I recognise this from the university, most impressive & intriguing final project of the lot - it was praised heavily by the lecturer too.

Bravo on the work, I'll put it to use for sure this summer.

Where does it source its data from?


Very nice.

Have you considered displaying a growing log of each question answered & selected answer as the user progresses through the options?


I was thinking to show the journey of the user through questions/answers at the end when there is a final answer, but having growing log during the progress would be better for sure, nice idea!


Microsoft Excel 2003 (or at least the copy I was stuck with) had a weird bug where if the final column of a CSV spreadsheet with headers was empty (column header there but no data) then the outputted CSV file would only contain the correct amount of commas for affected rows up until the 16th line before it just started discounting the commas to indicate an empty field at the end of the table.

This would cause all sorts of errors with the program I had to upload the files to.

My only work around was a series of Regex based find and replaces in Notepad++, I could have perhaps scripted something automatic but I was on a very locked down machine at the time.

It was one of many weird MS Office bugs I had on a A3 sheet pinned to my cubicle wall.


What's the maximum note length if it's going to be stored in the URL?


Is https://bottr.co/examples meant to be bare of a stylesheet?


I've fixed it up so it has at least the minimal styling from the main website.


Another very interesting aircraft is the experimental Su-47, with only one ever being built. Its forward-swept wing design make it a treat for the eye.

I saw in the article they mentioned new prototypes in the near future. You think they'll have something to unveil in the next few years?


The accepted and very informed answer to to a similar question on StackOverflow concludes that it is unlikely.

They do look incredibly cool though.


A national study released this year showed Sixty-five to 79 is the happiest age group for adults in the UK. Though this declined in the over-80s.

So what happens around the age of 80?

your friends start to die?


Can you go anyway to expand on how I'd go about setting up my own server for this?

The FAQ is not clear to me.


You are right, it's not explained at all. That's because I have been focusing mainly on the client code. That said, you can find some example server code at https://github.com/FacileAudio/facile-server Yes it lacks documentation but it should be pretty straightforward to set up. If not, just be patient till I'll get to write some how-to.


Excellent, thanks.


The UK then.


There've been a bunch in the Greater Toronto Area in recent years, as well.
