Valorant Esports Archive: website for valo clips

#1

Sharkface375

Hello everyone! I have completed a personal project just in time for Shanghai! It is essentially an archive of Valorant esports clips.
https://valorantesportsarchive.vercel.app/

please upvote this to help me out lol: https://www.reddit.com/r/tarik/comments/1cxnnmg/i_made_a_valorant_website_for_you_all/

Firstly I want to thank ValorianPlays for giving me permission use their clips. I was about to edit and find all the clips myself which would've taken months. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to his channel as they made this even remotely possible: ValorianPlay YT. (Event if you don't use this site, his channel is goated)

The inspiration came when I wanted to look for clips from games I wasn't able to watch (China/Pacific mostly). I found it hard to find clips on YouTube without having to watch full highlight videos, streamer reactions, duplicate clips, etc. I only wanted unique raw clips without the extra fluff.
Then I also realized, if I want to rewatch a clip that happened wayyy in the past, there isn't really an easy way to do that besides trying to scavenge through YouTube.
So I built this website as a one-stop-spot to find all the clips you may have missed or want to rewatch! The main features are being able to filter by any event, game, team, or player. I also have a slider of the past 30 games if you quickly want to see clips from recent games (i'm most proud of this design :) ). I'm not very good at frontend-dev, and hate it lol, so it's a very minimalistic website but hopefully gets the job done.

We don't have EVERY single possible clip but plan to add more for Shanghai.

Please let me know what you think! Is this something that you would use? Are there any improvements that can be made? Also let me know if there are any bugs that you found. Im trying my best to make it mobile friendly, but as I said, I suck at frontend-dev lol.
Thanks and hope you enjoy!

I didn't have any plans on vods atm cause i wanted to stay in the niche of clips. (Vods are much easier to find).

But that could definitely be an addition in the future!

Currently, we dont have plans to as it would be time consuming to go back and find clips. I think it will be better if we focus on getting more clips in future events.

imo would be nice if it had a sliding effect on the scroll rather than having the user have to scrub down as if it's a document
like just scroll down once and it smoothly slides to the next clip

oo thats an interesting idea, would def make the feel smoother. Ill see how difficult it would be to implement.

Thanks for 600 visitors! VLR is the top referrer and now the site shows up on Google!

Just wanted to get feedback and a gauge of retention rate. How many of you guys used the site after the matches? Is there anything that you think could be improved?

Thanks again :)
