'Book Points'

Points


Purpose

  1. To give TBD's visitors a way to track their progress (knowledge, resource accumulation, etc.) throughout their civil rights journey.

About

  1. Value
    1. Current
    2. Increase
      • your point totals increase by user activity (eg, commenting, liking, etc.) (see Table A)
    3. Decrease
      • as of now, there is no way to lose points on TextBookDiscrimination.com (see Table A)
    4. Real-World Value = 0
      • these points do not have any real-world value (in terms of government currency).
      • thus, these 'Book Points' are akin to points in a video/arcade game
    5. Cost = 0
      • these points cannot be purchased.
  2. Data
    1. Browser-Specific
      • These points are tied to your web browser (see lightgray box at the top)
    2. Shortcomings
      • If you visit TBD with different browsers then you will have different point totals
      • If you visit TBD with different devices then you will have different point totals
    3. Control
      • You have control over your points data
        • Example: you can delete your points via your Browser's Cache/History
    4. Durability (very low)
      • Since your browser stores your points, some of your software updates could wipe them out.
    5. Lightweight
      • As you can probably tell, your Points Data has a very small data footprint (ie, it is very lightweight)
  3. Technology
    1. Cookies (no)
      • These Book Points are not stored in Browser Cookies (ie, tiny data files stored on client devices)
      • Instead, they are stored in your browser's Session Storage
    2. JavaScript (yes)
      • These Book Points are accessed/increased with the use of JavaScript™
    3. Recommended Usage: Google Chrome
      • you'll probably get the best user-experience if you use Google Chrome

Dates

  • Initiation
    • 3/22/2023 marks the first day in which these Book Points were released
    • note: available only on certain pages/directories
  • Sitewide Implementation
    • TBD intends to apply Book Points throughout the entire website by June 1, 2023 (ie, within 2 months of initiation)
  • Missing Activity
    • Therefore, activity that preceded 3/22/23 will not boost your Book Points
    • Plus, activity that preceded 6/1/23 might not boost your Book Points
    • Feel Free to Contact TBD to recover past points (free, but time-consuming)

Features

  • Automatic
    • increases/updates are performed automatically
  • Fast
    • Calculations are performed without any noticeable impact to page load speeds
  • Free
    • Book Points do not cost any money to acquire
  • Leaderboard
    • Analyze how you've progressed throughout time
    • Compare your progress with the progress of other visitors
  • Numerical
    • Book Points are strictly numerical; and - therefore - are easy to track
  • Refresh Guard
    • refreshing a page (ie, with [F5]) will not increase the point totals (re-visiting a page will, though)
  • Uninvasive
    • Does not require user accounts
  • Visual Notification
    • a simple animation runs [on the top bar] in order to signal a change in your Book Points

TBD's Commentary

  • This is just an easy/simple/uninvasive way to track how much progress (knowledge, resources, etc.) you've made in your civil rights journey
  • Initial Rollout: this initial rollout has some limitations; and those limitations exist due to:
    1. restrictions on development time; and
    2. unknown popularity (ie, TBD does not yet know how much users/visitors will like the 'Book Points')
  • TBD's Founder uses this website everyday, and he's looking forward to this point system (read more about TBD here)
  • In the future, TBD will make these Book Point's more robust
