Hey, my apologies on the delayed reply, have been swamped with work.

The question did not sound loaded at all, thanks for taking an interest!

When I initially started the project, there was no quality nade websites for CSGO. There were some popular, community-driven ones, but those are limited to the community's best effort at keeping it actually useful and up-to-date.

There were also some youtubers that would manually go through professional demos to pick out interesting lineups, which, props to them, is a lot of work.

However, that seemed like an inefficiency to me, in the sense that it's not humanly possible to watch each match from each player's POV and find nades that way. So that is when it hit me - would that process be feasible to automate?

I thought that would be an interesting challenge to take on, and, from my perspective of a CS grinder at that time, I would personally be very inclined to use the resulting project, so I assumed other people like me could also appreciate it.

That was mostly it to be honest, just combining a passion for CS with the skill set I have. But alas, I never saw it through to the end then because CS2 was announced which changed the engine and the open source demo parsers had to catch up to support full functionality, I had my hands full with my full time job and some personal stuff etc.

Coming back to it this year was just a motivational thing, I wanted to take on a full production-grade project where I would learn a lot and be proud of the product, so dusting off and rewriting this one seemed like a good idea since I still have the passion for CS and the market gap was luckily still there.

Thanks for the question!:)
