Curling Sweeping Trainer
This is my 2020 Christmas holiday project. I am an amateur curler from Switzerland. Around the World the Covid pandemic restricts the ability to play curling.
This situation gave me the idea to generate a web application to help me (and maybe some others) to do something related to curling at home. This website helps you practice sweeping at home. You can choose different parameters to personalize your experience.
I am not a software engineer but if you have some ideas or you can write some code, please feel free to submit some pull requests.
Features
- standalone web application, you need only a recent browser
- mobile and desktop ready (responsive layout)
- personalize all parameters (sweeping and pause time, repetition and ...)
- no cookies and no tracking
- host the website on your server
Website link
Next improvements
- improve the website style and my English translations (help needed!)
- save settings locally
- pause a training session
- implement the sound of one or multiple skips (do you have some audio sample?)
- add some brain exercise during the sweeping time
- create a docker container and docker-compose example for simple hosting
