Hey all!
My first ever native mobile app! Competing has always been close to my heart. I competed a decent amount in martial arts and one thing I noticed is that, the industry does not utilize the mobile technology enough. At least in the management area. So I tried to make a web app specifically for it. Unfortunately there wasn't any interest for it.
A few things I noticed why:
- If they rely on a web app and lose internet connection then they're screwed.
- Tournament managers want native mobile application that has online capability
- I can't get anyone to try out my web app for their own tournaments
Solution:
- Make a native app that can perform offline
- Make the app applicable not just for martial arts. Make it usable by other sports (casual darts / billiard games)
About the app (Where it is right now):
- Creates a single elimination bracket
- Manages all the participants added in all brackets made
- Pure offline except when registering the user on first use.
- Auto seeds registered participants
- Limited to 4 brackets and max 8 participants per bracket
Todo:
- Get the first version stable
- See if there's any need for multiple bracketing types
- Follow it up with online capabilities by utilizing web app api
- Double Elimination brackets
Current issues:
- Once you upgrade to the next version it would clear the cache automatically to prevent issues that will make the app crash. This is more for database changes that happen often and fast. I don't know how to deal with it atm.
- The bracket view is slow. I'm not sure how to make it fast.
- The UI of the bracket , I'm not sure how to make it look like you need to tap the match area in order to view the match results/details
