Hey everyone! Iโd love to share my latest hobby project: Dota Player Rating ๐
What is it? A Progressive Web App that lets Dota 2 players rate and discover amazing teammates while fighting toxicity through community-based reviews. But hereโs the exciting part - itโs fully integrated with the Fediverse! ๐
๐ Fediverse Features (The Cool Part!) Our automated Mastodon Community Bot brings the gaming community directly into the Fediverse: ๐ Daily Updates (8:00 PM) - Community stats, top players, positive gaming highlights ๐ Weekly MVP Posts (Sundays) - Celebrating the weekโs best teammates and reviews ๐ Milestone Celebrations - Automatic posts when we hit 100, 500, 1000+ reviews ๐ค Community Building - Real engagement in the decentralized social web
๐ ๏ธ Built for Learning Iโm just a hobbyist, not a professional developer - this is purely a learning project! I chose: GitHub Pages for free hosting and learning deployment Firebase to understand modern backend services Vanilla JavaScript to really understand the fundamentals PWA technology because I wanted to learn about offline-first apps
โญ Core Features Multi-category player ratings (teamwork, communication, skill, behavior) Steam ID integration via OpenDota API Real-time analytics and community stats Progressive Web App (installable on mobile!) Admin panel for community moderation
๐ฏ Mission Help create positive gaming experiences by highlighting great players and reducing toxic behavior through transparency and community accountability.
๐ Open Source & Community-Driven Everything is completely open source and built with the community in mind. The Fediverse integration ensures weโre not locked into any single platform - weโre part of the decentralized web! Try it out: https://hendkai.github.io/dota-player-rating/ Would love feedback from fellow developers and gamers! How do you think we could improve Fediverse integration in gaming communities?
I thought this also but had no idea how to connect my website usefull to other platform because there is not so much for gaming.
I think it could really take off, as lots of people make servers for multiplayer games. Being able to have your own stats website for a specific community or online tourney would be cool. Maybe you could even expand it beyond Dota 2?
Ah got it now. Puh i think thats to much for me maybe its easier to start a modification for a plattform like friendica but as a steam alternative or something where people can collect their game stats for each game. I really like that idea.
Well don't let me overcomplicate it, but make sure you have a system for keeping track of potential projects! I use Org Mode and Orgzly Revived but I can't recommend it.
But anyways just saying to make sure that whatever you add to a project fits your needs and workflow! I've had enough trouble running a few simple websites.
