Hello everyone!
For several years I participated in various sport programming competetions and I was always dreaming to create my own game. And I've made something: http://cftoolkit.nic11.ru/ . Well, this is not a game, but still a project that will be useful for me and you hopefully. :)
The only funtion it has right now is rating update notifications. And yes, it's ready to notify you about today's rating change.
Why am I writing this post now but not after the contest when everyone is nervously pressing F5 awaiting new digits in 'Rating' column? I want to test how it works. And the best way to test something is to invite testers. I hope that little VPS will survive Codeforces users' attack :)
If you want to help making it ready for today's contest, all you have ot do is head to http://cftoolkit.nic11.ru/rating_update_notifier , allow desktop notifications, wait a few hours and tell me if it worked correctly. In 2-3 hours after this post I will launch fake rating update notification. (UPD. Just launched. PM or reply if you didn't see notification or didn't hear the sound)
What you should expect:
- You should hear this sound: http://cftoolkit.nic11.ru/static/sounds/notification.ogg (that's the best sound I could find)
- You should see desktop notification, which says that rating is updated. After the click you should be redirected to codeforces.com . It will tell 'Contest is not started' and that's OK.
Don't forget to mention your OS, its architecture and browser. Thanks for your help :)
