Pokémon Card Market Intelligence Dashboard
A full-stack dashboard for tracking Pokémon TCG card prices over time, built as a portfolio piece to showcase Vue, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL skills.
Problem
TODO: Write up the problem this dashboard solves. What gap in existing tooling did you notice? What would a hiring manager learn about your judgment from this section?
Approach
TODO: How did you scope it? What did you cut? Why did you pick Vue + FastAPI + Postgres? Why Render for hosting?
Key decisions
TODO: 3-5 specific decisions and why. Things like:
- Why TCGdex over the eBay Finding API (and what you learned when the eBay API turned out to be decommissioned)
- Why box-and-whisker charts for price distributions
- Why URL-persistent filters
- Why a Magikarp-themed dark UI
What I learned
TODO: Honest section. What surprised you? What would you do differently?
What’s next
TODO: Currently planned features, what milestone you’re on.
