Is there any demand for a simple-minded game database app?

Post by rooklift »

I'm in the process of writing a simple game database app for my own purposes. It can search by things like player names, event, date, but not position. You can see what it looks like at:

It's currently good enough for me, but not really usable by the masses in its current state, and I was wondering if there was any desire for such a thing, which would justify me doing the work to make it available. As I say, it's not a position searcher (and it's not going to be).

I would take a look at Kombilo (https://www.u-go.net/kombilo/) first. My memory is that it offers searches on both players and positions, so your option would have to provide some advantage. I do remember Kombilo's data files were quite large; perhaps there might be interest in a lightweight option.
