🚨 Testers wanted 🚨
I have a huge update to Elite Hoops coming up. It adds user accounts, user sign up, and syncing data. Tons under the hood.
I'd love a hand testing the sign in/up flow:

My first, true "AI is changing my own personal life, work, etc" post. In short, I think it's a fantastic time to build stuff:

When I was but a young lil' pup, these reviews used to *kill* me.
But eventually, you become a hardened warrior, undeterred by reviews complaining about charging for your work, or not agreeing with design decisions you made.
Keep on rollin' friends, these reviews happen to all of us 🍻
- Numbers are small.
- I don't know soccer coaches, is what I built not as useful to them?
- My Apple Search Ads weren't enough to grow it, whereas with Elite Hoops, they were. Maybe PMF just isn't there?
Misc:
- Native, all Swift+SwiftUI. No backend.
- RevenueCat and Superwall integrated.

🚨 I'm looking to sell my soccer app, Elite Football Club.
It's like Elite Hoops, but for soccer (or football, depending on where you live 😉).
Reasons:
- I just haven't been able to grow it.
- But I also haven't really tried, I learned I dont care about soccer.
- Ive turned off all Apple Search Ads for it.
Pros:
- Solid base, and added practice planner that grew Elite Hoops recently.
- Same recordable whiteboard Elite Hoops has.
- Recently localized.
Cons:
