th and it was retained through the 21st, and there were some days I didn't use it at all.

I cannot say honestly. I think so. If my addled brain remembers, generally it is good for 2-4 days before I have to do the log out dance and then log back in.

Does it matter if I switch from my home wireless internet to using my cell phone carrier's access when I am not at home?

Are you by chance using Safari on macOS/iOS/iPadOS? In recent versions of their OS, Apple has added some pretty strict timeouts for cookies to reduce ad tracking. I thought it was more along the lines of two days when I would have to login again on supercharging.life though. Definitely not multiple times in an hour.

 

[israndy]

I am seeing it like every other day or three

I reached out to the maintainers of Supercharging.life because I was interested in building out a native mobile app for it. I feel like some of these issues could be overcome with something native, and it could benefit from things like location services, native maps, etc.

I too desired to make a Flutter-based frontend to SC.life (in my copious amounts of free time around a newborn... \s), but sadly there is no API layer to hook into last I knew. The website is written in PHP with direct calls to the database.
