Short Summary

Hi,

I'm Hintea Dan Alexandru, a passionate technology enthusiast, developing software for a living for almost a decade now. One of my other passions is sport, especially tennis. When it comes to tennis, the only thing I like more than watching it, is playing it. And I play quite often, two to three times a week. I do either friendly matches with my colleagues or amateur tournaments.

Now, for any of these occasions I felt that it would be so awesome to have a tool or a system that persists the event. Something like the professional guys have, a scorekeeping system and all the post-analysis data and charts. Something I can look back into and see where I did good, where I did bad and where I should keep improving. Something I can share with others.

Therefore I started developing such a system and that's how SKeepy came to life.

Development is hard, and regardless of the effort I put into it, there's just not enough physical time to have the progress I would like.

So that's why I decided to start this campaign, and hopefully, with your help I can allocate a lot more time to this project.

What We Need & What You Get

The funding will mainly be used to cover the development costs of the system.

Some percent of it will go to infrastructure and marketing of the service, getting it known to the community and hopefully implement it as an official scoring system at some local sport clubs.

To make things more interesting I defined a couple of perks which will grant you early access to platform and even get you involved in shaping up the future of it. Check them out.

I opted for flexible funding because if the full goal is not reached, the partial funding can still be used to speed up the development process, even though it will surely delay the milestones.

The Impact

As Lord Kelvin said: "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it". I personally believe in this because it has been proven time and again.

And this is exactly my vision for SKeepy. In the big picture, I see it as tool that helps you measure and improve yourself and by doing so it promotes a healthy living through sport!

I strongly believe that having actual insight into an activity, as opposed to simple assumptions, is a highly motivational factor.

Risks & Challenges

I am committed to this project and I really want it to see the daylight. So it's not a matter of if but rather of when. The only risk I see is the delay of its release if I will not get the required funding.

Other Ways You Can Help

I would highly appreciate any kind of help I can get from you guys, and I understand if you cannot make a donation right now, but please help me spread the word about my idea. Use Indiegogo share tools or simply mention any of the project's web presence on your social circles.
