CorpsClash

Hi all, BAC 17' 19' alum here. I remember myself and basically all other members using DrumScorps to stay informed about scores when we marched. Those moments of anticipation in the tour bus, awaiting the pop-up notification with our competitors' scores, were incredibly tense and thrilling. My most vivid memory was pulling up the scores the night we passed the Cadets in 2017 😉 Unfortunately, it looks like DrumScorps ceased operations after the 2019 season, leaving a void in the 2022 season with no similar app available. Today, I'm proud to present CorpsClash as the successor to DrumScorps, prepared to serve the DCI community for the 2023 season and beyond. In essence, CorpsClash replicates the functionality of DrumScorps, while also aiming to bring additional features to the table! Creating CorpsClash has been a passion project for me, combining my love for drum corps with my skills in software development. I'm excited to give back to the drum corps community and plan to support CorpsClash for the foreseeable future. Other communication channels I created a Twitter account for CorpsClash. Currently, my plan is to only use Twitter for sharing updates on any outages or issues with CorpsClash, as direct communication may be impacted during if the servers are broken. I also added an announcements page in the app that is hosted separately and should be able to be accessed in the case of server outages. Monetization Unfortunately, hosting the servers for CorpsClash isn't free (gotta love those AWS bills). However, I firmly believe that CorpsClash should serve all its users effectively, so no crucial features will be locked behind a paywall. To cover costs, I plan to introduce a 'season pass' in-app purchase offering additional features such as dark mode and notification filtering. All revenue generated from these in-app purchases will be invested back into the CorpsClash, either to cover hosting costs or to improve the overall user experience (like bringing additional developers onboard). Feature Requests I work full-time as a software engineer, so I can only devote a certain amount of bandwidth to working on this app (i.e. weekends or after work). However, I want to get dark mode and notification filtering out within the next few weeks. I have a roadmap here, detailing features that are either planned or currently under development. You can add and upvote new features that you want. The best way to report bugs or other issues is to post them in the roadmap.
