Just imagine going down your block and play a classic 3v3 basketball game with friends, you do a great move and score. Everyone on the field is amazed, and they will keep telling the story forever, but none will ever see this move because it was not recorded. This exactly what Hooper is doing, just set it up to record your game, and its AI will analyze your moves and give you some stats. Perfect for all the folks interested to improve their skills.

Hey everyone! @stevenk and I started building Hooper six months ago. We play a lot of pickup together and were arguing about who has a better jump shot and ended up hacking together something to settle it 😅 The way Hooper works is you can record yourself using the app and ideally a tripod. The app will track everyone, whether it’s a solo practice, a 3v3, or a 5v5. We think there’s a lot of stuff out there for basketball drills but what we really wanted Hooper to be for is actual game play. That means, it can do things like track multiple players, sync two half court recordings, and differentiate 2s vs 3s. Once you finish recording, it’ll process for a bit and then ask you to tag yourself (and optionally other players). Then it spits back out a few things: you can watch the full footage as well as a clipped version that’s only the interesting plays; you can see highlights and offensive box stats for every tagged player. When you sign up, you get a Hooper profile that tracks your overall stats across the sessions. You can also do things like build a mixtape from your highlights for insta. You can friend other players on Hooper to see their profile & comment on their games. We’ve been in a closed beta for about 3 months now, fixing bugs and getting things to work with a set of early adopters. We are now starting our open beta 🎉! If you love basketball, try it out! You can download the app in testflight for iOS and in the play store for android. We are still early in our journey, and lots of improvements to be made in the next few months, but we would love your feedback and ideas!

@farhadnoorzay 😆 I am sad to say I can no longer pretend I am better at shooting. I will still stand by my turnaround fade though

Huge fan of this app after finding it a few days ago on hacker news. Works well for tracking makes and creating highlights, which everyone in my multiple pickup games want to see. Shot chart and percentages are a great touch but the tagging of players so they can see their numbers is the most compelling part and the guys in my gym appreciate that. Rebounds / assists would be great to track as well in the future. Heres my full initial reaction to the app:

@frank_denbow Thanks for the shoutout Frank, and for taking the time to provide us feedback! It goes a long way for us to make our app better as we continue building

Yes love it! Mixtapes are a huge part of the Hooper app. We are planning on building more personalization features in this direction as well, e.g. adding music, or even sound effects like popular announcer commentary and more.
