Results Follower

When a follower has thirty seconds between meetings, they open the app expecting to find a specific result immediately. Scrolling through unrelated competitions loses them.

Search must be forgiving — partial names, club abbreviations, last week's tournament — and filters must persist across sessions so the same view loads on every visit. Live and final scores need to coexist visually so a follower instantly knows whether a match is settled or still in motion.

Speed is non-negotiable: cold-start latency above two seconds means people stop opening the app.

The results feed renders cached data first then refreshes via SSE for live matches, so the app opens to relevant content instantly. Filters per competition, club and player persist per user.

Search supports fuzzy matching across player names, club names and competition titles in all 43 supported languages.

Push notifications are the most powerful and most fragile tool in the toolkit. One unwanted ping costs trust; ten cost the install.

Followers want granular control: notify me when this player starts a knockout match, when this club wins a final, when this competition publishes the day's draw — but not when round-robin pool matches end at 22:00 on a Tuesday. Without granular controls, users either disable notifications entirely (losing the channel) or unsubscribe (losing the user).

The bar is exactly-what-I-asked-for, never anything else.

Notification preferences are configurable per entity (player, club, competition) and per event type (match start, score milestone, knockout result, final). Quiet hours respect device settings and explicit overrides.

Delivery is via APNs and FCM with sub-3-second targets for critical events.

On a busy tournament day, a follower might have twenty matches involving people or clubs they care about. Twenty pushes is unbearable; one digest is perfect.

The digest answers the question they actually want answered — "what mattered today for me?" — in a single scroll. It needs to highlight the meaningful (a quarter-final win, a relegation-defining loss) above the routine (a pool-play victory in the second round).

For followers in different time zones from the events, the digest is sometimes the only way they catch up before the next day starts.

End-of-day digests are generated per user from their followed entities, ranked by significance (knockout > pool, final > opening). Digests deliver via push and email at user-configured times.

A digest preview is also available in-app on the home screen.
