If CFP has been already closed, but still returned by JSON file - mark it or hide completely.

Currently the front page appears as an empty table with headers for users blocking javascript (eg. with NoScript browser addon).

Adding a message using HTML's <noscript> tag could make it obvious for such users that the page is not broken (or has no data), but that they have to enable JavaScript.

Here's example of such simple message displayed only to users without JS support.

I would like to open discussion about redesign - I believe all we see it is time for it! What information should be addeded, what more we would like to see on homepage? I will try to propose some designs here, probably by PNG image simply, and I encourage anyone to do the same.

Each row should contain info/tags on the technology discussed at each conference. This way, we can quickly sort (column filter) on the ones relevant e.g. .NET, AI, Docker, DevOps etc

There is a bug causing "No matching records found" displayed instead of data on Windows Phone.

We need RSS feed, which gives us automatically: twitter, facebook, etx via IFTTT

Love the site - really useful resource. A few suggestions for additional columns that I'd like to see:

CoC - does the conf have a Code of Conduct or an explicit diversity policy?
Commercial - Is this a commercial or community conf?
Transparent Finances - does the conf publish its finances?
Compensates Speakers - does the conf compensate its speakers? If so, to what level - travel & accom or speaking fees as well?

As a speaker, knowing these details matters. I am more than prepared to speak at a small community conf that's getting started & can't afford to pay my expenses. A commercial conf that presents itself as a community event whilst not paying speakers & making a large profit - not so much.

As cfp.help is getting more popular (isn't it?), I believe it would be nice to add some analytics - will allow to track and report traffic.

The conference disapere in the start of C4P end date (00:00:00) instead of the end of day (23:59:59.999)

Although this may sound trivial and something that could easily be solved by an GoogleBing search, a link to the actual conference site could save time and effort.

I suggest we add a link to this CoC
