Mixed martial arts fan site - CombatPicks.com

Combat Picks was built to be a fun tool for MMA fans to make predictions/picks on fights. The site was built by two people (1 design - 1 code) over the course of about a month. I don't have any plans for monetization - we really just built the site as MMA fans to be able to provide a fun service to other people. http://www.combatpicks.com/ We have lots of improvements in the pipeline - i'd love to hear some feedback/ideas on what we can improve.

Mixed martial arts fan site - CombatPicks.com launched on August 5, 2011 with 5 votes, #111 of 248 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 15 years on.

    Have fun betting virtual (not real) money on predictions from HN users2022 · kudotap.com · ▲150

    I wanted to see how difficult it would be to build a web app using a sub-$300 android smartphone. Decided to build a fun predictions website where you could bet virtual (not real) money on predictions made by others, and also make predictions of your own. Building it turned out to be considerably easier and more fun than I anticipated. Primary tools used were: # QuickEdit as the mobile code editor (Note: the free version of the QuickEdit app is riddled with ads, it shows an advert each time you close a tab, but it unfortunately had the best UI of the 3 or so Android code editors I tested.…

    We've built graphics comparison tool2019 · ▲23

    Hi, I wanted to share with You our project (https://comparere.io). We have built a website for comparing graphics and designs. The concept is simple, you have to just drag'n drop two designs you are having trouble to pick from. The idea has emarged when we stumbled across many different facebook groups for graphic designers, where they used to sometimes ask the community for help to decide which design is better. I had similar problem too. Hopefully this tool will help graphic/ux designers build/create projects that will appeal to more audiences. We are looking forward to…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
