Any tech savvy Players/Home Game runners that would be willing to help test out my software (for fun) in the near future. I run a software engineering dept as my day job for many years and although my front end skills are rusty AF (meaning I was decent in VB6 and .Net 15-20 years ago) I am very solid in Database so I had the backend for years. With AI advancing and work pushing us to learn the ins and outs they said go crazy and do whatever home project to learn and test. So here I am with an over engineered poker app.

There is absolutely no expectations here, in 2 days I might just be done and end it or you might just say hey I got busy don't have time anymore. There is also no expectation of data privacy in fact I will be looking on purpose to see if things are working as intended. I really have no idea what my intentions are for this other then using it myself (+ a few friends) and having fun. But I did wind up doing a few things this community loves to talk about. Here is what the app intends to do (does it really, who knows).

Player Section is all about Session Management for the individual

Club section is running a game
Invite Management
Club Management
Member Management
Event Management (clock still under construction)
Blinds Structure
Payout Structure
Chipset Config

Admin section is for me ... config and tools to run the app

This is basically all the stuff I have been doing manually for 20 years but in an app --- diarrhea of my poker mind if you will
FYI I found some unique ways to do Invite management without Twilio or a service (small 1 time fee needed I think it was 5 bucks)

Anyway this is constantly changing as I see fit but if anyone interested in giving honest feedback and passing issues off to me then hit me up. Even if the feedback is man this sucks, I don't care it will not hurt my feelings. Like I said this was intended for me and me alone but I got crazy on the engineering side so who the eff knows where it goes. FYI this pilot will be very small as this is not hosted or anything just me playing around. If I have a choice I am way more likely to give a login to trusted forum members I recognize from the 12 years I have been on PCF, and if not then maybe just chat about ideas here which is cool as well.

Also note I have gone through 10 names already and I do not know what to call it, every time I try a name I find out later it is in use so I move on. Name may just be a place holder.

A few screenshots (pages are mobile friendly as well)

Always happy to chat about more ideas,

Having a lot of fun creating caricature profile pics for demo data :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
I made some data up like Grama has no first/last name in the credits I don't think.

This is how my GameNight Project started... i just wanted a way to send and receive SMS text for game invites... It grew into a life of its own!

I like your use of the left hand menu.
 
I found an interesting way to send SMS without a service if you are interested we can compare notes. When I have time I will DL Game Night but don't want to be influenced just yet. @Al Azouri who is a good friend of mine and created this https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/invitetracker.89110/ uses those services like twilio and I always noticed people have issues out of their control from 3rd parties so was trying to skip that if possible or at least come up with an alternative.
 
BTW @Isorg to be up front I have written precisely 0 lines of code, never even looked at, all AI i just direct.

Curious what you are using?

For SMTP I started with Twillio, but didn't want to really spend the $$, moved to google workspace but, found a limit of 150 a day for new accounts and it could take months to unlock the full send abilities. I am using Brevo now, since I seem to easily fit into their free tier!

SMS, now this was the holy grail for me, I wanted 2 way SMS. I wanted the users to be able to reply straight to the SMS and acknowledge the invite. you need a 10dlc to be able to send sms like this. Started with Twilio, and tried a few others, but was having issues with the 10dlc process. The guys over at surge.app were very helpful and got me working for a very low cost $5/month give me 2 way SMS. FYI, you can't send a 10dlc messge to a url with .poker in it! LOL

Whats app, was almost an after thought :)

Trust me! I know! I am a system admin / Dev my self, I only dabble in code. Using AI is a force multiplayer!
 
oh this is not 2 way this is just sending out SMS so far ... I have 2 methods working. Easy method just hit the button while on phone and it creates text in default app pulls it up ... you just hit send so ... comes from you. This is fine for some stuff but could not carry a JWT token for SSO back in so then I do almost the same thing except 1 at a time with token and instead of the user hitting send it is automated through tasker on your phone. so there is a cost for tasker which is 1 time under 5 bucks. Both methods have been working fine for me so far and i like that they come from you.
 
made some tags to keep it simple to send more complex messages
