WTF Are My Weekend Plans? #22

Closed tjvonp closed 8 years ago

tjvonp commented 9 years ago

I just made one and am setting up the domain as I type this. Any suggestions on improvements? Did I change any text you'd rather I didn't? Any general comments? Let me know!*

*Unless you have a better name for the domain. 'Cause, you know, I already bought it, and I'd be bummed if I realized that was something better.

I've had a problem for a couple of weeks where the site won't move passed the loading animation. Anyone else had to deal with something like that?

I've been too busy to look into the problem until now. I thought maybe it had to do with Google updating Google Docs (which I was using to supply the data), but I can't find any evidence that that is right other than that the update happened around the same time my site broke.

UPDATE: As I was typing this, I changed it so it is fed by the sample.json. Now it works! Therefore, I'm pretty sure it is the fault of Google Docs. If I find a fix, I'll post it so everyone else will have it on record. If I haven't posted a fix yet, feel free to toss in your thoughts.

UPDATE: I haven't figured out why Google Docs doesn't work anymore, but I fixed the site. Instead of using my spreadsheet, I'm going with the "Populate using an object literal" option. A bit harder to change, but hey, it works.

Hey, great site and thanks for the link :) Check out #24 and #25 and sorry for the problem. Google changed the way sheets work but I've added a workaround to fix it. Just replace your wtf.js with the latest if you still want to use the live sheet feed. Seems like you got it working anyway though which is great.
