Good morning all.

I hope the admins wont mind me sharing a site I made for the South African gaming community.
Its at https://zagaming.co.za/
If this is not allowed please remove.

I'm looking for ideas of what people would like to see on the site,
right now I'm showing the twitch streamer with the most viewers,
which ZA gaming servers are online and what their pop is,
Gaming news stream from various sources,
Free games on steam updated daily,
Steam deals this week,
upcoming releases,
and upcoming specials.

I've seen some people looking for a place where people can post LAN's I dont know if people LAN anymore but I could look at adding that to the site as well.
I’m really hoping this can become something useful for us, but I know I can’t build it in a vacuum.

What’s missing? What would make you actually bookmark a site like this? I’m just one guy trying to give something back to the community I love, so any ideas or feedback would mean the world to me.

If this kind of post isn't allowed, I completely understand if the admins need to pull it.

Thanks for taking a look.

I took ideas of what I would have liked to see in a single place and built from there.
Hope you all have a great rest of your Wednesday.

Thanks guys, ive adjusted the font size a little. Should be better now.
 
Feels like a cyberpunk fever dream :unsure: I am struggling to make out what the actual use would be for this

Not meaning to critisize unfairly, just not sure what i would use it for as an SA gamer
 
If it seems like i made something no one wanted thats cool too, I had fun making it. :)
 
Have to agree with the others, text is tiny and the entire page is very difficult to parse - I don't really know what's going on.

I think half of your problem is the way it is presented, It feels very in your face with no clear boundries to anything, Things could be a bit more defined and contained in seperate sections, rather thanjust being there for the sake of being there

This. My eyes honestly don't know where to focus. Something which may help is some colour-consistency. At the moment, every heading is a different colour, so instead of grabbing attention, they're losing attention.
 
"SA Stream (TWITCH #SOUTHAFRICA Streamers)" needs to be slightly taller - regardless of browser, it has a vertical scroll bar for the last half-line of text.

Yup. Even just some section headings would help.

Don't give up on it, needs bigger fonts, especially the 'Live stats' and 'quick links', 'Steam deals' is a nice touch, but would be better if you added other platforms in their own sections, possible a separate page. etc. keep at it.
 
There is good info there and I like the idea of this being a dashboard, but my eyes are not having a good time. There is a lot going on! Enjoy the project :)
 
This is very difficult to read - font size and the grey colour.
Some links also not working
