Inspiration

Fantasy sports have quickly evolved into one of America's favorite pastimes, and as fans of fantasy sports, soccer, and some healthy trash-talking alike, we thought it would be cool to improve upon the existing games out there.

What it does

It allows people to effortlessly find opponents to play against in order to prove their knowledge and passion for the game in a measurable way as well as gaining excitement with the involvement of money.

How we built it

We built it as a web application using Django and Python.

Challenges we ran into

Data gathering was the most challenging part, as well as some decisions regarding the business logic and trade-offs we had to make along the way.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We think that we managed to deliver a promising MVP in a short amount of time that also looks pretty good considering neither of us has much experience with or love for design.

What we learned

We learning a whole lot about Django and the MVC framework, as well as about web scraping.

What's next for Panenka

We're looking to continue developing and improving our MVP and are looking to launch officially in the next coming months. A mobile version for Android and iOS is also in the horizon.
