Project Background

I previously created a word finder with my countdown-solver but I was no longer happy with a number of things:

• Outdated versions of .NET and React
• Use of Sqlite (great tool, but not the best choice for what I would like to do with this project)
• Old version of CRA and sub-par implementation of a PWA
• Word solver lacks filters that would make it useful for other games
• Slow build times
• Not integrated into my latest tools and processes

By re-implementing the solution I had a chance to try out Vite for the front-end tooling, upgraded all the tech, and added some helpful filters for use with other games. I also took the opportunity to increase my Typescript and Material UI skills.
