The day spotify wrapped dropped, I found out accidentally that they had used Rive as their team was happy to share this on X.

At the same time I was going through it trying to implement a handful of Rive animations in our app built with React Native, with not so stellar results and a taste in my mouth so bad that it inspired me to write about it.

Mostly to discourage other small teams(with a solo dev like us) saving their roadmaps in process and to share how I intend to tackle animations in the future.

The endgame is to become the ultimate source of truth regarding the quality of a sports game.

Dreaming big with hopes of becoming a household name similar to imdb or letterboxd.

Looking at your site I think you would like to hear that when rating games you can mark a game as 'attended', 'watched' or other categories to show others how you experienced the game or just for your own personal log.

Other than that we are light on classic sports stats and our stats are more focused on the user ratings of the games rather than the game stats.

Since last year i've been working on something that surprisingly didn't exist before, an app where you can rate sports games.

https://rategame.io/ and on the app stores(I really recommend the app if you want to check it out, especially on a phone)

We've expanded on the concept with rating stadiums, creating lists, voting for player of the game and more as we are trying to become the letterboxd for sports.

We have been using Meilisearch with firebase for years and it has always worked great. I just wish they would update the extension on the firebase extensions hub[1] because the current version available uses node 14 which is not supported by cloud functions on GCP so the extension is not usable at all. What's weird is that the latest version available on their repo has upgraded the node version but they are not offering it in the extensions hub.

I'm from Skopje myself and I see this building often as I bike to work or go anywhere near the center.

As you get closer to it, the post office stands out and the tower is the one thing that always catches my attention in a sea of blandness (not to complain as these old apartment blocks are nice to live in, I live in one myself).

The windows become orange and it feels like a villain is plotting his world domination somewhere up there. The type of villain whose plans never succeed and his tower is beginning to crumble.

I am currently working on an app with React Native that helps users play along to songs and one of the features needed was displaying the various scales/modes on the fretboard so I basically built a mini library of my own to construct the note arrays.

This will be a great example to see how the library has handled the same problem.
