Developer Needed to Build Video Feedback Platform for Sports Coaches

• Coach uploads a YouTube game link.
• Uploads team roster (player names + emails).
• While watching the game, the coach can tag a player at a timestamp and add a note (positive or negative, text or voice).
• When the session is done, each player automatically receives an email with:
  
  • Their tagged plays (linked to YouTube timestamps).
  • The coach’s feedback (voice + text).

• Frontend:
  
  • Video player (YouTube embedded).
  • Ability to pause & tag moments with player selection.
  • Add text comments + record short audio notes.
  • Roster management (upload CSV or manual entry).
• Backend:
  
  • Store video links, player roster, feedback tags, and notes.
  • Generate per-player reports.
  • Email system to send reports to each player automatically.
• Tech stack (suggested, open to your input):
  
  • Frontend: React or Next.js.
  • Backend: Node.js/Express or Django.
  • Database: PostgreSQL or Firebase.
  • File storage: AWS S3 (for audio notes).
  • Email delivery: SendGrid/Postmark.
  • YouTube API integration.

• Working web app where:
  
  1. Coach uploads YouTube link + roster.
  2. Tags plays with notes + players.
  3. Finishes session → emails automatically sent to players with personalized feedback.

• Experience with full-stack web apps.
• Comfortable working with video APIs and email systems.
• Ability to build a clean, intuitive UI (this must be very user-friendly for non-technical coaches).
• Bonus if you’ve worked with sports analytics or video annotation tools before.

• Share examples of SaaS/web apps you’ve built (especially video-based or annotation tools).
• Suggest your preferred tech stack for this MVP.
• Briefly outline how you’d approach Phase 1 (so I know you understand the workflow).

About the Project
I’m a hockey coach and I’ve identified a big gap in the tools available for player development. Coaches don’t have an easy way to upload a game video, tag specific plays for each player, and deliver personalized feedback with voice or text notes.


The vision is a simple, user-friendly web app:

• Coach uploads a YouTube game link.
• Uploads team roster (player names + emails).
• While watching the game, the coach can tag a player at a timestamp and add a note (positive or negative, text or voice).
• When the session is done, each player automatically receives an email with:
  • Their tagged plays (linked to YouTube timestamps).
  • The coach’s feedback (voice + text).

What I Need Built (MVP)

Deliverables for Phase 1 (MVP):

• Working web app where:
  1. Coach uploads YouTube link + roster.
  2. Tags plays with notes + players.
  3. Finishes session → emails automatically sent to players with personalized feedback.

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience with full-stack web apps.
• Comfortable working with video APIs and email systems.
• Ability to build a clean, intuitive UI (this must be very user-friendly for non-technical coaches).
• Bonus if you’ve worked with sports analytics or video annotation tools before.

Budget: Open to discussion depending on scope (initial MVP first, with potential for ongoing work).


How to Apply:

• Share examples of SaaS/web apps you’ve built (especially video-based or annotation tools).
• Suggest your preferred tech stack for this MVP.
• Briefly outline how you’d approach Phase 1 (so I know you understand the workflow).
