@dennisong · Maker, PongUp!
Hi product hunters 👋,
This is super exciting! After spending the last few weeks polishing up features and squashing bugs, I'm happy to finally be able to share PongUp with all of you!
Here's a brief background on how PongUp got started:
As in most other software companies, table tennis has always been competitive at our workplace. We were challenging each other throughout the day, mainly for bragging rights 😉. Around a year ago, we decided to step it up and start tracking scores to determine who's better. So we started with a simple google form that pipes results to a google sheet, eventually tweaked to the sheet to calculate points and rank, and at some point even added a pretty frontend leaderboard app (that still runs on Google sheets on the backend).
Seeing the board up people started having a lot of cool feature suggestions, "Can we get desktop notifications", "can we publicly challenge a mate" - which will be quite hard to hack onto the current google sheet. Hence, 722 matches later, I'd decided to build a proper app from scratch that we can easily expand upon with new features; A ping pong leaderboard that can be used by any teams/offices around the world, because of course, "Ping pong is serious business! 😁"
Can't wait to hear what you think, and if you have any questions at all please let me know!
(Thanks for the hunt, @mijustin!)
