I’d love to do it if I knew anything about pickleball tactics, but I don’t.

Yep, I made the sprite sheets etc by myself in Figma.

You can instal the web app to the home screen on IOS so far, it's similar experience. Let me know if you need a guidance to do that, it takes 1 minute.

Wow, it's really surprising to hear that about Sweden. According to the FIP report there are 14,355 courts built in 2025 worldwide (39 courts per day!).

And Sweden seem to be way ahead than any other country in this padel mania and who knows, many same future is prepared for other countries soon.

But now in Portugal we see a different situation, a lot of clubs are 90% to 100% booked and new padel clubs still appear.

Thanks for the feedback! The buttons on the actual court should also be clickable, doesn't it work for you? If so can you please tell me your device / OS you're testing it on?

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I raised the limit from 5 to 10 free puzzles per day so far and I will consider alternative monetization models.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, having some landmarks on the canvas helps to transfer the app's experience and concepts to a real padel court.

Agreed, I think padel found a great balance between being accessible and athletic at the same time.

After reaching a playable level people start to compete in tournaments and in competitive games on Playtomic and then the technique starts to matter, maybe a bit less than in tennis. There are still plenty of basic padel shots you have to spend 10-100s of hours to master with a coach to be able to compete on a higher ranking.

I see a lot of people transition from squash and tennis to padel nowadays and basically any racket sport experience helps it a lot.

Yeah, it's addictive. I saw stats that 9 out of 10 people who played for the first time plays twice and more.
