Stitchpoint vs Pongo Meetup

For the needlepoint obsessed. Stitchpoint is the free needlepoint app for tracking canvases, threads, stitches, and the community of stitchers around you. Track every canvas from kit to finished piece. Search your needlepoint notions. Learn new stitches. Find the needlepoint shops near you. Find your next project in another stitcher's finished piece. WHAT YOU GET PROJECT TRACKING Every needlepoint project, from the moment you pick a canvas to the day it comes back from the finisher. Every WIP, every finished piece. YOUR NOTIONS, ORGANIZED Threads, wools, silks, ribbons, beads, needle minders, stretcher bars. Know what is in your stash before you buy that DMC 310 again. THE LNS DIRECTORY Local needlepoint shops, wherever you are. See which shops stitchers call home, and what they love about each one. YOUR LNS PASSPORT A stamp for every shop you visit. Photos to remember the trip. A list of the shops you want to visit next. A WISHLIST FOR THE CANVASES YOU LOVE Save canvases into collections. Christmas. For your mom. Maybe next year. No more losing canvases in your camera roll. A STITCH LIBRARY, WITH REAL EXAMPLES Every needlepoint stitch you might want to learn, with diagrams and real examples from other stitchers. INSPIRATION THAT GOES SOMEWHERE Bookmark what catches your eye — color combinations, finishing ideas, framing choices. Your visual notebook. A COMMUNITY OF STITCHERS Watch other stitchers' canvases go from kit to finished piece, and see exactly which threads, stitches, and canvases they used. New to needlepoint? You will not have to guess what to buy or which stitches to learn first. FREE FOREVER Your projects, your notions, and your wishlist stay free forever. The Skein is a yearly membership for stitchers who want a few extras and want to support what we are building. THE STORY IS SHORT Stitchpoint started with the questions stitchers kept asking each other. Which threads work for which canvases. What is already in the stash at home. How to learn a stitch you have never tried. My wife needlepoints. She told me there should be an app for it. I started building it that day. Since then we have listened to stitchers, canvas designers, shop owners, and finishers. They told us what they actually needed. We build that. Stitchpoint is for them, and for everyone who finds their way to needlepoint next. WORKS BEST FOR Needlepoint canvases, hand-painted and printed. Threads from any brand you collect. Stitches from bargello to basketweave. Stitchers who track their WIPs, build a wishlist, plan a shop hop, and want to see how the community fills a background. Made with care for the needlepoint community. Terms of Use: https://stitchpoint.app/terms

Pongo keeps your mahjong night on the calendar. Pick a date and time, invite your friends, and everyone says yes or no in one place. Track who is hosting, who is bringing tiles, and who is bringing a table. That is the whole job. No more "who's in for Thursday?" across a text thread that never ends. Pongo is friends-first. Connect with the people you actually play with, then pull them into a game in a tap. Play with the same crew every week? Save them as a group and invite them all at once. What you can do: - Propose a meetup with one date and time, and invite your friends. - Friends RSVP so the host knows who is in. - See who is hosting, who is bringing the table, and who is bringing tiles. - Chat with your group in one place, not five different threads. - Record who won after the night. Your games and wins roll up on your profile on their own. Nothing to hand-enter. - Pick the NMJL card year you play, and Pongo flags any invitee who does not own it. Built for American Mahjong (NMJL) and made to grow with other styles. Mahjong is a game with Chinese origins, and Pongo keeps that visible. We modernize the planning around the game, not the game itself. Pongo is free. No ads. No in-app purchases. Made for the host who keeps the night going.
