01Brief

The problem

We wanted one place to keep every game we’d been to or watched, with what we thought of it, who we went with and the ticket stub. It had to be quick enough to use during a live game and sturdy enough to hold years of someone’s memories.

02Process

The build

  1. One list runs all 19 leagues

    Adding a league is mostly one entry in a single list. Its colours, scores, news and labels come from there, so hockey, football, basketball, baseball, soccer, cricket and Formula 1 all work the same way.

  2. Your photos stay yours

    Photos and ticket stubs are private to you. Ratings and reviews are public unless you make a game private. Who can see what is set in the database itself, so one mistake in the app isn’t enough to show your photos to someone else.

  3. League news without the wait

    News for every league is collected ahead of time and refreshed on a schedule, so opening the app never means waiting on a news site.

  4. The same app on the web and on Android

    One codebase runs the web app and the Android app. Notifications, app icons and links into the app are set up for each one, and a membership works on both.
