Optimizer suggestions that would be amazing

First off - this is the best most robust optimizer out there, incredible work.

Here's a couple of tweaks I think would really help users out.

1- The ability to save all your settings and current player pool. Every week I spend lots of time on the site, and a huge portion of it is re-clicking my player pool and settings. It seems like everything will stay where I left it for a couple of hours but there's a point where it resets everything. I would love the ability on any given week to create and save multiple players pools and give them names like "gpp over 20 thousand people" or "cash" for example.

Currently the time it takes to get everything set (especially exposure settings which is the best part) makes this incredible tool pretty much useless on Sunday mornings when you need to move fast with injury updates. A saved player pool with the exposures saved would allow users to still move fast and get new optimized line ups which would be awesome.


2- Export into draft kings!!! haha (or other sites) - I'm sure this is in the works, but it can't come fast enough for anyone entering more than 20 line ups into tournaments. The download option is great but currently the names don't match up to the dk names so using a script extension doesn't really help.


If either of these are issues that others have come across and found a solution I would love your suggestions

@trippingbilly - Thanks for the kind words and suggestion.

1. I really like this idea. It's one we haven't thought of. There are a few edge case scenarios that may complicate things (IE - players change week to week), but we're going to brainstorm and see what we can come up with.

2. Yes, have talked extensively about this. It's a big investment of time and I think this will be one of the elements that gets regulated (not sure it can be enforced on a personal scripting level) and affiliates could get it shut down. With that said, it's still on our list and if you know anyone that is good at javascript and building extensions, send them our way.

Thanks for the response.

With the save ability, honestly I don't think it's even that important to have it saved once the games go off. It's really only crucial for each current week. So maybe that wont be an issue?

Ok, will discuss and follow up shortly. Good to know.

@trippingbilly - we updated Colossus so that your settings (locks, exposure, etc.) should remain throughout the week and expire next Monday at midnight. We'll need to test this day after day and would appreciate any feedback should you find issues.
