Klink
A Norwegian drinking game in the browser, built solo from idea to production. Custom game packs, player names woven into the cards, and a lime-green look that stands out from the rest.
Klink is a Norwegian drinking game played right in the browser, with no download and no account. I build it in my spare time, and it started as a sandbox for shipping something entirely from idea to production on my own. Now it's an app I use myself.
What it is
You add players, pick a game pack, and the app deals cards one by one with the player names woven in where they're needed. The packs range from classics like "Never have I ever" and the pointing game to custom party questions, and you can add your own questions along the way. The deck is shuffled with Fisher-Yates, so the order is actually random. Minimum two players, and 18+.
Technical choices
- Next.js App Router with TypeScript
- Supabase for game packs, cards and admin login
- Player state in sessionStorage and React Context. No database persistence per session, so there's zero friction to start a new game
- Vercel for hosting and ISR
- A distinct lime-green look, deliberately chosen to stand out from what already exists
Why
I wanted a side project where I control the entire stack, from database schema to deploy, without having to deal with other people's conventions. Klink is as much a technical playground as it is a product. When I want to test a new Next.js feature or an architecture idea, this is where it happens first.
