Shipped it!!

Finally! After a frustratingly slow year, Fantasy Congress 2.0 is live! It's 2am, I'm exhausted, and all my plants have died from neglect, but I couldn't be more proud of what I pulled together in the last few months. Excited to participate in the community more now that I have something launched!

    Wow, the website/frontend looks amazing! Such a beautiful UI and a wonderful UX! What did you use to build this? Did you build it all yourself?

    1. 2

      I built the website with Hugo using a template, which I really love. The app is bootstrap with some vue.js.

      1. 1

        Very cool!
        I noticed the app sits in app.fantasycongress.com which is considered another domain.. Won't it be better for SEO if the app sits under the same domain as the landing page?

        1. 1

          Yes, I hope to move the public facing parts (list of congress) over to the main domain eventually. But the main app requires login, so no need for seo there.

    Sorry to hear about the plants but congratulations on the launch!

    Shared it with some friends on Facebook as they are very political people.

    So far this is the feedback I got.

    It doesn't say how points are earned. If they lean even a little bit to one side it'll fuck anyone who drafts for the other side. Interesting though.

    1. 1

      Hey Josh, thanks for the feedback. I list how all the points are earned on this page: https://fantasycongress.com/rules/ It's under the "points distribution" section, unless they saw that and that wasn't what they were looking for?

      1. 1

        Not sure. I'll share this with them. Thank you!

    This is an interesting idea, I hope it works out for you. I'm really happy for you, not many people are able to move their idea from conception to launch, so congrats!

      Thanks! So true. I’ve learned so much about execution doing this.

    Fantastic. You should feel really proud of your efforts and find a suitable way to celebrate :-)

    Fantasy Congress looks like a really innovative idea, and I hope it gets a lot of interest.
