The Donk

Every table needs one

An origin story

Donk didn’t set out to build anything. He just wanted a game on a Tuesday. Then he wanted to see the clock without cricking his neck. Then he wanted to know if he was any good. Three things he made along the way.

Scene 1 · The Game

Donk just wanted a game.

“Tuesday at the Royal? Last week, sure. This week — who knows.”

So he made a list. Every pub, every night, every mob. A directory of games — wherever you are.

Scene 2 · The Clock

Then he wanted to see the clock.

“Mate, what are the blinds?” — every two minutes, every table, forever.

Cricked neck. Cricked patience. Donk had a thought: put the clock where the cards live. So he made a smart dealer button that runs the whole game from the middle of the felt.

Scene 3 · The Question

Then he wanted to know if he was any good.

After enough rivers and bad beats, every donk asks the question.

So Donk built an app. It tracks every tournament — every cash, every donation — and the Donkometer keeps your donk stats up to date. Somewhere between donkey and shark.

Three things he made trying to figure out if he was any good. Turns out we’re all donks to someone.
