sendou.ink update - September 9th 2026 Highlights include setting who sees your availability (team by team & friends), speed & security related improvements and split joy-con in the sens the widget. #sendouink

sendou.ink update - September 9th 2026

Choose who can see your availability
- A new "Visibility" button next to "My availability" picks the friends and teams you share it with
- Anyone you leave out sees you as not having filled in the week, wherever schedules show up
- If you narrow it down, teams you join later are not shared with until you add them

Search and filters are no longer hidden when you are logged out
- Both are shown, and using one prompts you to log in
- Clearing a filter someone shared with you in a link works without an account
- On a user's results page you can turn off the highlights only filter without logging in

Tournament teams API now includes each team's set wins, map wins and placement

Faster page loads across the site (db optimization)

Split Joy-Con (Switch 1 & 2) can now be picked as your controller in the sens widget

Weapon pool widget: choose the weapons to show (up to 7), or leave it empty to keep showing your match profile pool

Navigation menus and page tabs now start loading the next page as soon as you hover them, so moving around the site feels faster

Fixes
- Friends looking for a pickup team in a tournament with open registration show up as such in the sidebar again
- Fixed tier names having different widths in the exported tier list image
- Dropdown lists (for example the weapon and stage filters on the VODs page) can be scrolled on iPhone again instead of scrolling the page and closing the filter
- The page no longer jumps to the top when an action shows a success or error message

Thinking about this idea to use the CV stuff to work as a "auto-coach" for you. For stuff like... - how many times dying with no kills in row - staggering vs. teammates - kill (streaks) without impact - specific. e.g. "first cooler vs. others on this map" + replay clips off key moments from games

Big one today - New user page for all (colors, markdown etc. still supporter)! - Five new user page widgets (countdown, markdown side etc.) - Rebuilt. snappier and more consistent UI components - Team schedule page heatmap And so much more... read the notes for the full story. #sendouink

sendou.ink update - August 30, 2026 This availability tool has been in my plans for a long time, really excited to finally get it out. It's inspired by my own experiences running teams and the difficulty with scheduling to get consistent practice. Give it a go with your Riptide team! #sendouink

SendouQ Season 12 is now concluded! Thanks everyone who participated. Don't forget to generate and save your season summary card as it won't be available to generate (unless you're a supporter :D) after Season 13 starts. Look forward to Season Finale next Saturday! Going to be hype. #sendouink

Last weekend of Season 12! Try out the new patch and play the last sets of the season. Qualify for Plus Server and Season Finale. Make your season end report look nicer 👀 #sendouink

Can we all just agree the game is at its finest when Range Blaster™️ is at the top of the food chain

Serverside performance work looking good! Even with Low Ink running the response times look stable. Work was done on the tournament to split the data to multiple chunks by bracket/group particularly benefitting larger tournaments. Also revalidation logic, now doing smarter work = less #sendouink

Update: 1) Improved xsearch/leaderboards selection UI 2) Quick select scrim recent pickup members 3) Don't send push notifications user already saw (e.g. SQ match started) 4) Finale qualifier skipped roster (more accurate leaderboard) 5) Team sq map/mode preferences back 6) Perf work #sendouink

Getting jump scared by my own app sending me notifications because it was broken for so long. Anyway go set them up (settings/preferences tab) if you want push notifications for e.g. tournament check-in started, new badge awarded, scrim request sent etc. etc.

Bild

Notification updates: 1) more reliable push notifications (try enabling them if you haven't!) 2) "read" auto-clears in some cases e.g. if you enter SQ match page -> SQ match ready notification is cleared 3) instant notifications vs. the old max 10min delay 4) smaller related tweaks #sendouink

WIP sneak peek what's been cooking 👀 What kind of features the cv project unlocks? A couple examples: 1) Tournament run graphics incl. comps for teams you played against 2) Timeline that shows the deaths/specials allowing you to digest a loss (e.g. "what went wrong with that retake")? #sendouink

New features! - Filters have a new unified design across scrims/lfg/builds/vods/calendar - Calendar page has tier filter - User results page has now filters - More flexible bracket options that allow e.g. "redemption brackets" & sourcing from SE/DE winners, not just losers #sendouink

Today's update: - Mahi-Mahi (water down) added to map planner, thank you yaga! - SQ matches now auto-close after 24h - Various bug fixes incl. couldn't vote "no" after voting "yes" for SQ rejoin & SQ rechallenge accept not working #sendouink

Today's update: 1) Canceling SQ set now needs players and reason by both groups (requester and accepter). Staff can use this information to take action against those who abuse the cancel functionality 2) Better bracket progression in RR/Swiss->Elim re: avoiding replays +smaller changes #sendouink

Trophies are an upcoming, enhanced version of badges (by @hfcred.dev) - Models are rendered in real time - Uploaded directly on the site (no more GitHub) - Uses PicoCAD 2 and its full feature set - Quality controlled and tightly restricted to only approved tournaments - And more 👀 #sendouink

Bild

Newish feature but now with less bugs: when your friends is in a tournament/SendouQ match and either they are streaming, they are casted or their opponent is streaming you see a LIVE badge next to them and can open the stream right from the sidebar. #sendouink
