Help requested: Following the HWC

Hi all.
I am following the Horde World Championship, and find it pretty hard to get through the various games.

So, my idea is to set up a website that will arrenge all of the matches, upcoming past and current, in a nice watchable list. What I need for this:
- A script that goes over the HWC thread and extracts match dates (working on it)
- A DB for storing all of that data (I think Google or Amazon can provide this within their free tier, will look into it)
- A website for displaying all of the matches in a nice list (need help with that, if someone have the required Web development skills I will welcome it very much)
- A hosting + domain - I am creating a subdomain for that so it is considered done.

Can anyone help me mainly with the website task? Will love to set it up ASAP, any help appreciated.
Update: I have completed the website, you can visit it now at hwc.hordechessblog.com/.
You can browse past games and see expected dates for future games. I found it very useful for going through all of the games and spot interesting positions.

Note: The games are updates semi-manually, which means there will be some delay in displaying new games.

Hope you guys enjoy it, will appreciate any feedback.
That looks amazing! Nice job.

I like the hwc highlights blog post as well, looking forward to seeing more :)

Please note the mistake.

If the order is
iblunderAlot124 vs chesschamp2300
Took place on 2020-09-19 15:10:00, result 6 - 1

Then the result must be 1 - 6 and not 6 -1.
(follow the sequence of the player's name mentioned.)

Thank you.
@sridhar75 Thank you for the correction.
The data is taken from the tournament spreadsheet. I checked it now, and it says:

iblunderAlot124 vs chesschamp2300 on September 19th at 15:10 UTC 6 - 1

And in the tournument's thread: lichess.org/forum/team-horde-world-championship/hwc-2020-pairings-and-results?page=4#35
"my opponent forfeited, school is more important and needs to study
Match Score: 1-1 forfeited therefore (6-1 in my favor)

first game:"
So 6 points to iblunderAlot124, 1 to chesschamp2300, the result 6 - 1 seems to be correct. Where is the mistake?
@rubdub

Mind blowing.
I thought otherwise.

Looked at the only first game and thought
iblunderAlot124 lost 6 games. But it's not so.

Thank you for your very patient reply.
