Unique Features in Track Warcraft

There are several similar sites, including beimba, wowheroes, pugchecker, etc. However, TrackWarcraft has a few features that I haven't seen other places:

1. multi-character look up - with the addon you can instantly look up stats on everyone in /LFG or your raid. It lets you easily pick out who's geared enough. Other sites I've seen require you to look up each character individually, which takes a lot of time if there are 20 people in /LFG and you're looking for the best geared. Here's an example multi-character lookup.


2. rss/atom feed for a character - you can subscribe to updates (achievements, gear upgrades, new levels, etc) with your favorite feed reader, such as Google Reader.


3. speed - all of the armory requests are parallelized, so it should be fast, even if you look up 5 characters at once. The site runs on Google App Engine, so it's distributed and should be reliable.

There are also a few features that other sites have that Track Warcraft doesn't yet have, but I'd like to work on:

1. gear score - Currently trackwarcraft only gives the average item level and doesn't take into account enchants or gems. Be.imba has an API that I'll try to use to get a gear score that takes into account gems and enchants.


2. mobile interface - some of the armory lite sites provide a layout that's great for mobile phones. I'll try to make one, perhaps with a single column and larger text.


3. more graphics - The CSS and graphics are a bit weak. I'd like to improve the layout and make the site better looking.
