Project Background
A Smarter Way to Find Pool Tournaments and Halls
CueConnect is a mobile application designed to simplify how pool players discover tournaments and connect with nearby pool halls. The platform allows players to create profiles, browse upcoming competitions, and find practice venues using geolocation and tailored search filters. By streamlining access to events and facilities, CueConnect helps players stay engaged and improve their game.
Laying the Groundwork for a Stronger Community
Beyond just finding tournaments, CueConnect fosters a connected pool-playing community. Players can search for and interact with others, while tournament organizers and venue owners can showcase their events to a targeted audience. As the platform evolves, future iterations will introduce additional interactive features, further strengthening connections between players and the broader pool ecosystem.
Our Approach
Building an MVP Designed for Efficiency and Growth
To bring CueConnect to life within a 35-day development cycle, Codemap Agency adopted a structured, agile development approach. The focus was on delivering a functional MVP that could be tested in the market while laying a foundation for future feature expansion.
Phase 1: Core Development & Testing (Weeks 1-2)
- Defined scope and set up project infrastructure.
- Developed 40-50% of the MVP, including player profiles, tournament discovery, and geolocation-based search.
- Conducted initial testing and gathered client feedback.
Phase 2: Final Development & Refinements (Weeks 3-5)
- Built out the remaining 50-60% of the scope, incorporating advanced filtering and player directories.
- Performed thorough quality assurance and debugging to ensure a smooth user experience.
- Conducted final client testing and prepared the app for real-world use.
Leveraging No-Code for Speed & Scalability
FlutterFlow was selected as the front-end framework to enable rapid native app development, while Firebase provided a real-time, cloud-based backend for seamless data management. This combination ensured that CueConnect was built efficiently without compromising performance or scalability.
The Results
A Functional MVP Ready for Market Testing
At the end of the 35-day sprint, CueConnect was successfully delivered with all key functionalities, allowing players to start discovering tournaments and pool halls immediately. The app’s geolocation and search features significantly reduced the time needed to find relevant events, making it easier for users to stay engaged with the sport.
Validating Market Demand Through Early Adoption
By rolling out the MVP to an initial user base, CueConnect was able to collect valuable feedback from players, tournament organizers, and venue owners. This early insight helped refine the platform’s roadmap, ensuring future iterations address real user needs.
A Scalable Foundation for Future Expansion
With a solid infrastructure in place, CueConnect is well-positioned for future growth. Planned enhancements include direct messaging, player rankings, and deeper tournament management features. The MVP’s success confirmed the viability of the concept and set the stage for its continued evolution.
