Show HN: GosuWay - A social hub for eSports fans, players, and casters

2 points by d0m ↗ HN
Here's a project I've started as a company, but now became a side project for various reasons. It's a social network for gamers, particularly starcraft gamers. It's based on the Twitter model (it makes more sense for gamers to follow a professional gamer rather than be friend with him).

The difference with twitter is mainly that you can customize your profile as a gamer, post files (starcraft replays get automatically parsed and shown as replay files with the players name, etc.), and that you can also comments on posts.

In the mid term, I'd like to include support for teams (where you can chat only with your teammates and have a profile page) and also include a way for pro-gamers (professional gamers) to sell replays and lessons. Additionally, I'd like to make it more "real-time chat".

Any comments or suggestions?

Also, for any sc2 fans out there interested in working on it, I'd love to hear from you :) (It's written in django.)
