Introduction

This site is all about using data about Tranmere Rovers, and presenting it in different ways.

The site is strictly non-commercial, it's more about playing around with technology than it is about creating a genuine fansite.

Architecture

The site started as a lockdown project as basic static site hosted on Amazon S3.

The latest version is built using Next.JS and published using Cloudflare Workers and D1

Authentication is provided by Auth0.

The site uses a variety of Generative AI functionality - mostly built using Open AI's Codex tool. Plater profiles and match reports are written using ChatGPT.
