Hello fellow crafters. I would like to create an dorodango app to guide the process, journal your builds to check what went wrong and learn from your mistakes. I would love to see if anyone would be down to using it. If so what features would you like to see in this app?
Hey, an enthusiast here and I want to know what is your biggest problem guys? How would you want to improve in this hobby?
Local poker room, freezout, 4 left, all ITM. We have my nemesis player sitting there with a huge stack and rest of us have more or less the same stack. We have this unspoken rivalry with this guy and we like to get under each others skins as we played many tricky hands against each other in different events during these last months and I have to admit he was on the lucky side most of the time. But this time, man o man, suck out after suck out in a most brutal ways imaginable. 2 of these hands happened when 3 left so I had to shove Ax and suited Q but everytime he woke up with a dominating hand only to give me the chips by the time we arrive to the river.
And result? I take down the 1st place!
And story doesn't end here because before this session we were playing even bigger field tournament and it was 1.2K up top. 14 left, 9 ITM. This guy again with huge stack sits on my direct left and doesn't let me breathe as he raises me IP and I am forced to fold most of my oppening hands in order not to risk it before FT. So I calm down and tighten up a lot. Eventually we are in FT, 6 left, I am in the BTN with second in chips and he is again on my left with 2.5X of my stack. BB just took a bad beat and crippled down to less than 3BB after posting the blind + ante. Folds to me and I have 33. I shove in order to just take the BB down and I am happy with any call from his side. But, to my surprise my nemesis guy goes into a tank and shoves himself. Now, out of a sudden, in between the payjumps we have a huge clash between 1st and 2nd chip stacks. He tables A7s. Flops himself a nut flush draw but bricks. So I almost equalize our stacks and 5 hands later I bust him and another player in one hand and eventually took down that event as well ahahah
Today is a milestone for us, for team Final Table! The first batch of beta testers started to use the app which we've invested the last 10 month of our lives. Crafting every single detail, flow, design, user experience with a surgeon technique to provide THE best hand logging app for beloved poker community. It all started years ago when I dedicated myself to poker and 10 months ago, when I just realised it is a shame that there's no proper tool that can keep up with the speed of live poker.
Although we are in beta phase right now, this image is sent to me while I was polishing the features and getting ready for public release. So you can imagine my adrenalin rush. For the first time ever, our app is beings used by a real user, in a real poker room and they love it!
It has been quite a bit of journey because this is not a weekend project built by AI. We changed whole design system 3 times, tested the whole hand logging flow every week with different techniques to finally find the one that clicks and works for us in first place. And now, seeing it working for first users is priceless.
We are still at the very beginning. It is not publicly released, we haven't generated a dime of income but oh man, this is so satisfying to ship something you love so much, you wont mind working your ass off on it and see it is being used by other players.

Looking for new horizons, keep grinding!
Hey, the title is "hello world" because we are almost here, getting through the app store and play store submissions. It is an exciting process but a bit harsh at the same time. I want to share our story.
I am a software engineer and a poker player. I am in love with the game and trying to become a professional player. It has been 3.5 years of grind, slowly but steadily my results are improving. Meanwhile I noticed that all the apps for poker players are either too complicated or too outdated. So I already knew what to do since I was also dreaming to find a passion project and eventually turn it to income stream in order to get rid of my job and focus to it and poker. And making that project in poker domain is a cherry on top.
Luckily, I have an amazing UI/UX designer friend and he is in love with his job. Although his calmness slowed us down a bit, I am glad we didn't rush.
We are always bombed with "ship fast" idea, which is OK but sometimes you just need to take your time in order to come up with something good and that's what we did.
9 months of non stop prototype, build, test, discover the bottlenecks, repeat.
And we are now so close. We currently have 50+ waitlist users and 100+ players from my local poker rooms waiting me to ship the app.
However, for now I mostly used reddit /poker sub to get early adopters but that sub is so overreactive to any app post. I also kinda understand because nowadays, apps are dropping like crazy but most of them are so close to even see what it is.
They think it's another "AI generated tracking app", without checking it. So, I would love to hear what would you do in this case? We haven't started social media marketing yet so it is not a big deal anyways but would love to hear some insights.
And this is the our web site: https://www.finaltable.io/
Me and my friend are crafting this app for the last 9 months and I am not saying this because I am the owner, but it is really better than most established apps. We started this journey with one thing in mind: Speed and better user experience.
I am a senior software engineer and MTT reg and he is a seasoned UI/UX designer.
We've been testing it for the last month with group of friends from my local poker room and they are pretty happy with it. However I would love to bring more users to identify any potential bugs and fix them before public release.
ALL BETA TESTERS WILL RECEIVE LIFE TIME FREE ACCESS!
But, I see that sub is so overreactive to any app post which I also kinda understand. But this is not "your next AI slop". We geniunely spent months of prototyping, testing and repeating the whole process and our approach to hand logging is never seen before.
I also got moderators' permission to post this. With all that being said, please let me introduce https://www.finaltable.io/
Feel free to drop your email with preferred platform selection in order to gain early and lifetime free access!
It is designed both for IOS and Android and fully supports 7 languages.
And Discord community is launching soon to hear all your feedbacks and suggestions.
Hey, I just want to identify what is correct in cash games? Add-on or rebuy? I am a MTT player and want to understand the difference. I see in some videos that players are saying "I added 3K mid session". I perceive this as add-on since for me rebuy is when you purely go to 0 and then reload.
