A simple set of Pokémon tools, built for myself. The first is a head-to-head comparison of two Pokémon's base stats.
Live at statmon.noahparknguyen.workers.dev.
I was playing through the mainline Pokémon games and wanted a quick way to see which of two Pokémon had the better stats. The sites I found for it were either a bit slow and clunky, or bloated with more than I needed for a simple comparison. So I built a lighter version of my own — minimal, quick, and clear.
Everything comes from PokéAPI, pulled once at build time into a local JSON file; the sprites and artwork are downloaded and committed to the repo. So the site makes zero API calls at runtime — it's just static files. Search, the stat math, and the type matchups all run against that local dataset.
React + Vite, Tailwind (CSS-first tokens), React Router, plain JavaScript. Deployed on Cloudflare Workers as static assets.
I keep my working notes in docs/ — the original brainstorm, the design system, and a dated decision log for why things are built the way they are. If you want to see how I think through a project, start with the decision log.
