Side projects

Personal apps built to solve problems we ran into ourselves. Each one is also a live demo of what Ligobyte can build for you.

SportsDJ

Live

A professional-grade soundboard for sports DJs — built for the person running music at a live event. Player announcements, walk-up songs, crowd audio, and ceremony sequences all from one app. Bluetooth keep-alive, Spotify integration, and voice recording included.

BlueLine

In development

Scoreboards at amateur hockey rinks are controlled by complicated consoles that take real training to operate — so volunteer parents wing it. BlueLine is a BLE hardware bridge and phone app that gives operators a simple, hockey-specific UI they can learn in five minutes.

RinkBoard

In development

Lobby TVs at sports facilities scroll through a full day of events. Parents carrying gear have to stand and wait for the current slot to show up. RinkBoard replaces that with a real-time display — current events, locker room assignments, big text, instant updates from staff's phone.
