Note - February 29, 2024

Changed update frequency from hourly to every 6 hours to reduce GitHub spam and annoyance.

Note - April 7, 2024

Performed cleanup on the repository to manage its size (reached 3 GB for 6 months), mainly due to hourly updates before March. With the switch to 6-hour intervals, repository growth is now more manageable.

Backups spanning November 2023 to April 2024 (excluding solve data) are available here. Solve data backups were not kept due to laziness.

To view backups, clone the repository locally, replace the backup file as "data/leaderboard.json", and run it on your server.

Considering adding a button for loading older leaderboard data from a file.

Update - May 28, 2024 - v1.4.0

Major changes:

• Enhanced Replay Overlay: Improved compatibility with mobile devices (https://github.com/dphdmn/betterLeaderboard/issues/8) and optimized performance, especially for larger puzzles. Replays are now intelligently positioned at the top for excessively large puzzles, improving user experience. Implemented a refined square size formula adaptable to various screen widths and puzzle sizes. Introduced warning messages and autoscrolling for seamless usability enhancements (1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7).
• Manual Replay Initiation: Replays no longer start automatically, addressing issues with YouTube link accessibility (https://github.com/dphdmn/betterLeaderboard/issues/3) and a rewind feature bug (https://github.com/dphdmn/betterLeaderboard/issues/6). Users now have manual control over replay initiation, improving usability and functionality 1.3.2 and 1.3.8).
• Red Egg Icon and "Hide/Load Solve Data" Button: Introduced a distinct red egg icon for replays containing both YouTube and solve data, providing clearer differentiation. Adjusted the functionality of the "YT only" button to hide solve data instead of deleting it (https://github.com/dphdmn/betterLeaderboard/issues/4), enhancing user experience and retention of solve data (1.3.3 and 1.3.9).

Other Changes:

• Replay Icon Update: Replaced the previous emoji representation with an image for consistency across devices (1.3.1).
• Expanded Puzzle Sizes and Interface Tweaks: Enhanced user experience by expanding puzzle size options and implementing minor interface improvements (1.3.9).
• Fair Record Sorting: Addressed a bug (https://github.com/dphdmn/betterLeaderboard/issues/1) related to resolving tied move count world records, ensuring fairness by sorting them based on timestamp (1.3.10).
• Fixed Custom Move Time Preservation: Rectified a bug associated with the "Force Fringe" button when loading custom move times, ensuring the preservation of custom move times as intended (1.3.11).

Update - July 4, 2024 - v1.5.0

v1.5.0 - The threshold for "Most Popular" Rankings is now based on the number of players rather than categories.
