Hello Stackers!
I've come to share the NFL Pickem game I built and I hope you will enjoy. Sats only!
I have wanted to build this for a long time and every NFL season I never got around to it in time. With all the new AI development tools and helpers with Lightning I finally did it!
If you are old like me, maybe you remember playing something similar with pen and paper with your local commish.
Big sports sites have similar things now but are annoying to sign up for and many are limited to just imaginary points. Gambling platforms take big cuts of the pot if they even have it as they seem to be focused on DFS and regular money lines with a house edge.
BitPickem allows you to create private pools and relive the nostalgia of picks against friends and coworkers. There are also some default featured pools and I have a few picks in to get things started.
To help grow the platform and create bigger pools you can share a referral link with friends and take a cut of the escrow fee (a modest 6.15% of the pot to cover hosting/data/lightning costs)
I've tested as well as I can and the platform is now live. Please check it out, featured pools start with as low as 1k sat entry. (You can create pools down to 500 sat entry)
I will monitor this thread. If you find any issues I will jump right on them. I appreciate feedback in advance.
Looking forward to a great season!
Cool. I will test it out week 1.
Me too

Looks good, should add a "Sign in with Lightning" capability instead of creating an account w/email.

I've read that LNURL-Auth doesn't provide a reliable experience, but maybe Nostr would be cool.
No email is required, it just lets you set a user and password so in case you loose the cookie.

Pretty clean UX. Great work!
ty! If you find anything that could use improvement I'm all ears!
