HTMX Web3 Gaming DApp Frontend

Job ID: 40131856

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

I’m building a browser-based Web3 gaming dApp and need a production-ready frontend written entirely with HTMX (and any companion libraries you normally pair with it, such as hyperscript or Alpine.js, if helpful). Solidity contracts and back-end APIs are already covered; your role is to craft the interactive layer that players will actually see and feel.

Core gameplay revolves around multiplayer sessions, in-game purchases, a global leaderboard with achievements, rich social features (chat, friends/buddies lists, quick invites), and a dedicated poker room. Every screen—from lobby to live table—must load fast, degrade gracefully without JavaScript bloat, and interact seamlessly with on-chain calls (wallet connect, signature pop-ups, token approvals, etc.).

What I expect you to ship
• Responsive HTMX components for lobby, game room, leaderboard, shop, and chat panels
• Clean HTML5/CSS (utility frameworks welcome) that renders consistently across major browsers
• Integration hooks for Web3 wallet providers so transactions flow smoothly from UI to smart contract
• Clear build/run instructions and a concise read-me so I can spin it up locally and in staging without surprises

Acceptance criteria
1. No page refreshes during normal play; HTMX swaps must handle state.
2. Leaderboard, inventory, and chat update in real time via server-sent events or websockets.
3. Code passes Lighthouse performance audits (desktop and mobile) at 90+ scores out of the box.
4. UI tested in latest Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

If you’ve shipped HTMX-driven apps before—especially anything Web3 or multiplayer—let’s talk. I’m ready to start as soon as I see a brief proposal and links to comparable work.
