Split the bill, built in
Book a court and invite up to three partners, each of whom gets their own invitation to pay their share, so no one chases anyone for cash.
.NET 8

Find a court. Split the bill. Just play.
Court booking, split payments, tournaments and a full operator console — delivered as one ASP.NET Core 8 application with a customer website, installable mobile app, REST API and admin console.

What sets it apart
Built for padel, not retro‑fitted.
Five things that distinguish PadelNation from general-purpose booking software.
Slot-accurate availability
A booking reserves every half-hour it actually occupies, so a 90-minute game blocks the full 90 minutes and the grid never offers a time that will fail at checkout.
One calendar for online and walk-in
Front-desk bookings and app bookings write to the same live availability and the same rate card, so a court can never be sold twice or at two different prices.
Installable app, no app store
Customers add it to their home screen straight from the browser and it opens full-screen like a native app — no download, no review queue, no update to push.
Built for the UAE
Prices in AED, times in Gulf Standard Time and mobile-number sign-in, rather than a global platform retro-fitted to the region.

Technical details
Clean architecture on .NET 8.
Four projects, dependencies pointing inward only — swapping the database or the web framework touches only the outer rings.
Architecture
WebREST API, admin area and customer site
InfrastructureEF Core, repositories, Dapper, JWT, seeding, DI
ApplicationInterfaces, DTOs and business services
Domain37 entities and enums. No dependencies.
Two data paths, deliberately. Writes go through EF Core for change tracking, transactions and a unit of work. List, report and availability screens read through hand-tuned Dapper SQL against indexed tables.
Technology stack
- Runtime
- .NET 8, C#, ASP.NET Core MVC

- Hosting
- IIS in-process, Linux with Nginx, or Docker
Security
Deny by default. Identity from the token, never the request.Two auth schemesCookies for the operator console (8-hour sliding), JWT bearer for the customer API (30-day). An admin cookie cannot satisfy the API policy.
Server-authoritative pricingBooking requests carry no money fields; the server prices from the court rate card and re-validates coupons.
PBKDF2-SHA256100,000 iterations with per-user salt and constant-time comparison.
CSRF & secretsAntiforgery tokens on every operator POST. No credentials in source; refuses to start with a placeholder signing key.
Deployment
