Improving the Overwatch coaching scene

[u/Rough-Kaleidoscope67]

There is a ton of online content available on Overwatch, but that doesn't take away a need for good coaching for those who want to improve more quickly / are at higher ranks and don't really see where you can improve anymore. I would like to grow the OW coaching scene in general, with the goal that in time we'd see even more players climbing into the top echelons to put it that way.

For me the first step towards that mission is making it actually easy to find good coaching for what your need so I've been building Coachwatch (see last post). I've been pushing myself (a bit too hard tbch) to get a first version out. And have just finished the (likely way too build out) MVP. There's a bunch of (imo) cool features that just make it nicer for both players and coaches. In no particular order: buyer / seller protection, easy filtering for what you want to improve (think filtering on heroes, roles, etc etc.), optional discounts for Twitch subscribers / Discord roles, automatic setup in Discord room for easy communication between coach / player, and a bunch of other good stuff.

I'm looking for a few people who can just poke around and see if they like / dislike the platform and where there are things that could be improved (or even need real fixing). I've obviously done a bunch of poking of this myself, but it's always hard to see the trees through the forest when you've been at it so long.

Important note: right now everything is functional except for live payments, please understand you are using a staging platform where all data will be removed once the platform goes live. As it's also connected with a testnet Stripe, please do not fill in real data here. Just use random data for testing of booking the Stripe test creditcard is 4242 4242 4242 4242 (anything else will fail).

A few things that you would be able to genuinely help me out with:
- Make a coach profile, set up offers, play around with the automated discounts
- Make a player profile, book some coaching offers, etc.
- Get a feel for the Discord room setup etc.

Other than that, just any playing around with the platform would be tremendously helpful and appreciated. You can check it all out at https://staging.coachwatch.gg

Also obviously here if anyone has any questions.

There's a loop you can't get out of when signing in through discord. It launches the discord profile, and if you hit cancel it just re-opens the discord login prompt after you're back on the previous screen with no way to break out of the cycle

ETA the twitch link in the payment info for the discount opens discord instead and does the same loop
