fplhq.com began as a goofy experiment in building data applications with Next.js and PostgreSQL. My friends and I are big fans of the Premier League and so, like ten million others, we play the league's fantasy soccer game. Despite attracting many data-loving nerds, the official game lacks meaningful analysis features. Players can't explore longitudinal data, cross-sections, or comparative team information.

So I built a web app with Next.js and Tremor that let's users track teams, compare performance, and visually analyze time series data, among other neat things. I implemented Supabase auth and set up subscription payments using Stripe's API. The app got paid subscribers and I actively maintained things through the end of the 2024 season. Since I'm too busy working on my startup to manage a paid site, I switched it to free for all users ahead of the upcoming season (though Premier League API changes may break things!).
