During my time as a student at devCodeCamp, I decided to build a web application that focuses on connecting tech companies to video professionals who focus on producing video tutorials as my capstone project.
As a result of spiraling through ideas and currently working on a #buildinpublic project already, God placed in my heart to refactor the capstone project and finish it to where it is an MVP that people can start to interact with and use. So as any obedient servant of the Lord, I listened and started the refactoring process.
Created a New Github Repo and Created a Next.js App with TypeScript
The original web application was built using the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and this time around I will be building it with the following tech stack:
Next.js + TypeScript
Tailwind CSS + Tailwind UI
Chakra UI
Supabase
So far it has been a smooth sailing experience. I am hoping I can get all the main puzzle pieces put together so I can really focus on connecting the dots by working on a state management implementation and establishing a scalable backend that includes an efficient and secure authentication process.
To get to an MVP in a matter of days, I am tag teaming Tailwind CSS with Tailwind UI to build the frontend in a lego brick style workflow. I highly recommend it if you are looking to bootstrap when time is not your friend (kind of like the situation I currently find myself in.)
Working on the Home page of the Application
Started to also add the grid area that will house some of the most popular and highly-rated video creators on the platform.
So what is next?
Create & Implement a 'How It Works' Section
Create & Implement a Footer Area
Create a Flowchart of how the Sign-Up process will work for both Companies and Creators
Create the Remaining Pages:
Video Creator Directory Page
About Page
Profile Page (for both Company & Creators)
Login + Registration Pages (I think I might make this a modal)*
