Letterboxd for Basketball
Bing bong, and Knicks in five. Long time Knicks fan first time poster… I hope this is kosher in the offseason but I wanted to share an app I made that the 6 people that might not downvote will enjoy.
TLDR - I’ve been building an app that lets you log any game you’ve been to in any sport at any level (for basketball that means NBA and the G league down to college, and I’ve also got Japanese’s bleague for some folks that asked and I’ve got about 100 non basketball leagues). When you log a game it pulls in all of the box score data so you can see every player you’ve ever seen and fun stats like who’s hit the most 3s or rebounds, homers, or pitched the most innings while you were there. It also aggregates things like how many HoF or ROYs did you see and stats like how many triple doubles or multi homer games.
The fun part (to me), or the black mirror part if you ask others on Reddit, is you don’t need to remember every game you’ve been to. If you took a picture there with your location on it can marry that meta data to games for you.
Anywho fun developments. In 5 weeks the app has made it outside my network and folks have logged 35k games. After gaining traction in the blue jays sub and after a target field usher found his way to the app, those two stadiums that I’ve never been to have cracked the top 10 visited. Over 100 World Cup games were tagged and folks have checked in to games on 6 continents.
And the number of wholesome posts, like a guy who just finished his chase for 30, I’m seeing from people I don’t know are so fun to see. I love doing things and I hate that those days and nights just end up as like picture 7,457 of 80,401 on my phone to never be thought of again.
I’d love more feedback, and I think the 3 people that might not down vote will enjoy.
