• Sportsara - A freemium, simple health & performance metrics tracker for match scores, calories-burned-per-point estimates, player profiles, and leaderboards for badminton doubles players, groups, coaches and organizers
  • Problems Sportsara solves for doubles badminton pairs:
    • Weekly personal games played disappear forever (no recording data, no analytics for improving)
    • Nobody knows how good doubles pairs truly are together
    • Orgs have no easily accessible history of games
    • Badminton improvement is invisible (without data, improvement feels random)
    • Evenly matched pairings & games is not easy to determine for organizers
• Brief How Sportsara Works:
  • For every badminton match point recorded:
    • An estimated 1 calorie burned per point played will be tallied for each player
    • [Optional] A modified ELO rating will be adjusted for the playing pair
  • The aim is a standard progress and accountability app for a badmiton playing exercise pair
  • Inspo: ELO Rating System for Chess and Beyond
• 📣 For any bugs, usability issues, feature requests or any app product feedback, contact me here: bryan@sportsara.com I read and reply to my own email. I'd love to hear from you.

• "ART when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing. When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for a better understanding. For those who are not artists, who are trying to close the book, he opens it, and shows there are still more pages possible.", The Art Spirit, Robert Henri, Painter, on Creativity Through the Eyes of an Art Student, passages delivered by Jack Dorsey
