So basically what the title says i was thinking what if someone was able to make a program that could do everything that basically splits.io did but on a user base level but generates a file you then upload to src that would then basically show everything how the splits.io link did. I dont know if anyone is interested in making it or helping me make it although i dont have much coding knowledge but i can try. Anyways thoughts and comments are always welcome even if you want to say "Its a stupid idea" or "Its dumb" etc etc. I will say only reason i think making a program for this is a good idea is because that way no one has to foot a bill to maintain a website. Yes people will have to foot the bill for time and effort it takes to make the program but as long as the program maintains support it wont have any issues that a website would have.

The alternative seems to the therun.gg. I think the developers have plans to implement this in the future.

I mean it is an alternative. But the only issue is they still have to pay a bill monthly to keep the site running not to mention people who have to run it and develop the website also costs money. My point being how long until they have to shutdown as well and then we are in the same problem as before. With nothing for it. I mean I don’t think my idea is much better anyways but it’s whatever. Hopefully it gets added eventually.

Creating a tool like splits.io is a great idea, especially if you're into speedrunning! You’ll want to focus on accurate timer integration, editable splits, and maybe cloud syncing. Consider using Python or JavaScript with Electron for cross-platform support. Let me know if you need help with frameworks or open-source timers!

not much of a developer tbf ik very basic stuff of python and that's being generous not to mention idk anything about JavaScript. Also working on a different program right now that could still be helpful for speed runners thats a route tracker for 100% speed-runs/any speed run really that requires collecting stuff. Still working on a way for people to be able to add stuff they need. Like proper documentation/instructions on how to add their game they want to add. But if you want to help with that or with making a splits.io clone then be my guess.
