Since I can't play basketball with people, I built an app that helps me play basketball with myself. It uses object detection to identify me shooting and the ball going in or not and then creates a heatmap in real-time. Sort of like fitbit for basketball. I had to do some labelling myself, but it didn't take too long and it's working! I try to beat my shooting percentage from the day before. I put it on the Apple App Store to start and I'll build an android version next.
This is so cool!
It's been a while since I'd looked at Homecourt[0], but it looks like they've expanded quite beyond the shot tracking. Cool that you're competing against Steve Nash hah
This is super neat though, looking forward to following along. Would love to sign up for a newsletter if yas had one.
Thanks, man. I built it, showed some friends, and then learned there was a competitor, but that's cool. The world needs more than one and for some reason they don't offer anything to the billions of android users.
Based on my conversations with users, shot tracking is most used feature by far. There are a bunch of other services that help with dribbling [0] and drills [1].
