Regadata - Open Race Data

This is a web application deticated to gather and present Regatta's Data. I first started this project for following the Vendée Globe 2012. It is composed of 4 main pages :

  • an "about" page explaining the reason why this project was started and the list of available reports (rankings + sail's analysis' pages),
  • a documentation page so developpers can easily build their own applications on top of the available Race Data,
  • ranking pages giving a detailled overview of the ranking,
  • sail's pages giving a detailed view about the selected sail (including graphs showing the evolution of the boat) + a comparison option allowing the user to compare 2 boats' evolution over the course of the race.

The data is stored in MongDb and then converted to different formats :

  • json
  • geojson
  • kml

It also comes with a set of command line commands to :

  • download official ranking' spreadsheet in XLS format
  • convert those XLS files into JSON + GEOJSON + KML files
  • automatically tweet about the latest ranking
