The problem: SC's official tools won't launch until 2026, but players need to coordinate now - track 100+ ship fleets, schedule ops across timezones, manage alliances, and monitor voice activity during battles.
Interesting challenges solved:
1. Multi-org data isolation - Users join multiple orgs, so every query needs scoping.
2. Canvas + Firebase Storage CORS - Couldn't export fleet layouts as PNG. Solution: fetch images as blobs, convert to base64 data URLs, then draw to canvas. No CORS config needed.
3. Discord bot - Built 4 microservices (VoiceActivityTracker, EventNotifier, ChannelManager, RoleSync) sharing Firebase state. Auto-creates channels for ops, cleans up when done.
Features: role-based access, event calendar with RSVP, LFG matchmaking, drag-and-drop fleet builder, economy tools, alliance system, analytics dashboard, mobile-responsive.
~15 pages, fully functional. Custom military-inspired UI (monospace, gold accents).
