Durable Execution offers three key benefits:

    It improves application reliability by providing fault tolerance.
    It simplifies code by allowing it to focus on the goal instead of potential problems.
    It accelerates development by eliminating the need to write complex error-handling logic.

Why is it such a big deal? Genuine question, not trying to be snarky

Mind if I ask which mode were you playing? Was it "Find a country" or "Guess a country"? It might be due to the countries being too small. I maintain a separate small countries list [1] from the bigger ones [2]

I didn't come up with a good way to show small countries so it is the way it is. Would love to hear suggestion though!

I just turned the repo public for your reference.

Picking a question from a continent is shuffle and then pick question per round, so "pick without replacement" https://github.com/kmcheung12/geo-dude/blob/main/server/inde...

Disclaimer, used a lot of AI so I didn't read every line of code

I made a similar but uglier little party game https://geo-dude.com for my kids. Supports up to 4 players

1. is very doable. My local gym uses an app to manage monthly leaderboard already and people seem to like it. There is a friendly rivalry in my local gym where people "fight" for the top spots

2. A lot can be done from the helping beginner angle. A coach told me he wishes to show hip placement and movement to young climbers, as it is easier to show than to tell an 8yo. I thought of doing inverse kinematics from holds to resolve body positions, so I get beta (sequence of moves) for each problem right away. Too hard, don't know if it is solvable.

A bit tangential, I think in theory the climbing wall with a set of problems is itself an identifiable code. We might get rid of the QR code too. I can create an index of visual features that resolves to a camera position, raycast from camera position to narrow down to maybe 3-5 problems, and select videos from there. But I digress.

For outdoor problems, I imagine it will be more like a map, and recording be taken with a drone. This is in contrast to the climbing magazine with plain photos of route.

I also think the usefulness decline as climbing ability increase. At the end of the day, climber just want to climb. But maybe there is some strava angle I can explore.

Appreciate your feedback, thank you!

If you see climbing world cup/championship, there is this 3D modelling thing [1]. I want that for my weekly bouldering.

I scanned my local climbing gym into 3D mesh using iphone. Built a simple editor to trim, merge, move/rotate meshes. You can interact with the mesh, view routes, view climb, etc. So this is unlike many gaussian splatting projects where the main use is for viewing. I built a pipeline in updating climbing walls. Climbing routes are manually annotated. Climbing videos are registered against the 3D mesh. Based on one input video, body positions resolved into 3D/4D space. you can view the body landmarks from different angle.

COLMAP, OpenMVS, fastapi, svelte, database is just local json files. A read only build is exported so I can host on github page

If you climb, or know someone who climbs, would love to hear your feedback. Do you usually record your climbs? If I make this a service, what will make you use it?
