How it works: Poker Tracker

For logging live poker sessions from a phone at the table, and seeing at a glance how they're going over time.

Philosophy

  • Quick to log at the table. A session takes a few taps on a phone: times, buy-in, cash-out, game, location.
  • The chart tells the story. Cumulative profit and loss as one line, over a range you pick, the way a stock app shows a portfolio.
  • Built to move. One codebase runs hosted or on a single home computer. The hosting is a thin layer, so the tool can move to a new machine with little setup.
  • Your data is one file. Everything exports to a single file and imports from it, so a flash drive carries it all and the local version needs no internet.
  • Private by default. The hosted version sits behind a sign-in, and real results never leave the tool.

What it owns

  • The session log: start and end, buy-in, cash-out, game, location and whether it was digital.
  • The dashboard: the profit/loss chart (1W, 1M, YTD, 1Y, 5Y, MAX) and the last-session card, set against per-session and per-hour averages.
  • Export and import of the whole data set.
  • The editable lists of games and locations.

What it hands off

  • NeptuneVibes.com: where the hosted version lives, and its sign-in.
  • Platform Engineer: the local port.
  • Art Director: the brand and icon.
  • A person: moving the data file by flash drive, and every deploy.

Guardrails

  • Never shows real results anywhere public. Screenshots and the devlog use made-up demo sessions.
  • Never keeps real data in its code repository.
  • Never goes live without the Owner's go-ahead.
