Added recruits and a recruits tab to do automatic trading
Rearranged several components
Launched to Vercel!

Need to add: OAuth + DB, achievements, levels/some way to track progress, leaderboards (?), + balancing finances because right now there's a very clear way to grow wealth easy
My first react-based game! CRiDO is an interactive tycoon-style game where you mine cryptocurrency, convert it into cash, trade stocks, and grow your net worth. Inspired by classics like Cookie Clicker and also a Summer of Making project called <https://cryptotycoon.vercel.app"> defi Empire - Web3 Tycoon (I could not find the OG maker :(( ), CRiDO lets players upgrade systems, build a trading team, and experiment with market mechanics, all in a playful, fun environment.
Created basic frontend functionality, with quotes! And also added PNG download option, as seen in the image.
In 2023, I used to use this year-in-pixels tracker online and loved it, until it got taken down and lost support. Then, I realized it's a fun and quick project to make and would test my skills! I restricted myself intentionally to one hour max for a bit of a challenge, and also chose to try to use as little AI as possible, but it did help me with some of the boilerplate and logic. OAuth & Backend to be implemented soon!
Deployed to vercel!
- Added carousel components
- Added tech stack stuff
- Added everything heh
Created landing page mockup + began recreating in VSC via nextJS
This project started as a way to relearn webdev before HT6, but evolved into a learning journey where I used AI as little as possible and created a portfolio basically from scratch! It uses vercel for hosting and is built on NextJS. It may not be the most useful or technically impressive project out there, but the learning journey was definitely worth it.
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
