Chalkd is a social way to find and play sport with people in your community. As someone who enjoys sport and friendly competition, there is very few opportunities to play socially within my social network. Therefore an app was conceived to expand my network to local members to play socially. By combining the data sources of Google Maps, Google Places and Twitter API
For best results, send a tweet with the #chalkd hashtag from your twitter smartphone app.
To find players near you, share your location when asked and click and drag on the chalkd icon on he chalkboard to the area you would like to to play. You can expand and retract your radius to maximise or minimise your search results. When you’re happy with your area hit ‘Search’ in the top panel. You can narrow your search query by adding phrases after ‘#chalkd’ in the field bar such as soccer, basketball or football. Your results will come up on the pinboard and the thumbnail on the stickynotes will correspond geographically to the thumb on the chalkboard.
