I've spoken to a few people about this idea already but I want to expand it to the group and start bring in additional ideas, etc.
Essentially I have been extracting the data out of the client and parsing the files via code, no manual process here - all of the data has been going into a database in the cloud.
My goal is to provide an admin tool that each and everyone of us can use to view data that either a) already is in the client but we'd like to see it on a web page at any time with a better user experience, or b) isn't in the client, but we can use existing data to creatively show (example would be trends from team vs team, gm vs gm, ect).
My motivation for doing this? I lead an engineering and design team in my day job - so I don't get to do as much coding as I used to. So this is just a little fun thing for me to do. I also want to provide an experience for our GM's that separates this league from others - FCM is the best!
I'd like your ideas, so would like to use this forum for now to collaborate. If I get enough interest in others helping we may move to a google doc and even a collaboration design tool that I know.
To get sense for what I'm talking about I created a simple mock to start the conversation - its not visually appealing right now, nor does it have all of the ideas included - so go easy on the visual please :)
Lets start thinking of new and interesting ways to view the data. Also if anyone would like to create a logo that would rock - I can do it but would prefer if others take a shot - the MLB logo won't be what we use :)
In the mean time I will be creating this page, getting hosting and launching it. Please provide input, would love to make changes for the better.
