Description

A polling app where users vote on which Pokémon is roundest, based on t3dotgg's roundest-mon stream project.

Overview

My original version of this app was built with the T3 Stack on PlanetScale. When PlanetScale removed its free tier, the app went offline for a while. I rebuilt it with SvelteKit and Turso, and it is now functional again, though still a work in progress.

When I first started the rebuild, I was hitting my database way too hard. I had seeded it with Pokémon names and sprites from PokéAPI and was showing real-time results on the front page. That was burning through my Turso free tier, so I changed the approach. Now everything is pulled directly from PokéAPI, and my database mainly tracks vote counts and persists the results page.
