crowdr

The idea behind crowdr is to serve as a Next.js playground to explore the new Next.js 13 features.

crowdr is a tool for tracking, managing, and viewing crowdfunding projects that users have supported. The application is built using Next.js and Prisma.

⚠ crowdr is a proof of concept.

I found the original inspiration in the FrontendMasters Next.js course by Scott Moss, but I significantly rewrote the code and changed the architeture to allow for testing.

Some of the changes include:

strict type checking (TypeScript)
architecture changes & refactoring
unit testing with jest & testing library
parallel data fetching for the home page with Suspense boundaries
Alert & Modal Dialogs without external dependencies
ability to add a reward to a project
bug fixes and minimally adjusted styling

The logo comes from undraw. 🩷
