RunCheck — Marketing Website
The official landing site for RunCheck, a pickup basketball app that helps players find live games near them. Built and maintained by Tracy H., founder of RunCheck.
Live site: theruncheck.app
About RunCheck
RunCheck solves a problem every pickup basketball player knows: you drive to the gym and it's empty. The app lets players check in at courts in real time using GPS verification, so anyone can see exactly how many people are at a gym before they leave the house.
Currently live in Austin, TX and surrounding areas — with more cities coming soon.

Deploying
The site deploys automatically to Vercel. To push a manual production build:
cd ~/Desktop/runcheck-site
vercel --prod
Email capture
The early access email form in the homepage is wired to a submitEmail() function in app/page.tsx. To connect it to a real email service (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, etc.), replace the console.log inside that function with your API call. No other changes needed.
