Duosmium

Overview

Duosmium is a modernized platform that offers a comprehensive archive of tournament results formatted in the SciolyFF (Science Olympiad File Format). This new iteration, built with JavaScript (using the Eleventy framework), represents a significant shift from its predecessor, which was crafted in Ruby with the Middleman framework. The site is designed for ease of use, allowing users to access and contribute to valuable tournament data effectively.

Notably, Duosmium is geared towards developers and contributors who are familiar with web development, particularly those operating in Unix-based environments. It facilitates local development and builds processes, while also welcoming community contributions to enrich its data repository.
