find-the-state-api VS FastAPI-template

Hi there - I made a little game in React called Find the State. Goal is to find all the contiguous U.S. States on a map. Frontend and Backend code is open sourced.

Long story short - there was this iPad game I played like 5 years back that just had you find States on a map. I really liked it, but it was buggy and eventually stopped even being served on the app store.

While playing it, I found that my knowledge of where all the states were was really awful. I kinda just assumed I knew where all the states were. It was fun playing it a bunch and getting a lot better.

So I decided to make my own version that tried to keep everything really simple and that could be used as a kinda tool to workout your U.S. "geography" muscle.

Comes complete with old-timey music and a high-score (fastest-time, number correct in-a-row) scoreboard.

Totally down to answer any question on the code or anything.

I'm pretty partial to s3rius's template boiler plate. Used it while contracting a while back and it just tackled everything I'd want for the first few months leaving me time to focus on CRUD / business logic instead of Devops stuff. Do wish it used ruff but that was an ultra easy swap.

I found myself rebuilding a lot of basic stuff such as sign up, login, async database functionality and unit tests every time I wanted to quickly POC something. Now I like to keep things simple and customisable when starting and thus usually don't opt for using one of the already existing templates (such as this great generator: https://github.com/s3rius/FastAPI-template) since I feel I spend more time cutting stuff out I don't need.
