Questions related to jsperf.com ...

[broofa]

First, thanks for doing this. jsperf.com was a great resource for the community, and it's very cool to see it brought back to life this way!

It does beg some questions, of course, which might be good fodder for the README (if you know the answers)...

• What happened to jsperf.com?
• Are you in contact with the original jsperf.com author?
• How is it you have access to the test code (and results?) for legacy jsperf.com tests?
• Can a [legacy] jsperf.com account be migrated to jsperf.app? (I know the URLs work, but it'd be nice to track down the URLs and results for my old jsperf.com tests)

@broofa - Thanks for the questions. I will of course write a better README.

• Not sure - it seemed to just fall into a state of disrepair - flooded with spam, unmaintained.
• I have no contact with the jsperf.com author. I needed the tool I was most familiar with so I wrote jsperf.app to be the site we all once knew and loved in the hope that it could be better maintained going forwards.
• The code and legacy tests were recovered from archive.org, I have no database dump or anything like that.
• Not sure how an account migration would work practically - the problem is that the original tests I recovered were not associated by github account ID or similar - just by "author name". I'll have a think on this one.
