<p>I decided to actually write on this blog (decision was made this morning and is final :D ).</p>
<p>On June 2nd I received an email from my adviser telling me about the <a href="https://www.synapse.org/Portal.html#!Challenges:DREAM"><span class="caps">DREAM</span> Challenges</a>. I kind of liked it as some sub-challenges fit exactly what I’ve been doing for that past few months, and that project is already in a phase that we’ve submitted a manuscript about it. So why not?</p>
<p>Going through their pages, I realized they’ve got a python client to interact with their databases; that’s cool, but it didn’t support python 3. As a result I made <a href="https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/synapsePythonClient/pull/150">this pull request</a> and at the moment of writing this post, they seem to be interested in accepting the commits (although the changes are not perfect and/or complete and more work is required).</p>
<p>Later I was reading challenge descriptions which made me interact with the website for a while, and that made me a bit frustrated. I have to say, I’m not a web-developer and I’m talking as a simple end user.</p>
<p>If I was the web-site’s development manager, I’d add these to the first possible <a href="http://www.scrumalliance.org/community/articles/2007/march/glossary-of-scrum-terms#1118">sprint</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add a proper navigation system to the website; currently you can only easily navigate within a challenge/project. You need to go to the home page first to go anywhere else.</li>
<li>Try to go to <span class="caps">DREAM</span> challenges, you need to go to the home page, wait for that timer based frame to come which has the link to the challenge, click on it. In my browser (chromium), I have to refresh the whole page if I miss it once, or wait for it to come again. So: add proper links, menus, or whatever you think suits the framework for a nice navigation to projects.</li>
<li>Within a challenge description page, click on a link and the whole page will be reloaded, slowly and painfully. For some reason the layout of the page changes through time after each part of the page is loaded. A simple markdown based static website works much faster and better, if you want it to be fancy, add proper <span class="caps">AJAX</span> components/codes to make it smooth and fast. The website has serious performance issues and seems unnecessarily heavy.</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m pretty sure developers have their reason for having the website the way it is, but those reasons must be justified/changed.</p>
