A fun, #Django rebuild blog post from @bam_boogie from his own perspective of revisiting his passion project ShotGeek. I think a lot of builders will resonate with the emotions in it.

I don't think it was intentional, but I feel like the new logo is an optical illusion which works perfectly. We think we can compare players across eras equally, but in reality, it's all subjective and up for debate!
