Hello starcraft enjoyers. I'd like to introduce you an app I built. I would call it a replay/build order management application. I hope it will be useful for advanced players as much as for low tier players.
It will help newcomers to learn build orders and advanced players to work with replays and meta strategies.

What is functionality? Admin users can add build orders using a simple editor

This is how build order representation looks like

It's possible to filter build orders by match-up and tags.
Admin users can also link replays to build orders.

User can search for replays using filters (by race, player, build order and map)
+ Show Spoiler +

I spend quite a lot of time on this app with hope it would be useful for the community.

It's not on a separated domain name but will be soon.

You can find the source code here github.com and here github.com.
It isn't piece of art, but I hope to improve it over time.

If you're interested in the app or want to talk about broodwar you can join our discord server discord.gg.

We are looking for advanced players who would like to participate in app management. If you are work with replays and build orders and want to share it with the community we would love to help you with it.

so.. it's just empty right now? I don't quite get it. When I select Zerg as my race and Protoss as the opponent race, then most of the build orders are green for Protoss. but no matter what I click on, it doesn't show anything. I tried it in different browsers, but no luck.

I'm sorry, I forget to add it. There is no content yet, only the demonstration example for PvZ. I don't think I'm capable to manage content part. I don't have enough game experience so it's pointless to add content I haven't tryed. I'll support software part if there is people who want to use it.

We have people who would like to use it, especially low tier players, but we so far have only one person who would like to manage the app from protoss side. This is one of the reasons I made a post here with no content in the app.

About tags, it is possible to add tags of the race of build order and opponent race at the same time, so you can find counter play for your situation.

I see. You could try copying builds from other resources.
For example the Bag of Builds discord: https://discord.gg/pQST7qnH6w
Or this build order sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O0XEPA9ZxqkMsul7UjEt1wotvkBE1drB/edit?gid=1989302709#gid=1989302709

Additionally a feature suggestion: let users create an account and manage their own build orders. Admins could then simply approve some of the private build orders for the public. That way you don't need to search for admins to know build orders to add them, but they would rather be moderators.

I'm not sure whether it's relevant or helpful, but some build orders used by bots (which are mostly quite simple build orders) can be seen at https://www.basil-ladder.net/build_orders.html and it shows the in-game times to produce each unit. Also, Dave Churchill wrote a build order search system in his bot (UAlbertaBot) and he used to host a tool to create & visualizer build orders, as illustrated at https://satirist.org/ai/starcraft/blog/archives/1076-BOSS-build-order-visualizer.html but it doesn't seem to be online any more. It didn't support the Zerg race very well though. Some other bots have their own build order optimization logic, some of which are based on UAlbertaBot. Steamhammer and any bots based on it probably have the most sophisticated build order configuration system. Some bots like Stardust have extremely optimized mineral-gathering too, so they can finish some build orders quicker and/or with less workers compared to humans.
