Show HN: A self-hosted website to track Pinball scores between friends (pinball-friends.com)
9 points by Einenlum on Jan 25, 2024 | hide | past | favorite
Hi there!

I have been a huge fan of pinballs for a few months, discovering all pinballs that are in my city, and I converted quite a few friends to it.

The only problem was that we wanted to keep an eye on everyone's score and I always did it in some notes on my phone. This was not very practical.

I decided to create a small website so that all my friends can add their scores while we're playing in a gig. The app is minimalistic on purpose: no user authentication, no call to any fancy Pinball API whatsoever. I just need a list of players, gigs, pinballs and scores.

The app is built with Laravel and SQLite so it should be easily deployed anywhere. I personally host it on Fly for free (they have a generous free tier). One can add HTTP Basic authentication with a common user/password to avoid having anyone unkown messing with your data.
