Board Game Catalog
Full-stack web application for my family to browse, track, and add to our 400+ board game collection.

Overview
I built this app to help my family manage our huge board game collection (over 400 games!). Finding the right game used to be a hassle, so I made it easy to filter games by player count, style, and how long they take to play. To make adding new games simpler, I connected to the BoardGameGeek API which allows you to just start typing the name and it fills in all the details automatically. I used Firebase for the backend data storage and added the DeepL API so everything works in both English and French for the whole family. My favorite part is how the games show up as cards with tags, making it super easy to find the perfect game for game night.
Challenges
- •Ensuring the correct games were being added to the database
- •Creating an intuitive UI that worked well for all my family members
