HEAD 2 HEAD! (2 HEAD?) Another useful thing I thought of years ago and didn’t get to until 2021.

Now you can compare up to THREE Crew side-by-side! Improved with Intelligent Autocomplete for March 2022. I used the same method that Twitter does. Check it out.

The biggest challenge for me was simply coming up with the easiest way to select which crew you would like to compare. There are over 1000 of them after all.

Lucky for you, each of the input fields above are pre-populated with every crew name in the database via the magic of javascript and php. Just start typing the name of the crew and the system fills in the rest. The new Intelligent Autocomplete handles punctuation just fine, so you can ignore this next paragraph from 2021. Since single and double quotes are the bane of programming and database interaction, I eliminated them so you just type as if they didn’t exist. ie. to find “The Colony” Tilly… just type The Colony…. without the quotes. Oh, and it’s not case-sensitive… which makes it even easier.

Oh (again), and since I over-think everything… the input fields are persistent. This way you can swap out new crew to compare without having to re-type everything.

I use this a lot myself. Have fun! — erickelly
