It was very interesting to see and wait for own profile and belt to be verified, but what now?

It's not much fun to go verify some friends and trusted promotion histories. Is this "game over?"

This site has a lot of potential to evolve beyond just a record book. Give it a bit, it's in very early beta and took off a bit quicker than planned.

Let’s see. What makes billions of users come back to Facebook and Instagram every day. All there is to it is a few likes back and forth.

There are many interesting initiatives in the pipeline for this site. Give it a bit more than a week in beta ;)

Christian is executing a secret plan to get everyone's data,

change the site to a monetized model once enough people join to become fabulously wealthy,

and is secretly a member of both Anonymous, and the Illuminati.

I like the idea, maybe make this something like linkedIn or even facebook for bjj practitioners in general?

Small steps, we've only been live for 5 days :)
Yes, it's very impressive for the time passed. I really wonder how it will look in couple of months :)

It really does feel like LinkedIn for BJJ at this point. Maybe we'll get a feature to endorse specific skills. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before folks start messaging to ask if we'd like to host them for seminars.

The more people support the site, the more I’m motivated to keep building on it. So far been non stop coding for 3 months, and I’m happy to keep going :)

Hannu, your next task in the game is to earn a purple belt from your coach and get that verified here ;)

Tatu, I already bought a BJJ Globetrotter purple belt. It's just waiting ... maybe spring camp - maybe later. Good is that I have enough points (460) for a purple belt :-)

Have to let you know that I bought the belt several years a go as a motivation tool. Idea was that it would remind me of the goal to get the next belt. Well, that did not work. (But I still have the belt...)

It’s only a matter of time before someone endorses that my takedowns are terrible

Just a belt? Pfft. I have several kimonos in storage that I’ve bought because they have a color scheme that will look sweet with a brown belt.

(That’s also a motivation to stay A2 sized for the next few years, hah! Not expecting to get promoted any time soon.)
