RRATFR Manager

Rock River Anything That Floats Race | Race Manager

Full documentation available at notion.so

Purpose

This project was created to streamline the organizational efforts of the Rock River Anything That Floats Race. Running on NodeJS, this project displays a powerful web interface where administrators can manage raft information, conduct raft timing, and display results to the public. A smart timing plugin and a custom web voting limiter for the People's Choice Award were both built in-house and from scratch by myself. This manager is now live at rratfr.rakerman.com and has been in use since 2019.
