Doggy Names matches canine names to attributes such as breed, colour, and sex, combining stored data with contributions from visitors. Contributors see candidate names with attribute options; aggregated choices refine the matching logic over time.

Next.js covers rendering and API routes; PostgreSQL stores relations between names and attributes and supports analytical queries. The database runs on a Debian host on Vultr, which entailed routine administration, backup, and security configuration.

The site includes simple visualisations of popularity and contribution activity. The project was an early full-stack exercise in Next.js with a production database deployment.
