Hi, I’m Lex Postma from The Netherlands. Rickies.co is my tribute to the Rickies prediction draft episodes of the Connected podcast. I’ve grown up with Relay shows (and their predecessors), they’ve shaped part of who I am. So I wanted to create something cool for Myke, Stephen, and Federico, to thank them for the many hours of fun I have had ‘with them’ over the years.
As a designer I poured my heart into the details of this fun personal project. As an amateur web developer I learned many new skills while holding two hammers (PHP and Airtable) and seeing nails everywhere.
The main features of Rickies.co are:
Other fan efforts have preceded, inspired and/or aided me in creating this site. The ever changing rules on The Bill of Rickies triggered me initially, and inspiration from Zach Knox’ interactive scorecards for the Upgrade Draft completed the concept. The result is Rickies.co, my take for my favourite show.
If you have feedback, notice a bug, or just want to chat, you can always contact me; I’m @lexpostma everywhere. Email and the Relay members Discord are also possible of course. I look forward to hearing from you! 👋
