Training.tf TF2 resources index

I've knocked up a website for searching, rating and submitting training and information resources for competitive TF2 at training.tf. I've spent a couple of days inputting most of the stuff that's easy to find, it's predominantly on 6v6 but HL content (or even if you've got some 4v4 stuff or something exotic) is also OK as long as it's not a dead format.

The motivation for the site is to try to provide a centralised resource that the community can continue to contribute to over time which will alleviate a lot of stuff becoming scattered and lost as tends to be the case.

Feel free to submit stuff, self promotion is find as long as it's quality content. The site support youtube and twitch but please link to twitch highlights as they are more likely to stick around unlike normal twitch videos which expire. The kind of content I'm looking for is instructional or aimed at improving people's understanding of the game, so in depth reviews and so on are good, not just gameplay.

One thing I'm reluctant to add is Povs with no comms or commentary. There are so many out there they will just flood the index and their instructional value is limited. Povs with comms are OK, but I probably won't include things on dead maps like Obscure and others, and even with comms there'll be a bit of a bar to entry in terms of the importance or result of the game.

I've done a shitty job of making the tags search clear. The first box in the search bar contains tags for the resources. You can select 6v6 or Highlander tag and it filters the list by that. You're not the first to miss that, I need to do something there to make it more obvious how that works

There are loads of tags for classes, maps, types of resource, etc

ur a handsome man

now all we need is for it to not die in a month, lots of work has been put into filling this with stuff already

in terms of feedback, having a date for each resource would be nice as newer videos are generally preferred over older ones

gemmin terms of feedback, having a date for each resource would be nice as newer videos are generally preferred over older ones

I've recorded this data where possible but not used it as quite a lot of stuff is reposted from other channels and it doesn't have the original date on it so there's quite a bit that's misleading. Something being old also doesn't mean that it's low quality, so if it gets some use the rating system might help solve that but we'll see.
