A personal passion, backed as a real product
One of our engineers is a football fan and a strong full-stack developer. Outside his day-to-day work he wanted to build a platform that put news, statistics and live scores in one place. It was not a sprint item, a backlog entry or a KPI. It was his idea.
In a lot of companies a side project like that is treated as a distraction. We backed it instead — no strings, no hidden expectations. A junior developer joined and learned directly from him, and over time grew into a key contributor on one of our core product teams.
And the project has grown far beyond a side project. Today, it attracts more than 100,000 visits every month and has built a community of 35,000+ followers - a real product with a real audience, born simply from something one of our people genuinely cared about.
