- What it is
-
The answer to “is there a rugby club near me?” — a question that today gets answered
with a search, a dead Facebook page and a bit of word of mouth. RFC Finder makes it a
thirty-second lookup. It’s live now at
rfcfinder.com.
- Finding a club
-
Type a location and set a radius. Clubs in range appear as pins on the map and as a list
underneath, both filtered together by Men’s, Women’s, Mixed, Youth or Old
Boys. Open one and you get the full profile — crest, year founded, division and
category, practice ground, practice days and times, website, email and phone.
- Being found
-
Clubs are seeded by hand so the map is useful from day one. A club can then
claim its own profile and keep it current — claims are approved manually,
so a listing can’t be hijacked.
- How it’s built
-
One Expo codebase targeting web, iOS and Android, on Supabase with PostGIS for the radius
search and Mapbox for the map and the location autocomplete. Rugby is the launch vertical,
but the club-specific parts are isolated on purpose — the same directory re-skins for any
other sport or hobby.
- Status
-
The web app is live and open to anyone. The iOS and Android builds come from the
same codebase and are on the way — no date promised until they’re through
review.
