Added Hand for Hand feature to the Blind Valet poker tournament clock.
When play goes hand for hand the clock will stop and you can take 2 minutes off clock for every hand played.

Back home after a trip to the USA.
Did a little roadtrip in the south visiting some cardrooms and casinos in Florida then some Blind Valet users in Georgia, and the Carolinas. Learned a lot and it has helped me find some focus for my roadmap.
Closed it out with some family time. Great trip!

On today's Twitch Dev/Support live stream:
- fixed sorting for Template menus
- fixed sorting for merge member menu
- Added new seat locking feature as requested by users. Lock players into their seats at the table so that they won't be moved by automatic table balancing.

Great month of July continues. I would like to think that it is because I started back full-time on the project July 1st, but hard to point to exact reasons why.

New Blind Valet home page is deployed. I moved the application functionality to the app subdomain and deployed a new GatsbyJS home page.
Performance before and after!

After a rough May/June for Blind Valet subscriptions, nice uptick so far in July!
Summer is usually slow, so it is really nice to see this.

Churn numbers are a bit deceiving as a lot of users only run 1 or 2 tournaments a year, so they will just subscribe for one month at a time. Not sure how to analyze this appropriately.

Working on a little uplift of the Blind Valet landing page. Performance is terrible as it is running on the same codebase as the rest of the app and is pulling text translations from the DB at runtime.
- App => app.blindvalet.com
- Blindvalet.com => fast loading GatsbyJS site.
