Introduction
So it has been a while since I got introduced to web development and the community. Wrote my first line of simple code back in 2016 but only formerly started coding in 2020 when I was doing my first year in varsity. I have been contemplating this whole side project thing for making my portfolio look appealing to prospective employers. Finally found a simple project to do: A Student Accommodation Booking Portal.
Why??
I was recently trying to apply for accommodation and one of the residences didn't have a booking system. They were simply using a Google Forms to collect user information and to process everything. So I thought why not build a simple web app for them.
Then What??
In doing so, I opted for the following technologies when building this project:
Core Technologies:
- React/NextJS
- Tailwindcss
- Prisma
- TypeScript
- SQLite DB
- NextAuth
Experimental Technologies:
These are technologies that I am interested in learning/working with but currently unsure.
- tRPC
- GraphQL
- Zustand
Features
This particular platform will include the following features:
- Authentication (Google, Facebook, Email Magic Link) - Powered by NextAuth
- Role-based Auth
Profile Creation and Editing
Viewing of all the properties
Application for accommodation and editing of application
Application Status tracking
Space Availability tracking
Progress?
So far not a lot has been done except for the following:
- project initialization with typescript
- adding tailwindcss
- adding and initializing prisma and schema
- adding nextauth
- setting up Google OAuth Credentials

For now it's back to coding. Part 2 coming soon... cheers 🤘🤘
