Summary

Looking for a Full Stack Web Developer — Browser-Based Sports Trivia Game I'm building STATS, a daily browser-based NBA trivia game where players guess a mystery athlete using progressive statistical clues. Think Wordle meets sports trivia — fast, intuitive, and built for sports fans. The concept is fully designed and documented. I have a complete project brief ready to share with the right developer. I need someone to bring it to life. --- PROJECT SUMMARY STATS is a daily challenge game where: • One mystery NBA player is revealed per day • Players guess using stat-based feedback (team, position, height, age, etc.) • A progressive hint system unlocks with each guess • Players get 6 attempts before entering unlimited mode • Results are shareable to social media • Streaks and performance stats are tracked locally • A percentile ranking shows how you compare to other players that day --- WHAT I NEED BUILT • Fully responsive browser-based game (mobile + desktop) • Frontend: HTML5 + Tailwind CSS + JavaScript (or React) • Backend: Node.js + PostgreSQL or Firebase • Daily athlete system with server-side selection (UTC reset) • Auto-complete player search with predictive dropdown • Color-coded guess feedback grid • Progressive hint system • Local browser storage for streaks and stats • Anonymized global data aggregation for percentile rankings • Social sharing (Facebook, Instagram, X, Text) • Google AdSense / AdMob integration (non-intrusive) • First-time user walkthrough • Disclaimer and cookie notice pages • Admin panel or documented process to update daily athlete • GitHub repo + basic documentation on handoff --- IMPORTANT — LEGAL REQUIREMENTS This project has specific IP constraints that must be followed: • No official NBA logos or team names used anywhere • Teams referenced by city abbreviation only (e.g., CHI, LAL, BOS) • No real player headshots — all player visuals are original caricature-style illustrations (provided separately) • A disclaimer page will be included (copy provided by me) --- IDEAL CANDIDATE • Experience building interactive browser-based games or daily puzzle apps • Comfortable with both frontend and backend development • Portfolio that shows similar projects (games, sports apps, or interactive web tools preferred) • Clean, well-documented code • Strong communicator — I am not a developer, so clear updates matter --- TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE: 1. A link to your most relevant project (browser game, puzzle app, or interactive web app) 2. Your estimated hours and rate broken down by milestone 3. Confirmation that you have read and understood the legal IP constraints above 4. Your preferred tech stack and any questions about the project --- A full project brief with detailed feature specs, milestone timeline, and tech stack recommendations is ready to share upon request. Looking forward to finding the right developer to bring STATS to life.
