I'm sorry, but I don't think I will add this feature soon. I searched a bit but didn't find any database for the results nor the articles. I could do a scraper, but scraping the whole website to render it in the app seems a bit useless to me (at least compared to the work that has to be done). However, when the app will be more stable, and with a full support of F1, then I may consider this. The app could become a hub for different motorsport championships (F1, Formula E, F2, etc.).

After some afterthoughts, it seems more doable! I already found routes to fetch the home articles list, the article's content, the standings and the schedule!

Thanks!

It is moving pretty quick! Now you can read the news (with the custom video player, no account needed), see the driver/team standings, see the calendar and see the free practice/combined qualifying/race results. Also, there is a dialog in the settings to select the championship you want to follow. Moreover, I will make the app-cache championship-specific, so you will be able to save offline both F1 and FE standings/calendars...

Off topic. Is there a way to watch a GP only through car avatars? Just pawns on the track?

BrightDV commented 1 month ago

Do you mean the cars on a map? Formula 1 or Formula E?

serrq commented 4 weeks ago

Yes. Both.

Live, I mean

BrightDV commented 4 weeks ago

I don't know any for Formula E as I don't follow the races. However, for Formula 1, there is f1-dash, which has a dashboard with a track map (at the bottom on mobile, among a lot of features). Also, it is the unofficial webview for live sesssions since the latest version.

I just found this for Formula E, it is the official webview: https://livetiming-formula-e.alkamelsystems.com/fiaformulae (map, timetable, radios...) If I find an event tracker for FE, I will add it to the app as the live session webview.

So I should have added everything now, I will use the app for some days to try to find any bug. The above link is added as the only webview available. Also, I have added a button to the settings to update the championship id; it should be clicked once at the start of each new season; everything else should work fine without yearly update!

Excellent!

So I merged this, it will be available alongside the downloads in the next update (which should be around friday or saturday). The only limitation is the downloads from Formula E: the videos are only provided as HLS streams which is not supported by the downloader. Also the app mix scraped and api-requested data for the article reader, so it is not available there neither.
