Looking For Disc Golfers

Hey everyone, I’m an everyday disc golfer and I built a free community platform called AceChasers because I got completely tired of using messy Facebook groups just to find people to play a round with locally. If you don’t use mainstream social networks or move to a new town, trying to card up with nearby players or find a like-minded community is a totally broken, fragmented experience. I wanted a single, dedicated home where we could connect with other players, organize meetups, and share our rounds without an algorithm getting in the way. Since it didn't exist, I learned how to code and built a fully custom web application completely from scratch. It is 100% free, entirely ad-free, and I integrated a one-click Google sign-in so joining the community and setting up your player profile is entirely effortless. It has built-in geo-location player discovery, a social media feed for ace photos, private messaging to coordinate cards, and automated disc golf news. We have a small crew of about 25 users right now, and to celebrate the launch I am hosting a premium plastic giveaway on the feed that runs until July 19th where you can win a GTO Leopard3, Proto Glow, and a Pro Series Duo just by making a profile and dropping a quick post. I am right in the thick of navigating the classic indie problem of local network effects to get our first 100 users, so whether you want to win some free discs or just want a cleaner way to connect with other players, I would love for you to swing by www.acechasers.net, sign in with your Google account, and let me know what you think.

    I think you're solving a network formation problem more than a social media problem.

    The hardest part isn't getting people to post—it's helping someone join and quickly find a group worth coming back for. If that happens consistently, the content usually follows naturally.
