Apply HN: Dribblr – app to organize pickup sports
Dribblr will allow players to create games, invite FB friends and saved groups of friends, view RSVPs, and split costs through RSVPs. Invites can be sent to contacts regardless of if they have Dribblr or not.
Players looking for a game can search a map view or a chronological view with the sports they like, get invited to games, or set up subscription alerts.
The novel part of the app is the SUBSCRIPTION PREFERENCES: Knowing when a player is free, his preferred sports, competitive level, and geographical range will notify him of the best games for him being created by friends and other users.
I hope to eventually build an AI to take everyone's preferences and create perfect games for them to save everyone even more time and frustration.

- aerovistae 11y agoI would be pretty reluctant to use a name that already has a strong connotation. I think most people are going to jump to thoughts of Dribbble.
- myroon5 11y agoHave thought about this. Other names I considered included Sportify, which is undeniably worse in this respect haha
- aerovistae 11y agoThat's hilarious.
- buss 11y agoHow big is this market? How much could you actually make from this?
- myroon5 11y agoThe biggest potential streams of revenue would be taking a cut of payments split through the app, charging local governments (parks and recs)/businesses for analyzed data, and helping indoor sports facilities gain leads, schedule bookings, and receive payments. Indoor sports facilities are a growing billion dollar business in America and they could definitely use help streamlining their processes.
