CFB27 Nation

I spent the last few months building CFB27 Nation (https://cfb27.com), an independent resource site for EA Sports College Football 27 players. THE PROBLEM: Tracking CFB 27 info is a mess. Player ratings on one site, Dynasty guides on YouTube, playbook tips on Reddit, server status on Twitter, lineup ideas in a spreadsheet. You need 8 tabs open just to plan a season. WHAT I BUILT: An all-in-one site with 15+ interactive browser tools: - Playbook Finder — matches playbooks to your offensive/defensive style - Dynasty Team Picker — questionnaire-based team matching in 2 minutes - Ultimate Team Lineup Builder + Market Watchlist - Team Ratings Tracker — clearly labels official data vs editorial estimates - "Can I Play Now?" access diagnostic & server status checker - Best Settings Optimizer — slider presets for passing, defense, camera, controller - Daily source-checked news & patch notes Every tool works instantly in-browser with zero logins. No accounts. No paywalls. TECH STACK: - React Router v7 SSG (144 pre-rendered static HTML pages, no SSR overhead) - PostgreSQL 17 + PostgREST API layer - Caddy file_server (three deployment slots: prod/test-a/test-b) - Runs on a $6/month VPS, zero SaaS dependencies - Google Analytics 4 (dual property) with first-party fallback CURRENT STATUS: The site is live at https://cfb27.com. I'm the only person working on this — development, content, design, deployment. NEXT STEPS: - Growing organic traffic through SEO and community directories - Adding more interactive tools based on player feedback - Building a Discord community for CFB 27 players WHAT I'D LOVE FEEDBACK ON: - Tool UX — which tools feel most useful? Which are confusing? - Content strategy — what CFB 27 topics are underserved right now? - Growth channels — what's worked for your niche community site? Happy to answer any questions about the tech or the build process!
