Show HN: Fantasy Sports with Supabase, Vercel, and Next.js (playfantasydraw.vercel.app)
1 points by playfantasydraw 648 days ago
Have enjoyed playing fantasy sports for years. This year I have a league going with friends for a $500 prize pool.

It's tough to do a full team with drafts, because it takes so long to monitor injuries, set lineups, etc. So we came up with a new game mode. Just pick one quarterback per week, and if he throws for more yards than his real life counterpart, you advance. Person who advances the farthest without getting eliminated wins the $500. The catch is that each quarterback can only be picked once by each contestant throughout the whole NFL season.

I used Supabase to do the authentication and login/signup process. Supabase is also used for the database. For example when my friends and I login to make our weekly picks, those picks are stored in Supabase. The rest of the project uses Vercel and Next.js. I have read stuff online about people who wake up to unexpectedly high Vercel bills, so I'm hoping that doesn't happen to me (tips on how to avoid this are appreciated).

Right now I'm still coding and getting the site ready for a bigger launch with more contestants than just my friends. Open to feedback, suggestions, collaborations, etc.
