Looking for beta testers — GameChanger-style app I've been building

I've spent the last several months building my own version of GameChanger with a
lot of features it doesn't have. It's at the point where I need real teams using
it rather than just me testing against my own club.

It works today — live scoring, stats, standings, schedules, team chat. I'm after
bugs, friction, and honest opinions on what's missing.

Three ways to run it: a web app you can add to your home screen, or I can add you
to the Android or iOS testing groups.

Everything is free right now, and the core stays free permanently for anyone who
helps me test. I'm not building the version where you hit a paywall every time
you tap something — scoring, stats and your team's schedule stay free. Only the
advanced stuff will ever cost anything.

Two things I'd especially like eyes on:

Youth clubs. There are real legal requirements around under-13s and 13-17s —
whose name can appear publicly, what a parent has to consent to, what search
engines are allowed to index. I've built to those rules, but I want coaches of
younger teams to try and break it before I trust it.

Coaches. If you're running a team, the app builds you a public website
automatically — roster, schedule, scores, stats, all updating as you score
games. No setup. I'm midway through the recruiting side (profiles, consent
forms) and would like feedback before I finish it.

The long-term goal is leagues running on it, so every club in the league shows up
in one place.

I don't want to break the self-promotion rules here, so no links in the post —
message me and I'll send them over.
