Yes! It seems that blog posts are 90% written for self promotion, or to express thoughts so we can save them somewhere for later.

Maybe it can substitute StackOverflow, we will get better and faster code / explanation. But in the next 30-50 years, who knows. I guess it can write a lot of code for us, maybe we will be obsolete in that period of time, but as we know, prediction of the future often times goes really really wrong.
They liked the idea, so we were live, and they threw paper bookings away. 100+ users in a few weeks. It was little bit of pressure to get things right, but after fixing bugs, I was pretty satisfied with first alpha version, which was basically MVP and POC (proof of concept).
Then another club joined and there was around 150 users very fast.
I expand app so players can have their own ratings when they store their results. It was pretty fun to watch how everything suddenly changes. Players started to have conversions about their rankings, and they started to play more tennis. They have all history now for their matches, so no more 'I beat you that time, how can you not remember that :)"
I wrote some cool stuff too, like module for leagues and tournaments, which we organised under our Sliceer brand. We have pretty successful league and tournament with over 150 players.
We expand reservations to more clubs outside my hometown, and we are trying to reach even more.
I have some income from app too, but it's very basic, mostly from Premium users who can see little bit more advanced features like 'one sign in', i.e. non Premium users have to login every two hours, etc.
Now, I'm improving registration page which has to be very simple and fun. So I wrote some 'onbording' process to make it even simpler for users to sign in. There is little bit more data then just email, so it has to be fun. Here is a short video https://imgur.com/B6g0YwX
This year we will be in more clubs, and with bigger tournament under our belt (waiting for corona shit to be over).
I like what I'm doing so far, and I'm enjoying building software that other people are using, which is in fact solving real problem. I see a lot of things that I can improve, but for now, I'm sticking to booking module to be the best it can be, so people will be forced to use it. I want to be that good.
For now, I have little less than 600 registered users, of which - in tennis season - 100 and more are using app every day, and there is around 1000 active users per month (this numbers of active users are from last year, still waiting new season to start). We have one guy who recently passed 100 matches!
For now, we are operating only in Croatia, and app is only translated in Croatian, but I'm looking forward to translate it to other languages so other people can use it.
And, yes, booking module (what I have so far) is free for all clubs. Advanced features like statistics and some custom logic for clubs is payed separately - already have on club with custom logic (payed).
If you have any questions I would love to answer them.
