Hey everyone! I'd love to share my latest hobby project: Dota Player Rating 🚀
What is it? A Progressive Web App that lets Dota 2 players rate and discover amazing teammates while fighting toxicity through community-based reviews. But here's the exciting part - it's fully integrated with the Fediverse! 🐘
🌐 Fediverse Features (The Cool Part!) Our automated Mastodon Community Bot brings the gaming community directly into the Fediverse: 📊 Daily Updates (8:00 PM) - Community stats, top players, positive gaming highlights 🌟 Weekly MVP Posts (Sundays) - Celebrating the week's best teammates and reviews 🎉 Milestone Celebrations - Automatic posts when we hit 100, 500, 1000+ reviews 🤝 Community Building - Real engagement in the decentralized social web
🛠️ Built for Learning I'm just a hobbyist, not a professional developer - this is purely a learning project! I chose: GitHub Pages for free hosting and learning deployment Firebase to understand modern backend services Vanilla JavaScript to really understand the fundamentals PWA technology because I wanted to learn about offline-first apps
⭐ Core Features Multi-category player ratings (teamwork, communication, skill, behavior) Steam ID integration via OpenDota API Real-time analytics and community stats Progressive Web App (installable on mobile!) Admin panel for community moderation
🎯 Mission Help create positive gaming experiences by highlighting great players and reducing toxic behavior through transparency and community accountability.
🌍 Open Source & Community-Driven Everything is completely open source and built with the community in mind. The Fediverse integration ensures we're not locked into any single platform - we're part of the decentralized web! Try it out: https://hendkai.github.io/dota-player-rating/ Would love feedback from fellow developers and gamers! How do you think we could improve Fediverse integration in gaming communities?

Very cool!! I imagine this might be useful for other games too.

The rating system is based on steam profiles so there is currently no real limit to dota. The idea was from dota.

Exciting! I don't play DotA, but this sounds like an interesting idea. You might get a good response from the people on Steam. Just post it in the dota 2 discussions. I assume that's where the majority of them are?

Also, very good idea. Done!

Doesn't that game already have a "behavior score"?

I really like this idea, I can't believe you just threw this together, awesome work and thank you for sharing, I hope it gets some traction

Dont get why you say I'm just a hobbyist, then every other time say we as if a team worked on it?

Nosism is well established in the English language; I can't even see what you're talking about in the OP; but had I seen 'we' in place of 'I' or 'Me', I would have taken it to mean the context is the application, rather than the developer.
Also, a team can be one person.

Also other people are able to help on github.
