I started with a quick prototype in Lovable, with a dark, esports-style look focused on TFT rankings. That early version let me test the core ideas, tier filtering and Riot ID integration, before I invested in the real thing. Once those held up, I scaled it into a custom, multi-game dashboard with proper sorting and bulk-refresh logic. Prototyping first meant I built the full app on top of decisions I'd already pressure-tested instead of guessing.
