Free Company Tracker Page

[Simbiat]

Awesome work! Is it possible to search through the registered FCs? (I mean like an advanced search that allows you to find FCs of a particular size, focus, allegiance, etc.)

I plan to add something like this: I have a proven solution used on https://www.simbiat.dev/bictracker so most difficult thing would be the interface. The way the results will be shown would probably remain the same: sorted by servers and limited to 5 hits for each (otherwise show the number of hits).
I am not sure, when this filtering will be added. I'd like to focus on updating the overall site engine, to improve its visibility in search engines among other things, and start working on login system, since I've planned to allow company pages customization for quite a long time now. But I will be updating this thread when there will be significant updates and I plan to add Atom feed to the site this weekend, so you will be able to follow the news using it as well. Or rather it will be feedS.

I've delayed feeds, but they are up now. You can even track changes to companies/linkshells/characters on the service. In the next update I will add advanced search.

Advanced filters added. At the moment, it's still required to input at least 1 character in the "name" search, though, because otherwise the query becomes too big. I am thinking of a way to allow that as well. For now, check out what is already available and let me know if other filters are required.

Hello, Simbiat. I am a software developer and will be going to a coding boot camp to finally get more training for the front-end/cloud to become a full full-stack developer. When I am done, would you like for me to work with you to convert it to angular4+? I think using that framework would allow to make things much easier to work with.

AFAIK, Angular is more JS oriented, I am more PHP oriented. They claim faster JS, but I do not take it at face value: this is all about overall optimization. I also try to limit any 3rd-party dependencies and write only the stuff, that I actually need, instead of getting lots of extra code, which mean potential vulnerabilities as well. This also provides me with a general challenge to my hobby.
If you think, that Angular (or any other framework) can bring some real benefits compared to the current design, I'd be happy to share [portions] of code for you to try it out and show how it benefits in real life.

Thanks for the response. The thing with AngularJS is that yes, you need to load extra stuff that was not needed. But, with improvements such as Java 9 for Java applications and with Angular2, you can control what loads so that only what is needed is used now.

As for being JS oriented, yeah, that is true. That is your preference on things. When I am done with my bootcamp and the new languages I have to learn for the new applications I have to support later this year and next year, I will have ADF, Angular 4, Java Spring, Zend, Laravel, and Yii in terms of frameworks for front end. (Really need to stop the one school/department that keep making new applications in whatever language/framework they feel like and work with sticking with 1 or 2.)

While http://simbiat.ru/fftracker was updated for Stormblood just now, during previous Lodestone maintenance around 50 companies and around 4000 players were marked as deleted erroneously. Now everyone in affected companies is shown as "new". Since data was lost... We just need to wait for that to change.
Otherwise it should generally work now. We are still looking into issues with the parser, but they should not affect tracker.

BTW, "lost" data was restored.

Hi.
Is there a reason only part of an FC's members would be registered in the interface? We have over 400 members but when looking at our FC in the interface it only shows 295.

Also, it would be suuuper helpful to have a different view/sort option on the main screen. Perhaps also a way to see instantly who is up for a promotion as according to the amount of time they have been in the FC (rather than clicking into each individuals profile to see their join date).

Thoughts?

What's the FC ID (or name, at least)? I will check.
As for promotions, there is, actually a logic for that, used on http://mogstkids.eu and members up for promotion are highlighted. As well as those, that were promoted/demoted or are suggested to be kicked. I still have not gotten a chance to "open" it to customization in any way, though. It will require registration and linkage to Lodestone. It is in the plans.
