Woogidex
A browser toolkit for designing Fakemon from start to finish, then sharing them in a community hub.
Fakemon makers usually bounce between a spreadsheet, a drawing app, a type chart and a forum. Woogidex puts it in one place: stats, typing, abilities, learnsets, Dex entries and artwork become a Pokédex-style board you can export, publish, or enter into a contest.

The real build of Woogidex, signed in as the shared DevTest account. What you see was recorded from the live site and plays back here, so you can click around the Community Hub, events and profiles. Publishing, comments and anything else that saves are switched off.
Local first, social second
Your collection lives in your browser, so anyone can design and export without an account. The account only appears when you want to publish, comment or enter an event.
The editor knows the games: learnset recommendations, sample competitive sets scored against roles, type matchup analysis, and a block editor for writing what a custom ability actually does.

Exo 2 for everything, from the logo-adjacent headings to the stat tables. A field notebook: warm paper, dark ink, one violet for actions. Type colours are the only other colour on the page.

- Hand-drawn only. AI art is not allowed, and community art is shielded from scraping.

Thought process
- 01
Scratch my own itch
Designing a Fakemon meant juggling a spreadsheet, a type chart and a drawing app. One tool for the whole job was the goal.
- 02
Local first
Nobody should need an account to start. The collection lives in the browser and the account only appears when you want to share.
- 03
Make it know the games
Learnset suggestions, sample sets and type analysis turn a form into a helper that understands what you are making.

Protect the artists
Fan artists worry about scraping and AI, so art is shielded and AI art is not allowed. Trust is part of the design.
