Track and collect pint glass M numbers from across the UK

Ever noticed the 'M' numbers on pint glasses? They show the year it was made. Once we found this out, me and my friends would 'collect' these glasses by sending photos of finds to our group chat, until we had the idea to build an app to do it. GlassHunter turns spotting rare glasses into a social game - challenge friends, collect finds, race to spot the first M26 of 2026. It's Pokémon GO for pub enthusiasts. 🍺
Hi all!
I am Dan Curtis and I am a Software Development Manager based in Birmingham in the UK. I am sharing a product that I have been working on over the past month or so, mostly over the Christmas break. I built a full-stack web app called Glass Hunter.
It spawned from a silly game me and my friends play when we're out at the pub. We send each other photos to the group chat of the 'M' numbers on pint glasses (which is the year the glass was made) along with the location code of where they're made. We always see who can find the first M number of the year (M26's will be coming soon!) as well as other challenges.
We've been sending these photos over WhatsApp for years, and we chatted about how it would be great to have an app where we can log all the ones we've found.
The app combines three things us humans love to do: go to the pub, collect useless things, and challenge each other for pride.
Really looking forward for people trying it out, using it and sharing their challenges with friends! This is the first release and I will look to build on the challenges, achievements and social aspects as we move forward.
See you at the pub! 🍻
