• ✅ Topics v2 pipeline with improved recency rules, season-aware topic generation, and enriched data points linking to charts. [tweet]

5. Selectable themes for major teams

Backlog

• NFL Draft dashboard like https://www.nfl.com/iq but with a focus on web perf and custom, linkable queries, a custom query language with configurable visualizations would be nice
• Pitcher report cards
• Web app should have a streamlined: 1) pick a team, 2) how are they doing this season, 3) how did they do last night, 4) who are they playing tonight, 5) how do they look for the future?
• Admin portal to view, rerun, disable/enable R scripts
• Better info content with links and resources on sports analytics
• Area to provide direct feedback, bug reports, feature requests
• A way of automatically disabling league scripts in the off season
• Countdowns until next big event (countdown until opening day, countdown to the Super Bowl, etc.)
• Smoother animations for syncing/loading charts
• Use ML to use stats and matchup comparisons as features, and use game excitement index as a tag/indicator, and try to predict based on stats what game will be most exciting
• Multi chart image sharing editor/creator: Select three charts, filters, a headline, a subheading, and fastbreak create a shareable image
• Pin players. Would be useful for baseball to track players in a similar way we look at matchups.
