I started tracking tournaments and tournament participants on Blind Valet in 2016. Just crossed a big milestone with 3 MILLION participants since I started tracking:

Well they have people posting about it and explaining it on social media for them…so…
Your “before” picture is my “after”

Added a Help Center to blindvalet.com
Interface and all content translated into 45+ languages for my global audience. I add question/answers through my home grown back office web app. That triggers a cloud function to handle the translations with AI.

10 PRINT “Brad is a dork”
20 GOTO 10
My first program ever. Brad is of course my big brother
Wow!
Keep making it a little better every day
Added Hand for Hand feature to the Blind Valet poker tournament clock.
When play goes hand for hand the clock will stop and you can take 2 minutes off clock for every hand played.

Same thing can be said of a lot of startups! 😅

I feel this. Had a customer buy a subscription and due to a glitch their account didn't get upgraded. I responded immediately on a Sunday and fixed their problem. They were blown away, I feel like now I have a much more loyal customer than if there was never a glitch.
Back home after a trip to the USA.
Did a little roadtrip in the south visiting some cardrooms and casinos in Florida then some Blind Valet users in Georgia, and the Carolinas. Learned a lot and it has helped me find some focus for my roadmap.
Closed it out with some family time. Great trip!
Looking good!
Yes, I think "word of mouth" is my biggest source for sure.
Blind Valet stat of the day:
Over 200K tournaments on the platform since I started tracking it in 2016

It happens to all of us. I've been trying to be more accepting of these moments and not try and force it. I'll do something away from the computer (stuff that needs doing in the house, take a walk, etc).
I disagree 😅
Just went back to full-time working on blindvalet.com
Web app for managing live poker tournaments and leagues. Been a passion project of mine since 2007!
On today's Twitch Dev/Support live stream:
- fixed sorting for Template menus
- fixed sorting for merge member menu
- Added new seat locking feature as requested by users. Lock players into their seats at the table so that they won't be moved by automatic table balancing.

Last week for blindvalet.com
Great month of July continues. I would like to think that it is because I started back full-time on the project July 1st, but hard to point to exact reasons why.

I have 4 AI agents that I launch with a CRON job every morning:
- Cardio AI
- Deadlift AI
- Yoga AI
- Meditation AI
When I wake up at 11am, everything is done already! I've never felt better!
Wow! can you share the link to your reddit post?

I still can't pronounce it correctly though. 😅
Very cool!
I went to Wroclaw some years ago on a business trip. Beautiful city and the people there were very kind and welcoming. Good memories. Wy wife and I started collecting magnets from cities we visit and I have one from Wroclaw. Na Zdrowie!
I was seeing it to a couple days ago - not once today though
After a few more tweaks...🏎️💨
