🎉 You did it! 🎉
Congrats, this is a lot of info all at once, but you can call yourself well equipped to take on any problem with React, server-side or not!
So where do you go from here? Well, here's some fun ideas:
- Take your favorite app here (maybe the Next.js one) and deploy it to a service. Vercel is particularly well equipped for Next.js apps
- Take your database to the cloud! I'm obviously biased towards Neon but any cloud database will work. I actually manage the integration between Vercel and Neon!
- Add more features to your note passing app.
- Add real auth. Neon Auth or Clerk would be two great options so you can actually have real users.
- Make it into more of a Twitter feed so you can follow people and post general notes, not just direct messages.
- Add an admin feature that allows the teacher to remove or edit notes.
- Use something like Llama locally or Claude/ChatGPT to add a summary ability so you feed in all of a user's notes and get back a summary of the notes they've received
Let me know what you build! Tweet/post at me on 𝕏 or Bluesky!
Thank you and go build cool shit!
