Share your kid's game with family — in two taps.

One of the most common things I do after my son's game is text a stat line to my parents. It's always the same crappy two-message exchange — "He had 14 points and 3 threes" then "Wait what was the score?" — and then I dig through my notes to find it. Other parents on our team chat post phone-camera blurs of the gym. Nobody actually has a clean way to share what just happened.

So we shipped the simplest version of "share the game" we could think of. Two new things, both visible right now if you're signed in.

1. The "Share with family" button on the wrap-up screen

Right after you tap End game and confirm, you land on the wrap-up screen — the one with the final score, your kid's stat totals, and the green Save button. There's a new orange button right below Save:

Tap it and your phone's normal share sheet pops up — the same one you use to share a photo from your camera roll. Your kid's stat card is attached as an image. Pick WhatsApp, iMessage, your team's group chat, your parents, whoever. Two taps total.

The share button is purely additive. It doesn't save the game, doesn't change anything in the data, doesn't block you from saving normally afterward. You can share, then save. Or save, then share. Or skip it.

2. The "share Dan's last game" banner on your kid's page

Sometimes you don't end the game on your own phone — you co-track with another parent who finishes it for you, or you close the app right after the buzzer. The wrap-up share moment is gone. So we put the same share button on your kid's page (/p/<your-kid-slug>) as a persistent banner at the top:

The banner shows the most recent game's stat line at a glance. You can dismiss it (the ×) — it'll stay dismissed for that specific game, then re-appear once a new game is tracked. After 7 days the banner expires automatically so it doesn't feel like clutter when you haven't tracked recently.

What gets shared

Both buttons send the same thing — a square 1080×1080 stat card generated from your kid's game data, with the final score, the matchup, and your kid's headline numbers (PTS / 3PM / RBD / AST / STL). It looks like this:

The headline at the bottom is written automatically, with different framing for wins versus losses versus low-scoring games — so a 4-point night doesn't read sad, and a loss doesn't read like a downer when your kid played well. Win games say "helped get the W"; high-scoring games lead with the points; quiet games just acknowledge that your kid was on the floor.

What the recipient sees

When you share via WhatsApp / iMessage / Messenger, the card shows up as an image inline in the chat. Recipients see your kid's name and the stat line on their lock-screen preview without even opening anything. Like this:

Three things ride along with every share: the image (so the recipient sees the stat line at a glance), a short text caption (your kid's name + score line), and a link to your kid's player page (so curious recipients can tap through and see the season's stats, charts, and full game log).

How to use it

1. Track the game live like you normally do, then tap End game when the buzzer sounds.
2. On the wrap-up screen, type in the official final score (top of the screen), then tap Save game →.
3. Tap ★ Share with family right below it. Your phone's share sheet opens — pick the chat, person, or app you want to send to. Done.

If you missed the moment, open your kid's page (the link above the navbar that says your kid's name) and the same Share button is waiting in the orange banner at the top. Same flow, exactly the same image goes out.

One small caveat

The image-share path uses your phone's "share files" capability, which is supported on iPhone (iOS 16+) and modern Android. On older phones — or on desktop browsers like Firefox — the share falls back gracefully: instead of attaching the image, it copies the link to your kid's player page to your clipboard so you can paste it into a chat manually. The recipient still sees a link preview with the stat line. Just less visual punch.

If you tap Share and nothing seems to happen, check your clipboard — the link is probably already there.

Why we built this

Kids' youth basketball is a thing parents and grandparents care about deeply, and there's no good way to share the small wins. The pro stuff has highlight reels and ESPN scoreboards and graphic-design teams. Your kid's game has you, your phone, and a folding chair. The card is our attempt to give the small wins the same kind of visual respect — so when your kid drops 18, the people who love them see it the way you saw it.

Try it after your next game and let me know what you'd change. Reply to this post or text me directly. I'm reading every reply.
