A tracking system for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Enter your collection using easy-to-infer identifiers. Track prices from TCGplayer across multiple printings and styles. Consolidate printings to quickly know what decks you can build.
A personal project to build a web application in Next.js. I created a backend using WordPress and stored cards in a custom post type. Content was fetched through GraphQL, and custom REST endpoints were used to facilitate personal collections. Data was collected through an automated WP-CLI command; unfortunately, there was still a large amount of manual intervention required which made the project unsustainable.
