Original Summary

Hi r/SideProject people! I've been working on this side project for a while: https://playerse.net I first started it in 2022-2023ish, but then I over-scoped the project (I planned it as a social media platform, yeah, I know, way too ambitious) and couldn't handle the stress, especially with the earthquakes happening in Turkey at the time. I burned out so fast I couldn't have imagined it. Back then my mentality was "whatever tech Facebook uses," so I picked GraphQL, FaunaDB, and other stuff like that. The site only got worked on for a couple of months. After that I freelanced on and off while I couldn't find a job as a software engineer. Then I said "yolo" and started building random projects, which turned into a SaaS journey, but that didn't work out either, I couldn't find clients. I got kind of depressed and didn't really know what to do. So 6-7 months ago I started again, but this time focusing only on the game tracker part, with a different mindset and a different tech stack. It's completely free, no ads, no money stuff, just a tool I built while watching myself play TFT, Valorant, League, and other games. (P.S. I actually quit Riot Games and don't play their games anymore, only single-player stuff now. Feeling kind of old at 28 lol.) I haven't finished everything I set out to do, there's still a lot to add and figure out, but at least it's up and working now. You maybe wondering why stat tracker? whats the dif from the others well; short answer i build this project to break my shell, interact with more people, become better engineer while on the journey. I still learned a lot on after working 5.5 years as freelancing working on dif. fields. But this one was diferent than normal project that i worked before, avarage match data that riot sends is 24-55mb maybe some times 100mb. So i never worked with this big as data and managing was a challenge. While on this 6 months journey people was asking is this thing making money and short answer again no, it only burns money with the data that i storing hella fast since im not making money but im doing this only for hobby and kinda like it to work on it. Another side note: (Valorant and League is still waiting the production rate limits so its a another challenge for me to manage. I hope riot will saw my ticket one day and move me to higher limits :l Other than that as i mention before i will keep adding a lot of things) Have a nice day! o7   submitted by   /u/VahitcanT [link]   [comments]
