Recapp'd: Automated recaps and better boxscores 

Post#1 » by Kohanz » Wed Jan 28, 2015 6:12 pm

First, as a relative non-participant of this sub-forum, apologies for what may be considered spam by some. I hope that I make it worth your while.

I recently released a side-project I've been working on for a while called Recapp'd. For now, I'm letting smaller sub-communities that I think would find it interesting know about it, before blasting it out to everyone. My goal is to gather feedback and to see if whether the reasons that I built the site for resonate with people other than myself.

The site can be visited here:
http://recappd.com

Recapp'd uses play-by-play data to provide more information about a game than your typical boxscore. You can think of it as an automated game recap. It will tell you about game winning shots, buzzer beaters, and many more things, even alley-oops. It also uses this information to create what I think is a "better" box score, in the visual sense.

For example: http://recappd.com/games/2015/01/27/CHI-GS

I'd be very grateful if you browsed around and let me know what you thought. I'm happy to answer any questions and would love suggestions on badge concepts (the term "badge" will make sense after you view the site) you would like to see added. Twitter-love is also appreciated, but I'm not ready for Bieber-type traffic yet ;)

Thanks!

Very nice idea. This seems like a different way to look at box scores and provides a unique way of displaying a box score.
