Top 8 comps In The Zone 54. It was the last frame of the montage as well but just posting here as well separately. This was actually one of the main use-cases I had in mind for the project. Automated "meta tracking".

Imagine scraping all streams from e.g. In The Zone (which we do already save) then collecting it to some kind of montage that shows highlights across the tournament, sets and cool clips. All of that could be automated with what exists now.

Kill streak automatically recorded by Scanner via live capture from capture card (desktop audio w/ offset) Settings: 4 kills min, 1 min max. Clip cut 5 sec before first kill and ends not a moment too early before I die to the dynamo 😎

Thinking of adding ladder format support for sendou ink. What is good and bad about the implementation on the other sites (think e.g. Speed Ladder or those official tourneys)? I want to not only support it but also the one that is the best fit for this game & community. #sendouink

sendou.ink update - September 20th 2026 Incl. way more flexible team pick map list format enableing completely new tournaments, header indicator that'll e.g. notify you when you have new likes in SQ so can freely browse site while waiting & harder to report wrong SQ score by @hfcred.dev #sendouink
sendou.ink update - September 20th 2026

New header status indicator
- While you are in SendouQ or playing a tournament, the header shows what you have going on: your group filling up, likes received while in queue, ready checks, ongoing matches, scores waiting to be confirmed and bracket check-ins
- It links straight to the right page and updates live as things happen, so you can freely browse the site while waiting

Team picked map lists overhaul
- Choose which modes teams pick maps for, Turf War included, and how many maps for each mode
- Restrict team picks to SendouQ legal maps, all maps or a custom map pool
- Tiebreaker map pool is gone: the deciding map is one both teams picked, or a random map from the pool neither team picked
- Fix the mode order of team picked rounds when starting a bracket, e.g. every round starts with Splat Zones

Tournament brackets page minor cleanup
- The "waiting on match" status strip is gone since the header now shows the same
- The Add sub button moved to your team's page
- The Compactify toggle moved up into the bracket tab row, so the bracket now starts right below the tabs

SendouQ score reporting is harder to get wrong by accident
- The confirm button is now disabled for a few seconds before it can be pressed
- Confirming a set now shows the score and the outcome for your team, and reporting a loss requires a double tap
- Added a "Score is wrong" button which tells the other team in the match chat to undo their report
- When someone else reports a map result while you have the "Action" tab open, the submit button is now disabled for ten seconds so you can't accidentally report the next map

Filtering VODs by a weapon now shows each VOD's full weapon list, with the weapon you filtered by first

Requeue with the same group after a canceled set, without the player both teams named as the cause of the cancellation

Redesigned the tier list maker's tier editing popover & tier names now switch to white text on dark tier colors

Team…

Something so fundamentally fun with auto clips as a feature and it's a marvel what modern web apps can do

Sendou @sendou.ink · 16/09/2026
Feature exploration: clips in scanner (UI obv just placeholder) Basically it reads in your kill streaks and saves a clip automatically off each based on how impressive it is (count, density, specials used/which?) Then you can view them after your stream e.g. and upload. Would you use? #sendouink

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

sendou.ink update - September 7th 2026

Game badge widgets: reorder your selected badges by dragging them

Profile page links (Seasons, Builds, Vods...) now show labels next to their icons

Fixes
- "Add new…" button in the header no longer stretches wider on narrower screens
- LFG posts widget no longer shows posts that have expired

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

sendou.ink update - September 1st 2026 Team event tweaks based on feedback and tournament templates got some love. You can also now drag calendar view on desktop + a couple smaller things. #sendouink
sendou.ink update - September 1st 2026

Team event improvements
- When adding a team event you can now choose whether the whole team takes part or only selected members
- Team events can now be edited
- Team events can only be scheduled within the two weeks shown on the schedule, so a new event can no longer land outside the visible range

Better tournament templates when adding a new tournament
- Tournaments run by your organization or those you were added as staff can now be used as templates, not only the ones you added yourself
- Only the latest event of each tournament series is shown, fitting more different templates in the list

Calendar can now be scrolled by dragging with the mouse

Fixes
- Fixed time and date inputs (the availability editor modal) overlapping their icon on Safari
- Fixed the "No upcoming events" text in the mobile navigation's Events panel not being centered like other panels
- Fixed the tournament teams tab sometimes showing seed numbers out of order

sendou.ink update - August 29th 2026

Chat improvements
- Read indicators saved serverside, so a read on one device shows as read on the others
- Ended chats collapse into an "Inactive" section of the chat sidebar
- Internal technical implementation reworked & simplified with the goal of a more stable experience e.g. with room titles getting out of sync
- Fixed a bug where message might be forever "pending" if chat metadata got expired

Map planner improvements
- Plans are saved and restored when you come back to the page
- Undo & redo are back, now in the toolbar
- Stage, mode, background and water level are kept in the URL so a view can be shared

Calendar day columns now snap into place when scrolling sideways

The footer got a redesign

Image upload fields now tell you the recommended image size (e.g. team banners are 1000x500)

Various performance improvements

Round robin brackets can now be set up with groups of up to 8 teams

Fixes
- Fixed team name (not own) color in the bracket
- Fixed scrim map tracking locking before the scrim had even started
- Fixed the links to follow-up brackets doing nothing on the bracket page
- In-game names input now accepts more characters (kanji and hangul) that were missing
- Long usernames on the suggestions page no longer overlap the "Comment" button
- Fixed streams missing from SendouQ and tournaments when the same Twitch account is linked to several users

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
