I’ve finally deployed a preliminary version of the Tasting Tracker for this year’s Whisky Fringe. While deeply unfinished, and so far only populated with test data, a bunch of stuff’s already implemented:
- A long list of whiskies arranged by distillery or whisky name
- Ability to add the whisky to your wishlist ahead of the event
- Ability to score a whisky out of 5
- Ability to add private tasting notes to a whisky – before, during or after the event
- Filter whiskies by whether or not you liked, disliked or just tasted them
- Publish lists of whiskies that you liked, disliked or tasted and optionally include your tasting notes – and also including links to the RMW site to quickly add desired whiskies to your shopping basket
- Some limited mobile browsing support in terms of layout
Yet to go:
- Activity feed
- Linking in a social media account
- Statistics
- Something other than the default Bootstrap theme
- Possibly some offline support
- Cross-browser and mobile-browser testing
What’s deployed is there only for interest, will change without notice and contains only test data (i.e. last year’s whisky list) for now.
