Some in the community may be familiar with my unofficial Speedrun.com browser app ( https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/3iked ). Since its initial release a year and a half ago, I have been continuing to make updates, and I think this new feature warrants a new thread.
One of the most frequently requested features has been the ability to do moderation of speedruns from the app. I am not a moderator myself, obviously, but I took some to think about what the easiest/most convenient moderating experience would be. As of yesterday, this feature was finally implemented in the app, and it is now possible to moderate speedruns from an Android smartphone.
If you are a moderator and want to try it out, follow the steps below:
- Download app from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=danb.speedrunbrowser
- After opening the app, click the gear icon in the top right
- Tap "Speedrun.com API Key for Moderation"
- Retrieve your speedrun.com API key in the web dialog that appears
- Paste it into the box
- View pending moderations by clicking on the gavel icon on the app front page
Please note, if you run into a problem, this feature is very experimental and difficult to test functionality myself. Please file a ticket on GitHub ( https://github.com/dl00/speedrun-browser-android/issues/new/choose ) or reply in this thread if you need help.
Code is open source (links in original thread). Interested in feedback!
Finally, thanks to all the people who use my unofficial app each day! Its always so much fun to read comments and find new ways to improve the app.
