Klutch Pickup
Don't look for pick up games, my friend. Let the pick up games find you.
What?
Klutch Pickup is a easy to use tool for finding and sharing pickup sports games near you. It's a fully functional web app built with Ruby on Rails. It takes advantage of the google maps and google location api's, as well as the Twilio texting api.
Why?
We've all had those times when we just want to play some a sport, but have no one to play with. Finding other players can be difficult even though there are lots of people out there who want to play.
Features:
- Easy sign up.
- Quickly post games.
- Nearby players who are interested in the sport you are posting instantly get text messages with details about the pickup game you have posted.
- Smart location posting. Users simply type the name of any address or park, and the app translates that into meaningful map data automatically.
Why Rails?
Ruby on Rails allowed us to scaffold out a backend very quickly and focus on the user experience and various api integration.
