nettleship.net

This repository contains the full stack codebase for the Nettleship.net website, including both the client and server components.

This project began in Python a while ago, just so I could play Uno with my friends in class on our laptops. Websites like this already existed, but we wanted our own version that was fully customizable. I managed to get the Python version to a playable state, though the code itself could’ve been better.

I later decided to restart the project in JavaScript, and in doing so, I researched best practices for professional APIs and frontends. My aim is to learn as much about web development as possible.

While rewriting it, I’ve also been taking notes so I can use this code for my A Level Computer Science coursework.
