Devlog: Sportválasztó
What is this project?
Sportválasztó (Hungarian for “Sport Selector”) is a website I’ve been building to solve a problem that’s been bothering me for a long time: in Hungary, finding a sports club is genuinely awful. There’s no good, centralized, user-friendly way to browse sports and find a club that actually fits what you’re looking for. So I decided to build one myself.
Timeline
I actually started working on this project last fall, long before I joined Hack Club. It’s been a side project I come back to whenever I have the time and motivation for it, so progress has been steady but not constant — more of a “work on it in bursts” kind of project than a daily grind. Joining the Stardance Challenge felt like a great excuse to pick it back up with more focus and actually push it forward.
Tech stack
I’m keeping things simple and dependency-free:
HTML for structure
CSS for styling
JavaScript — all vanilla, no frameworks or libraries
No React, no build tools, no bloat. Just the raw basics, which honestly was not the best decision, but at the time I started I had no clue about any frameworks existing.
A small honest note
One thing worth mentioning: the site itself is in Hungarian, since it’s built for Hungarian users trying to find local sports clubs. I know Hack Club’s community and platform are primarily English-speaking, so there’s a bit of a language mismatch between the project and the challenge. I’m keeping the devlogs in English, but the actual product stays Hungarian, because that’s who it’s meant to serve.
What’s next
I’ll keep posting updates here as I keep building — adding features, improving the design, and (hopefully) making it easier than ever for people in Hungary to find a sport and a club that’s right for them.
