Sportsball Games

One-tap sports pools for game day. 📱
Built with Firebase, React + TypeScript.
In the dugout: Cursor + Claude Sonnet.

Live schema upgrades, zero downtime. We alert users, enter read-only mode, block edits, migrate the DB, deploy new code—then force a reload. Smooth for users, solid for scale.

Overbuild today, futureproof tomorrow.

🧵 Turns out it only happened when Chrome DevTools was open — React Dev Tools kicked in and triggered the function again, with different arguments. Without DevTools open? No issue.

We stopped computing game status based on clock math. Our schema now tracks it directly (pending, live, final) in Firestore. Now, the UI listens in real time — no more polling or reloads.

Firebase + React + TypeScript + AI (Claude, Cursor) = fast, fan-ready fronted.
