I have been working on this pretty heavily over the past week and a half and wanted to share my progress.

This is a random game from last year just so I had some real data to work this. This is the game, in case you wanted to compare and make sure everything is correct.
It should be ready to go for the preseason. Let me know if you have any other suggestions of what could be added!
The next thing I want to add is a daily thread with links to all the GDTs. It would get pinned each day so everyone can easily find the thread for their favorite team. But I haven't started on that yet.
The trick was that I couldn’t use emojis, which was really dumb. When using emoji’s there is some special CSS being applied, and there was nothing I could do to size them properly. I (painstakingly) uploaded each image into a comment box on lemmy.ca, then copied and pasted the URL it gave me into my python code. 🥲
oh yikes, that sounds rough! the end result seems to be worth it though, haha.
