Scoresheet App

In my family, card games were a staple growing up—but keeping score was always a hassle. We’d scramble for scratch paper, argue over math, and usually pass the task to some unlucky player. I built Scoresheet to solve that problem: an easy-to-use app that automates scorekeeping and works anywhere, even offline.

Project Goals

• Prioritize a mobile-first, tap-friendly interface.
• Make the app installable as a Progressive Web App (PWA).
• Ensure offline functionality using local storage and service workers.
• Avoid any need for user accounts or backends.
• Keep it simple enough that anyone could start using it in seconds.
• Provide a free experience, without ads.

From Prototype to MVP

I started by creating wireframes and mockups in Figma. Once I had a clear flow, I shared the prototype with family members to see whether it would actually be useful in real game sessions. I implemented additional features based their feedback, and I moved on to development.

Tech Stack and Implementation

Version 1 of Scoresheet lasted a few years and was used by a handful of people. There were some features and design changes that needed to be made, as well as upgrading from Svelte 3 to Svelte 5. I did some more redesign and got additional feedback before starting working on the current version, v2.0.

Key tech choices:

• Svelte & SvelteKit
• Bootstrap for consistent, lightweight UI components
• Figma for quick prototyping
• Service workers for offline support
• Localstorage for persisting game state without a backend

Iteration and Design System

In version 2, I refactored the app using a personal design system and component library—many of which are shared across this portfolio. This improved consistency and reduced redundant development. I also began migrating parts of the app to Svelte 5 to explore its new reactivity model and optimize component structure.

Results

Scoresheet has become a go-to app for family game nights. It’s simple, fast, and works offline—exactly what I set out to build. I’m hoping to share this app with more people to see what additional features, if any are needed to make game night a more enjoyable experience.
