Decide MVP Features

We need to decide which features are most important to get out and which can come in later enhancements.

1. Random monsters from the D&D 5e API get picked

• Should they be matched up based on CR? If the two have different CRs should we add them together until they are equal? Example: 1 Gargoyle (CR 2) vs 2 Harpies (CR 1)

2. Users should be able to cast a vote on who would win in a fight.

Those two are a given, with details that need to be ironed out. The following may or may not make their way into the MVP:
3. Users should be able to argue their decision in a discussion thread

• Is it 100% outward-facing anonymous? Do we assign random names (Like [Adjective] [Monster])? Or do we let people choose their usernames (if so, we'd probably want to auth via google)

Are there any other features you can think of that should be part of the MVP? Is there anything that hasn't been considered yet? Any problems with the existing MVP features?

Technology Decisions

• Backend
  • Auth: Google Firebase
  • Database: Google Firestore
  • Data Source: D&D 5e API
  • Serverless Functions: Next.js
• Frontend
  • Language: Typescript?
  • Framework(s): React?
• Deployment Strategy
  • Likely Github Pages or Netlify
  • Vercel by Next

Based on initial discussion on Discord, the backend is mostly settled already. I have a strong preference for Typescript + React but I'm happy to discuss alternatives
