@rrhoover Thanks! Absolutely agree! In fact, it's the #1 most requested feature (that have been repeatedly put off since the old google sheet couldn't handle it), so you can expect this feature really soon in the next week or so 😊
@rrhoover Just a heads up that Slack integration is now available in PongUp! Thanks for suggesting it product hunters!
Oh yes! 🏓 @dennisong: you have a new place in our basement table tennis hangout. Currently, @viveknb is at 193 wins to my 398 wins over ~10 years. We track it on a whiteboard!
@kunalslab @viveknb haha that's good to hear ! But tracking 500 matches over 10 years, wow! that's some serious persistence to keep it going for so long !
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!)
@dennisong Nice use of Laravel Spark! Great site and awesome service, I'm trying to convince my boss to pay for this!
@msurguy thanks for the kind words! Yup I agree Laravel Spark fits perfectly for this use case and saved me heaps of Dev time. Hopefully the ph discount (code: phunt) will make it easier for you to convince the boss 😉
LOVE this @dennisong Would love to see a national/ local leaderboard on Pinguin. http://bit.ly/phpinguin
@mrsimonbennett hahaha, or maybe this instead https://www.producthunt.com/post..., everything is virtual nowadays 😂
@natebenson That's great! Would love to know what you think once you've got a chance to try it out
This is awesome. If I could chromecast it to the TV next to the ping pong table it would be 💯!
@pbmarcano actually, you can already do this now (from chrome browsers at least). With the page open just go to 'settings -> cast' and that should work!
