Status Live

Published web app, in active use for real league and tournament tracking.

Build Type Solo

Personal bowling analytics project, design through build.

Primary Focus

Bowling data, local-first workflows, performance reports, saved sets, and score analysis.

Project Overview

Purpose: Pin-Sighter helps bowlers keep structured records of games, sets, equipment, lane conditions, patterns, and performance trends.

Problem: Bowling data is usually scattered across memory, paper notes, screenshots, or basic scoring apps. Pin-Sighter organizes those details into a reusable tracking system.

Approach: The app combines frame-by-frame logging, saved set history, bowler management, pattern tracking, and exportable reports in one local-first workflow.

Local-First Data

Pin-Sighter is built around local data storage. Bowling data is intended to stay on the user's device unless they manually export it or share a backup file.
