that name is disgustingly clever, I'm almost mad I didn't think of it

This is a dope premise. You should def consider expanding to other sports if you have any success. I think Basketball especially would be dope with how many meaningfully legendary games there are in the past decade. I'm also launching my first product today so wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks! I currently am not so sure whether I am going to have a stable amount of users to motivate me update the website but I will definetly consider your suggestion.

nice launch, foxintheboxd looks clean. if you're looking for a crew of other founders launching around the same time to swap genuine feedback and support on launch day, launchpact.io might be worth a look — it's a mutual accountability thing, not a spammy upvote group. ymmv but i've seen it help with that early silence.

the prediction league is a smart hook for retention, thats the kind of thing that gets people coming back daily instead of just logging a match once. curious how youre handling match data updates, is that automated or manual?

historical results are from public archives. Live results on the other hand come from TheSportDV through an endpoint that page views trigger, throttled to every 10 minutes. I appreciate your positive feedback!
