Shipping a joke-rating app in 24 hours

This week, I was thrilled to gain an amazing following on Bluesky, and as a token of appreciation for the incredible support, I decided to dive into a quick and fun #buildinpublic project.

Less than 24 hours later, I launched PunPal.net 🚀

The goal?

To inspire others to create fun, creative apps and bring energy to the community by #buildinginpublic.

The result?

A humour hub to pick your favourite puns, vote anonymously, and see which jokes top the charts!

The challenge?

Building a quick, interactive MVP with features like a random joke fetcher, voting system, and leaderboard.

The lesson?

Debugging an app under public scrutiny is very stressful, but it was all worth it when I saw the app go live. Following some deployment hurdles, we ended up with a fully functional MVP, complete with action feedback, vote counts, and a responsive UI.
