I built a website to help organize cash games (1 Viewer)

There is an app called poker tools that does this exact thing. This website makes it easy to access without having to download anything. I think if you can find a better name it can get more traffic.

Sometimes cash is just not possible, this software is to help hosts when thats the case. Otherwise use cash

I don’t want to be a wet blanket but I don’t even know what this means. Civil unrest, collapse of the dollar?

Back when players used to show up with cash, managing cash games was way easier. But these days, me and my friends handle all money transfers through Venmo. Its always a 15 min hassle at the end of every game to figure out who needs to pay who.

So I created a website to handle all of this:

https://www.tarnib.live/poker

No login required, supposed to be a very quick and lightweight tool that you can pull out on your phone.

Simply create a room, and start adding players. You can edit buy in amounts by clicking on a player's row in the list of players.

Once players start to leave, or when the game ends, click on the players, and enter their cash out amount. Once all cash outs are entered, the reimbursements are calculated, and displayed for the least amount of transactions necessary.

All rooms created can be accessed in the list of rooms on https://www.tarnib.live/poker, in case you accidentally closed your tab. If you don't want strangers seeing your home game results, you can set an optional password. You can also give your room an optional name to easily find it in the list of rooms. Rooms in the list will be deleted 1 week from creation to reduce clutter.

If you want to save your results, you can click the save icon on the top right, which will print the results in PDF format, and save it on your device (if colors don't work in the PDF, make sure to enable background graphics in the advanced settings).

My friends and I have been using this for our cash games for a few months now, and usually send a screenshot of the results in our group chat at the end of every game. Now that I'm a part of PCF, I wanted to share it here.

I strongly recommend that only 1 person be in charge of handling changes in your room, as changes made on one device will not show on other devices unless the page is refreshed.

Hopefully the website is self explanatory, and you shouldn't have any issued navigating it, but if you do feel free to leave any feedback or constructive criticism on this thread.

Are you building a website for tarnib too?

Lol you caught me. I originally built tarnib.live to play with my friends since we all live in different cities now. But then I decided to build tarnib.live/poker to keep it under the same domain name. Never intended on making this a public thing, it was more of an app for me to use with my friends to make our lives easier.

Then I joined PCF and thought why not and decided to share it here for whoever was interested. I cleaned up the poker part of the website since other users were gonna use it and disabled the tarnib part since its not ready for public use. This was more a small passion project

Bump for an awesome app. I got tired of being bank and eating transaction costs at the end of the night. This app works great.

When I click create room nothing happens

Disable wifi and try again. I had that problem once and it worked when I was on 5g but not wifi. No idea why.

When I click create room nothing happens

I too am having the same issue, tried mobile, and 3 different browsers on the PC. No new room.

 

[HiveKueen]

Same issue here - nothing happens. I'm on a PC and tried Firefox and Edge.

 

[ballefrans]

You guys obviously broke it! Thanks a lot

Glad I found that out before hosting this weekend

 

[ballefrans]

Downloaded regroup poker tools app on iOS. Does the same thing a lot smoother. Looks good so far. Dont break that one too please.

 

[BleedingChips]

Anyone having luck with Tarnib or still out of commission? I am gearing up to host after a couple months off and was sad to see it didn’t work last time I tried.

 

[LotsOfChips]

LOL, this is why cash is preferred. It doesn't matter if there is a server outage, or if the Internet goes dark, or if you can't get cell coverage, or if someone hacks the app (or any of a hundred other reasons why an app can fail). You don't need to track who bought in for how much, or who owes who. You just exchange cash for chips (and vice versa) and Robert's your mother's brother.

 

[Jers28]

And no paper trail

Been looking for something like this but I want to host it on my own servers for my personal use.
