Introducing the Newbridge Navigator

[kleinsbeer]

I guess since I'm from the UK it redirected me to a .co.uk domain ...weird.

Nice work and thank you!  Are the episodes compatible on a mobile device by chance?

[kleinsbeer]

The site itself is mobile compatible. Unfortunately the links to the episodes go to the WFMU popup player, which is flash, so no (although you can run flash on android, it's not exactly a good experience). Can't really do anything about that unless WFMU decide to make the shows available in a mobile friendly format I'm afraid.

[AspiringCanadian]

Fair enough.  It'd be awesome to have some day just to avoid having large files saved to your phone.  Either way, the site is great and thanks again

[JRSly]

This is incredible!

Is it crazy, JRSly, to envision a day when your mind-melting map of Newbridge is joined up to kleinsbeer's Newbridge Navigator?

 The thought of these two projects possibly coming together, reminds me of several noted historical occasions when peanut butter met up with chocolate:

Indeed, I'd love to see something like that happen. I'm not exactly knowledgeable on the process entirely, but I had hoped my next step might be having the map, or another style map based on the original, be interactive and dynamic.

This is truly amazing. Thank you for this!

[cameron]

it seems like you only have character appearances on this thing if the appearance is in the episode title?

[Josh]

ABBAsolutely outstanding.

I love you.

Yeah, there are still quite a few episodes that I need to go through

Hey! This is great!

Thanks for building this.

Now, I have no idea how hard this would be to implement.  But wouldn't it be great if we could annotate the episodes, like Wikipedia, or maybe RapGenius?

Thanks! Sounds interesting, although I think it may be more of a human challenge than a technical one. Opening up an effectively unmoderated site to public user contributed content is pretty much asking for trouble.

[RemyLBO]

Yes, I agree that it sounds terrifying. 

I don't know how the other sites do it.  Also, I think there was a Best Show wiki from a few years ago that didn't as much love as you might hope.

Hey everyone,

I've added JRSly's fantastic map to the site. Check it out at http://newbridgenavigator.pythonanywhere.com/map

Dreams do come true!!!

Ahh, the tears of joy.
