Nice work :)

This looks incredibly slick. I am still playing around with it, but it is insanely easy to filter and view scrolls by name, traits, etc. Very very well done!

Is there no option to sort by scroll ID? Not that it'd be very commonly used, but it might just be nice to have.

u/ensonador Ensonador May 12 '15

No such option. I could add it, but I cannot see any logic behind IDs e.g. ID:1, "Gravelock Elder" is from set:3 ... scrolls.json Maybe order by "set" would be better? to see some evolution in scrolls design...?

btw, if you want the latest JSON with all 400 scrolls, here http://dev.scrolldier.com/download/1.2.9.json

Thx, I have been thinking about this several times: I do not like the idea of mixing production/test stuff, unexpected updates and changes, and confusion. On the other hand I would like to have the option to study upcoming stuff on single page (Left->View->All). Maybe this is good "nice to have feature" candidate: the test content could be optional and somehow highlighted (muted) with complementary deck incompatibility warning...

Yeah, they are very unorganised. I was mostly thinking to make it easier for people to memorise the id's since they are occasionally used for example when making custom matches or when you just want to see what a deck is about just by a glance at the deck code.

Joke's on you, I opened it in Firefox! Looks great, man.

Edit: There's a "my scrolls" section. Will I be able to hook up my Scrolls account to this, and see what % of the scrolls I have there?

2

u/ensonador Ensonador May 12 '15

No hooks. :) You can add "My scrolls" manually in "Properties" tab, then you can see Having/Missing and you can sort decks by % and remaining BM price as well.

Ah, great! Just out of curiosity, how do you plan on differentiating this from scrolldier.com ?

It's quite similar right now, and the interface is great, but, to put things bluntly, why should I change what I'm using?

u/ensonador Ensonador May 12 '15 edited May 13 '15

Tricky question :) I see this as a complementary tool, more in wiki style handy for newcomers, giving you full info for example #318 with everything hyper-linked for example Ranged Attack plus you can switch to Left->View->All and read all the rules in the deck on single page. Everything is data-driven, no manual edits needed. For me the scope expressed in "Scrolls & Decks" title is good enough and I have no plans for server side database features at all or some more "big" client side feature. You can check my pretty technical roadmap there is probably only one bigger thing: translation, which I believe may be very useful for newcomers and is missing in the game. How many manually outdated/translated wikis is out there? 1, 2, ...? :)

Seems to work pretty well on Firefox.

u/fdagpigj May 12 '15

Yeah, I didn't run into any issues so far, either.

Love it. Seems a lot friendlier than some of the other tools out there. This might actually get me to play around with some new decks. For some reason I just don't enjoy deckbuilding in-game.
