Welcome to Admirably
Latest major updates
-
Daily RunMajor
The Competitions Tracker now has a "Daily Run" page - each day 10 competitions are shown that match your search preferences. If you have a quick 5 minutes for comping, here's the list to work down. You can also ignore any competitions that you don't wish to enter and they'll be removed from future daily runs.
-
Website RedesignMajor
A much needed full redesign of the website. It's now very pink. And hopefully works a lot better.
-
Competitions by Entry Type, My Entries and Sidebar Ad TweaksMajor
- Added Competitions by Entry Type - Browse by Daily / Weekly / Social Comps
- Reworked the Header Navigation to support all these new links
- My Entries section reworked - duplicate entries fixed, added stats bar, a "Ready to enter again" section and compact list view.
- Sidebar ad now sits outside a 1260px container on screens 1910px and wider and is removed below that so competition lists are full width.
-
Tracker ImprovementsMajor
The Competition Tracker is now an organised dashboard rather than a red/green list: dailies have their own section with today's progress, open competitions show countdowns, closing soon is highlighted, closed competitions sit in a separate paged history, and entering again from the tracker now counts as an entry.
-
Readzee.com Launched!Major
For the past week I've been playing around with readzee.com - yet another RSS feed reader, similar to Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, etc. But built exactly for me, exactly how I want it to work.
At the moment it has the core features - user accounts, feed subscriptions, folders, article view panes. More features coming as I realize they're needed.
-
Statistics, Deals and FreebiesMajor
Competition Whale now has a competitions statistics page derived from the competitions it's hosting. Did you know that the average online competition runs for 41.4 days? Neither did I.
Also added a Deals and Freebies page which hosts the same Amazon feed as this website in more detail.
-
Band Explore WallMajor
Sheffield Gigs now has a band explore wall - explore artists by their profile photos. I've always had the idea of exploring bands by their merchandise and this might be the first step.
-

Competition SearchMajor
"Why is there no search bar/button on the website? Surely this is a no-brainer addition in order to make finding competitions much easier?" - Feedback from a visitor
Good point! It's now been added.
-
Competition Prize DetailsMajor
- Competition cards now pull through product descriptions from Amazon to give more context to the prizes on offer.
