Help Wanted: Full Migration to Next.js for Modern Dev Snippet App

Hello there! I’m working on Snippets Library, a modern open-source platform to manage, share, and explore code snippets.

We’re planning a full migration to Next.js (v2 branch) and looking for contributors to join the journey.
The current codebase needs a glow-up, and Next.js is the future we’re moving toward. If you’re into modern web stacks and want a cool project to contribute to hop in!

Goals for the migration:

  1. Replace current frontend with a full Next.js app (latest version)
  2. Convert backend APIs into Next.js API Routes
  3. Migrate routing into the /app or /pages structure
  4. Add SEO optimization with next/head or metadata files
  5. Use SSG / SSR / ISR as needed for performance
  6. Use NextAuth.js for auth
  7. Move styling into a clean layout with Tailwind CSS
  8. Cleanup legacy code and unused packages
  9. Fully use TypeScript

What we want the final result to look like:

  1. Fully functional snippet creation/editing/browsing
  2. Clean, documented, production-ready code
  3. Secure auth + protected routes
  4. Fast and SEO-friendly load times
  5. Unit-tested critical features
  6. Solid database integration
  7. Deploy-ready with no critical bugs
