FLRanked Competitive platform for music producers. Producers compete in timed 20-minute beat-making matches, all starting from the same melody file. The community votes, and an ELO system moves players across 12 rank tiers. Built with Next.js, with Discord integration that syncs ranks automatically. The hard part wasn't the interface. It was designing a ranking system that stays fair when the judges are the players themselves. The platform is live with an active player base.

Good question, it's the part I worried about most.

Two things help structurally. ELO already punishes farming: beating a lower-rated opponent moves you very little, so coordinated wins against weak players aren't worth the effort. And because everyone starts from the same melody,...

A couple of additions that work well for self-judged platforms: give new players a provisional rating with a higher K-factor until they've played ~20 matches, so they climb to their real tier quickly instead of getting stuck low; and keep an eye on vote patterns — if a specific...

The provisional K-factor is the one I should have had from day one. Right now a new player grinds through matches they were always going to win, which is boring for both sides.

Co-vote detection is interesting because it's cheap — I already store who voted on what, so pair...

Cheers! 🤘 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆. We finished developing the promo site for 𝗦𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗴𝘂𝘁𝗮'𝘀 "𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹" intensives. Our task was to carefully translate the mockups into code using a fluid layout, fully preserving the author's vision. Along the way, we helped fine-tune the animations right during the build process. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝘄𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀: • Sequential text reveal via cycling • Interactive field with student cards • Infinite Canvas with a depth effect • Draggable horizontal scroll We had a separate battle with Safari. We had to get tricky with video playback to bypass the browser's strict limitations without breaking anything. We love challenges like this. When strong visuals meet creative development, a website truly comes alive. This isn't our first time working with Sasha, so the process went smoothly and without any fuss. Thanks for the trust.
