[Mesure73L]

What problem were you having?

No response

What solution would you like?

A way to put like #2023-dec-1 at the end of the URL to open the page on that challenge would be nice.

What alternatives have you considered?

?challenge=20231201 or something (2023, 12, 01)

What are some pros and cons of doing this?

Pros

• Easier to share challenges that you enjoyed
• Faster to load onto a challenge

Cons

• IDK

What page is this for?

Twelve of Code

What needs to get done?

• [x] Automatically set the challenge to be active and load it on page load
• [x] Change the URL when a challenge is loaded
• [x] Detect when the URL is changed to allow users to type in the URL
• [x] Verify that the challenge is released and existent when attempting to load it
• [ ] Fix all bugs
• [ ] Add Wiki docs explaining how to use it (not required for completion)

Totally! A few questions though:

• When selecting a challenge, will it automatically change the URL to go to that page?
• Are you doing this or am I?

When selecting a challenge, will it automatically change the URL to go to that page?

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for.

By the way, if you're just changing the hash, you can just use window.location.hash = whatever.
