statstrac (beta)

statstrac is an open source NFL statistics platform that provides detailed data visualization of rankings, scores, games, trends, teams, and players. I originally started exploring this project mid year when I was thinking about joining a fantasy football league and realized that I knew almost nothing about the statistics side of the game.

statstrac utilizes existing open source projects to retrieve and store raw data (the hard part), and then manipulates it to create a visual web experience. Data is cached at specific intervals to reduce server load as the overall size of the set is massive. You can read more about how it works on GitHub. (or better - fork it and contribute!)

Before starting this project I wasn't really a dataset guy but now that I see all the flexibility and opportunity they can hold I totally am. statstrac is no where close to being finished - bugs do exist and there's just still so much to do!
