Well done Winfort Lofts. Looks useful. I know Chris was working on one that I was testing but that seemed to fizzle out. I did use Hawkeye which I did find good but the biggest problem with that was that it only ran on a PC and couldn’t be downloaded on anything else. I’d be interested in giving it a trial along with others.

OMG. That is amazing mate. Is it intended for use on a mobile or is it for pc or added to a clocking system.
Gotta say well done Winfort - it has enormous potential
Thanks!
It's a Web App, so currently it can be access via the web browser, either on mobile or PC. I do plan eventually for it to be downloadable from the app stores, and has been built with that flexibility in mind!
Very good mate, well done.
I'd certainly look at it once it's up and running too

Hi Winfort I hope you dont mind me making some individual comments regarding your amazing work on this system.
I certainly couldnt offer any comments regarding the technical element and layout etc. but since you asked for feedback I have few comments that you may have probably already considered and dismissed or not wanted to include in the first place.
The first is that my first reference to any of my birds is through a name or a tag ie the 'blue W/F cock' which is instantly recognisable to me rather than trolling through ring numbers. So a facility for a name tag would be beneficial to me personally.
The 2nd would be for a facility for the weather condiitions (at least the wind) within the race report.
and the 3rd would be a facility to show where the bird was bred ie a strain or a 'line of birds'
I hope that other members will also comment on these and add their own feed back which might benefit your plans for the system.
Can I also ask if any of your plans include for the printing- off of or down loading any of the details?

Funnily enough I did have a name tag in place originally, but hid it as I don't tend to use it all that often myself.
But yes, I can definitely include the flexibility there if it something people would want!
I do need to add in the option to display the strains, as I know that was something I had left out also.
Now, your comment about the weather, this is something I have included, but now realise was hidden in the first load of screenshots. So I'll share that one here

Technically it's live now, I just haven't shared the link yet.
I'm just working a few bits out, and then will share with you all
