14meters v3.0
Well, we’re back in action! The new version of 14meters is now live.
This version represents a completely new codebase. Everything was rebuilt from the ground up with a much broader focus. The original 14meters was built on top of AskFRED. This new version now works with both AskFRED and US Fencing national results. And FIE data is on its way in the near future.
This is a fundamental shift in the direction of 14meters, away from an AskFRED-only application into a full fencing data platform. Fencers and coaches alike now have access to powerful statistics and analytics across multiple data sources.
Along with a shift in scope, we’re shifting to make 14meters primarily a private, paid platform. Its our hope that this will help address the variety of issues that lead to us having to go offline over the last 2-ish years. Our goal is to make this a long-term service for the fencing community, and to do that, we have to build ourselves as a sustainable, stable business from the start.
