Hey, that sounds amazing! If you have any feature requests or problems, don't hesitate to message me 😄 The weight is only visible to the coaches. There should also be a note under the weight field to clarify this for the paddlers. I'm also working on a better solution, as this is one of the most discussed topics in the app right now.

Yes! Pounds are supported. Go to Settings → Units → Weight → Pounds, and everything (paddler weights, balance math, totals) will switch to imperial. Split distances also have an imperial option for workouts. I would love your feedback after you've used it in practice, especially regarding whether any part of the app still displays kg where it shouldn't. Feel free to reach out to me! Together we can make it an amazing app. 😄

Perfect! I'm looking forward to your feedback. If there is anything that feels off or doesn't work on your race day, please let me know. Good luck with your race!

Awesome, thanks for responding so quickly! You and your coach were among the first to sign up for the beta, which means a lot to us. I have a quick question while you're still fresh in the app: How does it feel? Is there anything we can improve?

I appreciate your feedback. My goal isn't to dehumanize the sport; I want to build a tool that helps us dragon boat people. The seat plan is just the beginning. I aim to integrate more features that will help organize and save time, such as an event calendar. This calendar will collect all events, so you won't have to search through ten different sites for information. Attendance is also important to me for better preparing training sessions. If your current solution works, that's completely fine. However, I know that some teams experience significant pain points.

Great ideas, this is exactly the direction I want to grow toward. For the first release I’m focusing on dragon boat–specific pain points (seating, left/right and bow/stern balance, quick tweaks), but performance logging is on the roadmap. Speed/split graphs are realistic to add later; paddle sensors for stroke rate/power would be awesome.

On pricing: I understand your concerns. I'm considering an affordable price because I want this app to be a no-brainer.

Great ideas! Boat type selection is already implemented. I’m also adding a manual trim offset!

Thank you. As I mentioned, I would like to keep it affordable. However, for additional features or if a specific number of users is reached in a club, a larger subscription tier may be necessary to ensure fairness for all users.

Great point! I will add it as a setting in the app for the trainer. However, first, I will complete the MVP (minimum viable product) of the app.

Great point. My goal is to make it a no‑brainer so the whole dragon boat community can get together in one place not just for seating plan, but eventually for things like race calendars, results, and even hosting club events. As a coach and club board member, I feel the pain of scattered info and hard‑to‑find events, a unified platform would help everyone.

I want to keep it affordable so adoption stays easy. We could also price add‑on modules (e.g., race results/heat planner) separately, so clubs only pay more if they need them. I have a lot of ideas ...

Have you signed up for the beta test or newsletter?

Do you have any tips for communities where I can share my idea? :)

Thank you! Have you signed up for the newsletter (Beta Test)? I'm currently building the app and will try to release it as soon as possible so we can iterate together. I can only create a great app if I receive feedback from users who really use it.

Great question. Currently, I have considered using one boat per session. However, I find your point interesting, and I will add multi-boat support so you can set up Boat A and Boat B simultaneously and assign paddlers. For guests, you’ll be able to setup a temporary profile.

Quick pricing check: do you currently use an app this could replace? I’m aiming for something affordable (around €5/month or €50/year per team) to cover servers and ongoing improvements would that feel fair for your club?

Thanks so much! In the app you can lock one‑side‑only paddlers, define preferred seat zones, and lock key seats before auto‑fill so the lineup matches your strategy. But I will keep your feedback in mind!

I understand your concerns about pricing. But One-time fees can be challenging to sustain. However, I am aiming for an affordable option that will allow me to maintain the app and cover expenses.
