Allow saving the results

Open SebastianZ opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Browser Scope is gone and the related code is removed in #217, so there needs to be another solution for saving the results to compare them.

css3test.com is currently running as a GitHub page, which means it's static and no server-side scripting is involved.

So the solutions to save the test results are:

  1. Move the site to a server with access to scripting and a DB
  2. Find a new external solution similar to Browser Scope

As I wrote in another comment, we could use Firebase. It's a db, but fully accessible client-side, with a pretty nice API. Obviously, if something like Browserscope exists, that's less work than a roll-your-own solution using Firebase.

@LeaVerou As I wrote in #57, please feel free to set up a Firebase DB if you believe it can handle our use case well.

I am not aware of any website like Browser Scope.

The most comparable website I know is html5test.com. And that one uses a MySQL database. That page could at least be an inspiration for the data structure.
