About the founder
Friendly Wagers is the work of Zak Taylor, a solo developer who's spent his entire career in tech. The app started where most good indie software does — with a problem the maker kept running into on his own time.
For Zak, that was the weekly accounting of bets among the friend group he plays golf with. Scorecards in glove compartments. Half-finished math on cocktail napkins at the 19th hole. Someone forgetting who pressed on the back nine. He looked for an app that handled it well and didn't find one that did it the way his group actually plays.
So he built Friendly Wagers. iOS-first because that's where his foursome lives. The app supports forty-four game formats — nearly two hundred rule options and a custom scorecard for every game that needs one — including the side games his group had to write rules for themselves, and the kind of clean settlement math that lets you walk off the 18th green and into the dinner reservation without anyone arguing.
It's the app he wanted to use.
