The games that stay with us.
Hadeshe grew out of football matches with friends and a desire to remember what happened on the pitch long after the match ended.
“We met once a week, and it carried us through the whole week.”
From memory into history
What began as a weekly game slowly became a record of the people, scores, and moments around it.
The games we grew up with
I have played football in the neighborhood since I was a kid. By middle school, a regular group had formed around the games: we ran competitions and tournaments, and the final became an event of its own. Friends from school, and later friends of friends, would show up, join in, and play with us. I still love returning to those memories.
Back on the pitch
Years later, several groups of friends got organized and brought those childhood football matches back to life. We met once a week, and that one match gave us energy for the whole week.
When we started keeping track
I wanted a simple way to follow our matches, so I built an app. Suddenly there was another layer to the game: we counted matches and wins, revisited old results, and watched our story build week by week.
Built again, for everyone
A few years later, I rebuilt the app in a more flexible, general form. I opened it to everyone so other groups could document their matches and enjoy the story that grows over time.
Hadeshe today
Since then, we have added video review and advanced statistics. Today we film the matches, return to individual plays, and see them from a new angle. The game still belongs to friends; the tools around it now give it the feel of a real football club.
