Introducing Marble Track 3

No due date 50% complete

Marble Track 3 is being made by me, but I want the website to show it being made by Marble Track 3 Construction Crew.

This version of the site should focus on making the project understandable and interesting.

Marble Track 3 is being made by me, but I want the website to show it being made by Marble Track 3 Construction Crew.

This version of the site should focus on making the project understandable and interesting.

Episodes

There is one more set of pages you should see as well. https://www.marbletrack3.com/episode/ This page is hidden from normal visitors. I would like the design of this page to match the rest of the site, but I do not want the page to be linked from the menus.

Episodes are driven with the file at https://github.com/marbletracks/marbletrack3.com/blob/master/data/playlists/knownvideos.toml This file is updated with calls to Youtube API, driven by this script https://github.com/marbletracks/go-get-video-durations

I am very happy with the way this all works. I only want to redesign the /episodes page to match the rest of the site.

Parts / Workers

See how these pages are linked between Workers and Tracks? For example, https://www.marbletrack3.com/parts/caret_splitter_feeder_extension/ source code includes an array of Workers that worked on the track. There will be many many more tracks to come, and I eventually need a way to allow human fans/supporters of the project to suggest names of parts.

Thanks

There will eventually be many more pages available under https://www.marbletrack3.com/thanks/ There are no pictures of people here yet, but this section is to thank the people who have helped me with the track. The Sweets Party Attendants have helped me with translations. Two more people have helped financially, but I do not have images / permission to show them on the site. I would like a page under /thanks/ to be for this general support.

Steps

Under "Step by Step" https://www.marbletrack3.com/snippets/ my idea is not nearly finished. If you click the first Step you see this page, https://www.marbletrack3.com/snippets/0010_setting_the_stage/ The Step is a detailed description of the first video snippet in this playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KjsYc4Mb5g&list=PL0osPGt21FB48UwuhtCUoi9JndC9YDHAZ

In order to drive this part of the site, I want to create a data file similar to
I have sketched out a file at https://github.com/marbletracks/marbletrack3.com/blob/master/static/track_listing.txt but I have not written a way to parse it nor easily populate it. There is no way to automatically create this data file, so I need to have a reliable way to manually add new sections to it.

I would like for each written Step to be linked to the corresponding second of output video.

This line

`0:32 "candy_mama" | Snake Plate Chopstick`

for now, will create text on the site for Snake Plate Chopstick and link it to second 32 of the correct video https://youtu.be/2bP7Irt5hHc?t=32

I imagine this is a mini-project of its own, so I do not mind if we do not work on it. But I am open to questions, ideas, and suggestions for it.
