Concerns raised: CORS limitations prevent pure single-file HTML from working locally without extensions, Unclear whether model selection difficulty counts toward skill rating
Feature requests: Separate ratings by model instead of lumping all models together, Allow task/idea submissions from community before competition rounds, Support for 'pure' vs 'stacked' competition variants (with/without external files), Extended development window (10 days) post-competition for continued work
