One of my kids recently started playing travel basketball and being a nerdy, into stats tech dad I wanted to take stats on the game.
Instead of downloading an existing app, I decided to see if I could write my own web app with the following constraints:
- no frameworks
- just basic javascript
- track multiple stats
- be able to enter stats via phone and only using one hand
- while also holding a 4 year old in my other arm
It was a fun exercise and I actually got it working! It can track multiple players, multiple stats and even saves the data to a server for later viewing or more analysis.
"You can just build things" also includes fully functional web apps using old school technologies to solve your own needs/constraints.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoI don't understand what this has to do with the topic.
- alexpotato 2y agoThe general topic was web apps vs phone apps. I was pointing out that this applies to apps that you can build yourself.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoThis is about apps being easily simple enough to make into a web page. No one is saying a table with javascript can't be done in a web page, people have been doing it for 30 years.
