👾 Learn to code using football data
imo, everyone can code. But coding is not always easy to pick up. This isn't the learner's fault at all.
I've put together a few tutorials using football data from FBref that I hope will help people get started

I've decided to cancel the paid membership behind SOC.
This doesn't mean that I'm stepping away from the project. It just means I don't feel comfortable asking for recurring financial support when I've been so inconsistent.
Personal lessons I've learned (for those interested).
I will try out that option for the coming months and see how it goes (I'm doing it via @kofi_button at ko-fi.com/sonofacorner)
Also, I'd like to test out the possibility of creating digital products for very specific topics as a personal experiment in the future.
Twitter is weird.

🏴FA Cup | Man City vs. Arsenal | Pass "solars"
This week I decided to attempt @unarsezer 's cool idea of visualizing passes as a solar system instead of the usual passing network.
It was really hard (but fun) 😂
What do you think?
