A bit of backstory: I started this project because I was frustrated with existing prediction sites that either required subscriptions or had cluttered interfaces. I wanted something free, fast, and focused on the data that matters.
The technical journey: - Started with basic Django setup and manual data entry - Built automated data collection to keep information fresh - Implemented Celery tasks to update data throughout the day - Added Redis caching to handle traffic spikes - Designed the UI with Tailwind CSS for a clean, modern look
The biggest challenge was ensuring data accuracy and keeping the site stable with frequent updates. I ended up implementing a robust caching system and error handling to maintain reliability.
Currently, the site covers major European leagues and international competitions. I'm working on expanding coverage and adding more statistical insights.
Happy to answer any questions about the tech stack or implementation details!
