What it does
Run a Survivor fantasy league without the busywork: draft castaways, score tribal councils automatically, and compete with your tribe all season.
Currently
Live at survivortribes.com, hosted separately from k8mak.com. You draft castaways, the platform scores tribal councils, and you compete on a leaderboard. Built on a Vite and React front end with a Supabase backend. The current strategic question is whether to lead with leagues or with no-auth solo play, since the real usage data shows most sessions never log in.

How it's built
How I built it
I built SurvivorTribes because I love Survivor and I love a good fantasy league, and the two never quite fit together without a pile of manual scoring. The platform drafts castaways and scores tribal councils for you, so the league runs itself and you can just enjoy the season. The honest tension I am working through is what the data taught me: only about one percent of visitors log in, which means the league feature I designed first serves a tiny core while a much larger anonymous crowd shows up on episode nights and bounces. So the real work now is not building more league depth, it is converting that episode-day spike into play that does not require an account. The live app sits at survivortribes.com on its own Supabase backend, separate from this site.
