Pocket Frogs Database

An unofficial, searchable database of information for the mobile game Pocket Frogs.

This website is a continuation of my Google Spreadsheet, meant to present the data better and allow for a smoother experience (that's also less reliant on Google).

This website is also two terrible things combined — a work in progress and vibe-coded. Please be patient while I work out the kinks and improve the experience. If you feel the urge to help out, I'm throwing this up here for contributions. The Google Sheet won't go away until I feel I've hit feature parity, and beyond that I plan to keep it up for quite some time so that people reroute to the new site properly. I have some experience with change management (mostly on the recieving end...) so I'll use it to the best of my ability.

I am also newer to Github, especially managing a repo. Please don't hesitate to reach out and start a conversion in whatever way feels right, I'm happy to take input and make changes since this entire project is comunnity-driven at its heart.

Changelog (public/changelog.json)

The App Updates panel on the homepage pulls from two sources:

1. Automatic — the latest iOS version is fetched live from the Apple App Store API by the worker. It appears automatically whenever a new version ships.
2. Manual — older entries are read from public/changelog.json. The worker deduplicates by version number so the live entry never appears twice.

Adding an entry

Add new entries at the top of the array, above any existing ones.

[
  {
    "version": "3.9.0",
    "date": "2025-03-10T00:00:00Z",
    "platform": "both",
    "notes": "• New frog habitats\n• Bug fixes"
  },
  {
    "version": "3.8.0",
    "date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "platform": "both",
    "notes": "Example older entry."
  }
]

Format rules

• Newest entry at the top of the array
• Commas go after each } except the very last entry
• Line breaks in notes must be written as \n — actual newlines inside a JSON string will break the file
• date must be ISO 8601 format: "YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z" — just swap the date portion
• platform accepts "ios", "android", or "both" — not currently displayed in the UI but kept for reference
