Club.to - a platform for clubs in campus to post their events and activities.

Well I build this app mainly to learn Next.js and Cloud Firestore. I'm kinda lazy to think of any cool idea so I just use this idea which I got from my lecturer. As my main focus here is to master Next, so there's no guarantee that I'll ever complete this (before I jump to other new idea, cliche but yeah). But I will try my best to complete what I have in mind.

How to Run

First, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/CharaeKeow/clubto.git

And simply cd to the directory and install dependencies:

yarn install

Once it's done, run the development server:

yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

My thoughts

Here I write my thoughts when doing this project so far

Auth is harder than I thought Seems like there is many thigns that is needed to be taken care of regarding authentication and handling users identity and profile. And I still haven't taking into account any security factors yet 😣. First, I struggle to find ways to implement Firebase Auth. Besides, I got more confuse whether I should do it on server-side (SSR) or client. So I tried using next-firebase-auth in my project as I think it is easier to use a library to handle this rather than doing from scratch. However, as I am new to Next and using Firebase with it, I feel that using next-firebase-auth feels like high level and most of the time I just follow the docs without following what's going on behind the sense. Thus, I am thinking of doing auth from scratch, i.e. I know what's going on and also probably have more control (because I know what's happening so easier to change and add more feature). Luckily, I found this excellent course by Lee Robinson, so I've been following this for implementing the auth. And so far I've successfully add the auth and at the same time am confident enough to tweak things here and there.
