Things I like: Fixtured (a Sports calendar app)

The Problem

As a sports fan following different teams/leagues/sports, keeping track of “what game is on today?” or “I have some free time on Sunday, is there anything good on?” has been a STRUGGLE these past few years.

Usually, there are existing apps you can use, mostly for ⚽️. Or Sports Media apps (like L’Equipe here in France, or The Athletic, or ESPN) etc.

But these aren’t great for the purpose of knowing - What is on? - and When?

“When is there an exciting game around which I can plan to meet my friends, at home or in a bar?"

“How can I schedule my weekend in a way that I get to watch my team(s) while being mindful of family time and running errands?"

These are problems I’m continually experiencing.

To counter this, I’ve been using different websites that publish an RSS feed that you can subscribe to in a calendar app.

But as a self-described sports junkie, I ended up polluting my calendar with games, which made viewing my actual events pretty difficult.

The Solution

Fast-forward to October last year, when I discovered a service called Fixtured.

I can’t quite remember how it got put on to my radar, but Fixtured has totally changed this for me, and now I have one single place where I can see at a glance what’s coming up.

Today, it’s essentially a web-based calendar app, where you can choose which teams & leagues you follow across many different sports. It’s super easy to use in a “set it up once” type of way. I really like the design, and for someone like me, it is the PERFECT tool and usecase.

On top of that, the team behind Fixtured has been super responsive, keen to hear my feedback, and fast to implement new features/leagues/teams. They’re quite small (3 people) and works fast. In the past, they reached out by email and later via DMs to let me know about upcoming things. It’s been really cool to discover more about their work!

And I started sharing it with my friends in similar situations — my good friend Jeffry sent me this message today: “Fixtured has already changed my life. Thank you forever”

I’m just a fan of what they’re building and want them to succeed. So for any sports fan like me, check out Fixtured! 👋🎤

Attended my very first Baltimore Orioles game

5/29/24

What a game to attend!

It all started when local friends of ours let us know they could get us good tickets. We went together, only to realize we were sitting 2 rows above the Baltimore Orioles' clubhouse (🤯). Despite the risk of rain, we arrived early, were able to snuck in the (folded) stroller, and sat in our seats.

It was incredible to see the level of talent and athleticism in person, live in the stadium. The speed at which the pitchers throw the ball is incomprehensible, especially taking into account the distance and precision they need to reach the zone. And the ability of a batter to analyze a pitch and try to hit the ball is a real feat.

But the highlight came when our star Gunnar Henderson absolutely blew the roof off Camden Yards with that second-inning grand slam, turning a 1–1 nail-biter into a 5–1 Orioles party and you could feel the sweep-avoiding energy flip instantly. And the fact that slam was Gunnar’s 50th career homer just made it feel like one of those “we’re watching a superstar era” nights for O’s fans.

Grateful to have seen and witnessed it, along with seeing our ace Corbin Burnes shoving for seven sharp innings. It felt like Boston never really had a way back into the game.

Sorare has low-key developed a really good game with “Rivals”

Good gameplay, free to play, dynamic and honestly makes me want to play and keep up much more than other games (UEFA Champions League gaming or Fantasy Premier League)
