miles c239d8c062 Document live server-backed list and admin UI

Revise README to describe the new live server-backed list and admin editor. Adds/renames pages (lists.html = static, serverlist.html = live list, admelist.html = admin UI), clarifies shared data format for data.txt and server/data.txt, and documents the fallback order (/api/list → server/data.txt → data.txt). Includes instructions to run the Node server (server/server.js, HOST/PORT examples), a note on static serving for development, files added (server/server.js, server/data.txt, start-server.command, server/LINUX_SERVICE_SETUP.txt), and editor features (draft rows, numbering/shift behavior, delete flow, live refresh). Also clarifies where live vs static data is stored and that no build step is required.

GD FEDL

A Geometry Dash FEDL-style website with both a static list and a live editable server list.

a home page
a static list page
a live server-backed list page
an admin editor page for the live list
a players page
a rules page

Project Files

index.html - home page
lists.html - static list view
serverlist.html - live server-backed list view
admelist.html - admin UI for editing the live list
players.html - player manager
rules.html - submission rules and mod guidelines
app.js - client-side logic
styles.css - site styling
data.txt - static fallback list data
server/data.txt - live server list data
server/server.js - Node.js server for the live list
start-server.command - one-click launcher for macOS
server/LINUX_SERVICE_SETUP.txt - Linux systemd setup notes

Data Format

Both data.txt and server/data.txt use the same format:

category|position|title|url

Example:

new|1|Flamewall|https://youtu.be/x4Io4zkWVRw

Fallback Order

The live list tries these in order:

/api/list
server/data.txt
data.txt

That means serverlist.html can still show data even if the live API is down.

Running The Static Site

If you only want the static pages, you can run a simple file server:

python3 -m http.server 8000

Then open:

http://localhost:8000

Running The Live Server

The live editor and live list use the Node server:

node server/server.js

Or to allow other devices on your network to connect:

HOST=0.0.0.0 PORT=3000 node server/server.js

Then open:

http://localhost:3000/serverlist.html
http://localhost:3000/admelist.html

On macOS you can also use:

start-server.command

Editing The Live List

Open admelist.html through the Node server.

Features:

add a new row at the top as a draft
give it a number when you want to place it
automatic shifting of other rows when a number is reused
delete rows only with the Delete button
live refresh on connected list pages after saving

Draft rows must be assigned a number before saving.

Hosting On Another Device

If you want one device to host the live list for other devices:

Run the server with HOST=0.0.0.0.
Open or forward port 3000.
Visit http://YOUR-IP:3000/serverlist.html or http://YOUR-IP:3000/admelist.html.

If you already have router port forwarding set up, point it to the machine running server/server.js.

Linux Service

For running the Node server automatically on boot on Linux, see:

server/LINUX_SERVICE_SETUP.txt

Notes

Player data is stored in the browser with localStorage
The players list is local to each browser/device
The live list data is stored in server/data.txt
The static fallback list data is stored in data.txt
The project does not need a build step
