Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I’m building a sports betting companion app focused on the live experience of tracking games on your phone.
Looking for devs who enjoy shaping how something should feel, not just implementing specs.

The AI cold email gap is almost always context, not quality. LLMs write grammatically correct emails all day. What they can't automatically do is know the recipient just published something, raised a round, or shipped a feature worth referencing.
Workflows that actually work: AI for template and tone, structured research for the specific hook. Maybe 30% research, 70% drafting automation. The research is where the ROI is.
What's your research input process before AI drafts the email?
Cold outreach doesn't compound, which is its structural weakness. Week 100 looks like week 1 - same effort, roughly same results.
The channels that compound: SEO (slow but persistent), community presence (reputation builds over time), partnerships (referrals from complementary tools). The founders who build durable businesses usually have at least one compounding channel under the outbound layer.
Which channel are you betting on to compound for you?

Sports betting live-tracking has a tricky core problem — the data update cadence and how you surface "what matters right now" during a game is what separates a genuinely useful app from just another scoreboard. The fact that you're thinking about how it feels rather than just what it shows is the right starting point.
Real-time sports UX is a pretty different build than a standard product. The user's emotional state shifts constantly with the game and the interface needs to move with it — which means the architecture decisions early on have a big impact on whether you can actually pull that off.
What does the core live view look like in your head right now — what's on screen when a play is happening?
Hey Max,
The live experience angle is what makes this interesting. Most betting apps optimize for transactions, not immersion.
I’ve built real-time mobile apps before (live updates, performance-sensitive UI flows). Curious, are you imagining this more as a second-screen experience during games, or something that replaces traditional sportsbook UI?
Would love to understand the product vision deeper.
I am in a similar position; looking for a technical co-founder to build something in the mobile product.
Interested to hear what to prioritise in a choice of partner beyond just tech skills?
Hey Max — interesting idea focusing on the live betting experience.
One thing I noticed is that the concept sounds promising, but it’s still a bit hard to understand what makes the companion app different from existing betting platforms or how users would experience it during a live game.
Many early founders start recruiting before validating positioning, which can make development harder later.
I help early-stage builders gather structured outsider feedback to clarify product direction before building too much.
If you’re open, I’d be happy to share a quick feedback breakdown.
Hey Max
I'm working on a mobile app right now actually, job matching platform in React Native. So I'm already in that headspace of building something that feels right not just functions.
Sports betting companion sounds fun. What stage are you at, do you have designs or a prototype or still figuring out the core concept? And is this a paid gig or looking for a partner?
Shot you an email too.
Interesting idea — have you validated the demand for this? What differentiates it from existing sports tracking apps
Already sent an email to mentioned Mail address, Its completely doable for me let me know, If you're intrested also you can connect with me.
Love the focus on how it should feel, not just specs. For live game tracking, the UX (latency, micro-interactions, alerts) is everything.
What’s the core flow you’re imagining: scoreboard + live bets + push notifications, or more like a companion second screen timeline?
Hi,
I'm a Swift specialist with deep xp in iOS development, and I also work closely with a team of experienced mobile app devs.
Can you share which core technologies you're currently using?
Do you have already have designs or an MVP in place?
Happy to discuss the details and explore how we can support you.
Hey Max 👋
This sounds interesting — especially the focus on live experience and feel, not just specs.
I’m a React Native developer with 3+ years experience building real-time, performance-focused mobile apps.
I’ve worked on apps involving live updates, complex state, and UX-heavy flows.
Just sent you an email as well 👍
Happy to chat more about the idea.
Hi, wouldn’t you like to use no-code tools?
Hi 👋
If you’re considering building the app using no-code tools, I’d be happy to help.
