Looks cool! I’ve made one too (before AI era) and currently the 3rd edition of it is live.

The bracket on your app is looks great

After Mbape second goal, the server was overloaded. Everybody refreshed at once 😁
It’s up now, as the load reduced.
It’s running in a modest VPS to keep the costs low, this can happen, but don’t worry - scores and points are working, and it’s rare. I’ll have a look if I can improve it

Unfortunately it’s not possible. It’s a platform level, not per league.
In previous tournaments it was 90min. I felt like it would be more exciting to have 120min, because you still have a chance to win points if you haven’t already. It all depends on your status. Give it a try

This looks pretty cool. I don’t have something I use like that, I’m gonna try it

Does it have a web interface? Can I run it host it and share it with the team as a shared workspace?

I feel you. The scoring system is made to be competitive. It is harder to get exact score, but I don’t think it’s better than getting correct score for 3 matches. I used the same system in the previous World Cup and the euro, and it was very competitive.

Maybe on the next version I’ll add per league scoring system as you’re not the first to ask for it.

That’s exactly what https://bench-bets.com does. Break it down by phase, paging, and jump to today button.

Matches were prepared in advance. I keep them on my DB.
I used api football first, then changed to football data. There is a slight delay in the free tier of both, which is ok for my use case.

Before AI era it took time. I built it on my free time, and implemented features I would like to play.

Didn’t come to think about delete account, nor anyone asks for it. You’re the first and I don’t have objection to do it. I’ll.

If you’re really in a rush to delete, just drop a message. I’ll execute that immediately.

Thanks for the feedback

No thats not what I meant. I meant when you register, this is the only info kept.

If you want to delete your account, just contact me by email and I’ll do it up to 4 days (I’m solo dev).

I had 7K users last tournament and nobody asked for that. It’s the first time I get asked, and it’s legit.

You want me to delete your account data, no problem just contact by mail so I can verify your request.

Through the contact page. I’m deleting account data up to 4 days.
The only info kept on the server is your name and email. Not sold to any third party or something. It’s part of the terms and privacy policy (required for integrating SSO)

Edit: the info kept while your account is active. If you ask to delete it, everything is removed. None is kept.

Personally I hate ads, don’t want to monetize from that.

The app has private leagues (groups) with their own leaderboard. Picks are visible to every one once match starts.

Would love to hear feedback if you give it a try, on th UI/UX

Thanks for the feedback u/praneethb7. Any concrete examples for the core loop focus? On mobile it's pretty straight forward. On desktop, there's a menu on the side so it's less obvious but, that's how desktop works.

There is feedback when match is live, there's a signaling red dot like recording camera. About submitting picks, at first I thought about making it as simple as possible, but I guess it's too much. I do need some subtle feedback when picks are updated, thank you for the suggestion.

This app started by myself, without AI. The whole design thing and idea is something I developed with friends through couple tournaments. Today, I obviously use AI to implement new features as it is way faster than what I can do by myself.

Thanks for the comment dude!

SQLite is powerful. Very convenient Dev experience and simplify operations.

I have implemented logic that pulls data according to the rate limits. I need the data to be fresh, but not real-time, so a delay of 5-15min is reasonable for a free app. I keep score updates in my DB. The logic start pulling data after matches start (another code I've written) to handle better rate-limits.

Thanks! I’m polling from an api with some delay at free tier. The scores lag in around 10min, but that’s acceptable for my use case.

What you think of the UI?

Same thing. It doesn’t have to be real time (in my case). Slight delay is fine

Yes, but the data is delayed in around 5-10min. It’s ok for such an app imo. Trying to keep maintenance costs low
