Hi folks!

Welcome to DinkRadar, a passion project by EsperSentinel for everyone who plays pickleball in Singapore, and maybe beyond!

We’re still building, so a few things may wobble along the way. Spotted a bug or something we got wrong, got an idea, or just want to say hi? We’d love to hear it. Just tap at the top of any page, any time.

There’s been an update Version 0.6

  • New: Play. Round robins or open play for pickleball, padel and badminton, with finals and a TV board
  • New: Play has its own tile on the home page, and on phones one Menu button opens all six sections
  • New: live scores reach the other phones in a blink, with QR codes to score a court or follow the games
  • New: Email results puts the standings and all the games in the organiser's own email
  • New: the finals bracket reads left to right, with lines to the final; tap a name to see their path
  • New: organisers can tap a name on a court to swap players, and close a court that can't be used
  • New: iPads, tablets and opened foldables get the phone layout sized for the bigger screen, and Lab in its full layout
  • The Courts page loads faster: the map fills in sooner and open slots start loading sooner
  • Courts on phones: the map credits sit just above the list again, and Google Maps runs down to the list with no gap
  • Tablets: bigger paddle pictures, and a bigger paddle in Lab when held upright
  • Courts on phones and tablets: a picked court's card sits lower so more map shows, and is narrower on tablets
  • Lab: the longest paddle handles no longer tuck behind the buttons while the 3D paddle loads
  • The Lab has 10 more paddles to tune and compare, now 45
  • Lab Compare: every row fits and nothing gets cut off, on iPads either way up, foldables and computers
  • Lab: an arrow shows when tape takes a number off the scale, and the paddle list no longer flickers on phones

Here’s to growing a friendly pickleball community together. See you on court!
