Project #1 Day 0
Today is the day, we begin our 12 projects in 12 months. I'm nervous, excited, and curious.
This post will be somewhat short, I'll go over the general details of the 1st project.
Introducing...
BRDS.gg (Leaderboards abbreviated).
My friends and I like to play competitive shooters online, or PVP games as they are also known. For extra fun, we keep a spreadsheet using Google Sheets and track our kills between games and sessions.
Here is a screenshot of our current spreadsheet:
The general idea here is to replicate that spreadsheet but make it more fun, and customizable. The general features will include the following: (keeping in mind we want to complete this in a month).
- Allow users to create games and include custom fields for that game and what they want to track.
- Allow users to create "sessions" and choose one of the games they created.
- Generate a shareable link so the session can be shared with friends for real-time collaboration.
- Users can add their scores for each game as they play in a "spreadsheet" style leaderboard UI.
- Allow users to save sessions and view metrics on them across their games.
Pricing
Sessions will be free to create but will charge a small monthly fee if they want to store their sessions to get long-term and get metrics on them. I'm not sure about the pricing yet but it will be cheap and will also offer a one-time lifetime access payment. The aim of this is not to make money but to build monetizable products. I outlined this in my previous post.
Honestly, I'd really just like to cover my costs for domains, databases, etc.
I'm excited about this because I'm an avid gamer so this will be something I can get behind.
I'll post more frequent updates over on my x account here so make sure to follow if you want to join along with this endeavor.
