Beernerd.app - Week 3 Release Notes
Frank Tumminello
Founder
It's been three weeks of full-time development - and we shipped a f*@!k ton!
🚀 Features Shipped
Monday, October 27th
- Guest information was not being properly handled when recording statistics on
/record/beerdie[gameId]. It was still using our old system of fetching guest info embedded in the UUID. We now store this information in the backend and properly fetch it. - On our tournament view screen
/tournament/beerdie/[gameId], we added a rules dropdown so all users can review the tournament rules. - Added a
nextquery param... This allows users who receive shared links (but aren’t signed in) to be redirected directly to the shared page after authentication.

- Released second blog post and added some infra to making release process repeatable.
- Said goodbye to my pals Victor and Sacco 😔 — had an early flight Wednesday morning back to SF ✈️
Wednesday, October 29th
- Fixed an interesting bug on the
/tournament/beerdie/[gameId]sceen. When first creating your team there is a placeholder card that allows you to continue editing the players on the team. There was a bug where if you continue to edit the team from the teams dropdown the card would reappear. We removed the reappearing card. - When using search in the app the guest dropdown was not integrating the correct color. Added a row in the database to represent which color to use and fetched it from the frontend.
Thursday, October 30th
- On our statistics review page
/stat/overview, we load the activity information via query params. When loading a game with a parent game id (a game attached to a tournament) we needed to populate the parent game in the breadcrumb trail. - Added a view switch when a user is reviewing a tournament on the
/stat/overviewpage. The switch has 3 tabs, information about the tournament, the bracket, and an analysis to review team/player performance across the tournament.
Friday, October 31st 🎃
- Happy Halloween 🕸️👻
- Began development of the information tab and prepped for an awesome party at Liberty 🗽
Saturday, November 1st 😵💫
- What happened?????
Sunday, November 2nd
- Finished the information view on
/stat/overview. This included the view along with delete and edit functionality. - Added a loader for user information that hasn't been loaded yet
- Fixed stale state bug on
/record/beerdie/[gameId]. After recording stats on a game and launching a new one in the same browser session themasterTimelineandstatisticsstate was preserved (unkown cause). Added specific logic to reset state on fetch so that state cannot be preserved. - Completed weekly feature planning
Overall, a productive week for Beernerd. 🎉 This wraps up the final week of tournament work, clearing the way to start building core statting functionality next week. This will make the app more flexible for users customizing their Beerdie games. Once those features are complete, we’ll begin demoing for frats at universities!
