I’m building DiamondDesk, a modern baseball simulation inspired by Scoresheet / Strat-O-Matic — deep strategy, text-driven play-by-play, minimal graphics, maximum immersion.
Scoresheet-style sims are brilliant, but the UX and game flow feel stuck in the late 90s. My goal is to modernize the experience without dumbing it down: smarter managerial decisions, cleaner live gamecasts, better lineup/bullpen logic, and a product that feels like actually managing a game.
I’m not a developer, but I bring: • Deep domain knowledge from years in sim leagues • A clear product vision and written one-page pitch • UX and game-flow concepts already thought through • Realistic expectations (very early stage, iterative, equity-first)
I’m looking for a technical co-founder who: • Loves baseball or baseball sims • Enjoys systems, probabilities, and game logic • Is excited by text-based / systems-heavy products • Is open to equity-first, no upfront salary at this stage
Tech stack is flexible — ownership mentality and shared obsession matter far more.

Just vibe code it at that point, "equity" isn't a real offer for text-based simulators. Anyone who knows the story of Dwarf Fortress saw that firsthand.
