PuzzlePaddy.com

PuzzlePaddy is an ongoing personal project to create a fun and engaging platform for puzzle enthusiasts. It is a Next.js web application delivering interactive games and puzzles with a playful user experience and clean, component-driven design.

The platform is built with React and Tailwind CSS, using server-side rendering where appropriate, and is deployed via a Docker-based CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and webhooks.

Next.js (SSR) • React • TypeScript • Tailwind CSS • Docker • GitHub Actions • Webhook-based deployment
