Summary

Playing the Field is a no-code dating app for sports fans that connects users with similar interests in a platonic or romantic basis. The app was built using Bubble's no-code platform, which enabled its founder, Michael Katos, to launch an MVP within 6 weeks without requiring extensive technical expertise. With a small marketing budget and strategy, the app has gained over 200 users and aims to reach 1000 users by September's NFL kickoff and 5000-10,000 users by MLB's opening day in 2021. The app offers features such as profile creation, matching, and conversation starters, allowing users to connect with others who share their passion for sports. Michael Katos plans to update the app, create native versions, and hire a development and design team to improve its functionality and user experience.
