Pari-magique

Rails website for users to predict the result of soccer games.

Background

In 2008, I had an idea to create a website to bet with my friends on soccer games during major competitions (Euro and World Cup). I was using static html pages. Users were sending me their guesses by email and I modified the html pages manually. It was a lot of work. In 2012, more friends joined and I didn't want to do everything manually so I created a more dynamic PHP website (using Yii framework) where people could log in and enter their guesses. In 2017, I decided to switch to Rails because it is my favorite Web framework and I decided to use Github and Heroku.

Deployment
