◦ couldn’t stop watching their splash video ◦ UI was very attractive, especially the tables were pretty ◦ filter system on tables, filters as user types ◦ API was simple to use ◦ very nice custom logo • What did we learn from their website? ◦ how the players, champions, and items of League of Legends are connected ◦ usefulness of Apiary for conveying how to perform API request in different languages
◦ from each instance page, there’s links to other models, but those don’t show links back - e.g. players contain links to champions they play as, but champions don’t have links to players who use them ◦ Once the animation ended, the video continued without sound. ◦ mute button on splash video for those who don’t want audio ◦ on mobile, splash page logo overflows screen (too large) • What puzzles us about their website? ◦ API appears to be lacking documentation for retrieving lists of all champions, players, or items ◦ search is not entirely extensive - e.g. searching “passive” gives no results, searching “magic resist” doesn’t list items which enhance “Magic Resist” under the AND category (Null-Magic Mantle)
Design/ Splash page • What did we learn? ◦ the process of setting up a Rackspace server to host our site ◦ Pretty much every tool needed to develop this application • What can we do better? ◦ Mobile Responsiveness (horizontal scrolling on tables, nav bar) ◦ make image size on instance pages consistent without stretching ◦ show titles of pages in search results and improve the highlighting of search terms in context (showing highlights / contexts of multiple terms) • What puzzles us? ◦ Setting up postgresql database ◦ Rackspace/nginx/gunicorn configuration
