Beernerd.app - Week 4 Release Notes

Founder
Lots of admin work this week, but all going to be worth it once we have our release party! 🌴
🚀 Features Shipped
Monday, November 3rd
- Published the week 3 release notes
- Vibed up the about page. This was kinda fun, I wrote an extensive prompt on the background of our app and let V0 do the rest.
Tuesday, November 4th
- Shipped the analysis tab for tournaments on the
/stat/overviewpage. This involved writing a function to aggregate all the stats and display them in a table that sorts each row by column. I reused my existing table and extended the functionality to provide cells as react components rather than strings. This allowed for custom icons and handler functions. - Shipped bug fixes for sizing of tournament image on desktop, added
cursor: pointerto buttons, and general css for desktop sizing. This was PR #100 🥳
Wednesday, November 5th
- Configured claude code in my IDE and in terminal. This was prompted due to a CSS bug that I was unable to figure out in the bracket component.
- Shipped a bug fix where the css property
scroll-snapwas not working properly in the bracket component. What was strange was the problem only existed on IOS on the/stat/overviewpage (worked fine on the/tournament/beerdie/[gameId]page). - The issue was a result of IOS having a harder time doing flex calculations and by adding
flex: 1to the main container of the bracket I was able to fix the issue.- Lesson learned here is to stop using
height: 100%on children of flexboxes, it's not the best way to go about height calculations of flex children
- Lesson learned here is to stop using
- Shipped bug fix when tournament bracket is on desktop. The bracket uses an intersection observer to identify which column is in view and sets a state variable that specifies what round the bracket is on. When on desktop multiple columns are in view. Therefore, this fix involved checking if multiple columns are in view and ignores the intersection observer and only uses tab control for selecting a round.
- Shipped bug fix on
/stat/overviewpage, when clicking on tournament breadcrumb while currently viewing a child game's stats it raised an error. This is becausegame_configwas not yet defined as the data was still being fetched. Removed error throw from code.
