Ballers HQ

Behind the build

How I built this

Ballers HQ is the app I built so pickup football games actually happen. Here is what went into it, in seven chapters.

Campus football

Know who's actually coming.

Someone posts “ball at 4” in the group chat. A few people react, nobody commits, and by 4:15 the game is dead, even when ten people wanted to play. On Ballers HQ you pledge to play if enough people do. When the count hits the number, every pledge becomes a yes and the whole squad hears the match is on.
