The full story
Courtside GM is a free browser game of blind-auction NBA drafting: with $25 to bid on players as they come up, you build a five-man roster and play a seven-game series against the computer or friends, with a daily draft and a weekly challenge.
It was built almost entirely with Claude Code over a few weeks on Next.js, Supabase, Vercel and Tailwind. In half a week it had about 300 visitors and 33 sign-ups, mostly from Reddit; the maker has since added streaks, missions and a tournament to bring players back.
