Not a ton to report this time. I am still trying to solve the whole sending emails with attachments to employers who created a job posting on my site. I collect the user's information that is applying for the job, and I can send an email with all the text, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to get the attachments from the react portion to the node portion. To be specific I can get the raw data, but I need to be able to work with the up to two files sent to the backend, that is where the problem lies.
For my emailing API, I switched from MailGun to SendGrid. No particular reason why, I just found a decent Next.JS / SendGrid tutorial. My domain host (GoDaddy) is taking forever to verify the CNAME's from SendGrid, which is a bummer. I can still send emails and test though using a feature of SendGrid's called "Single Sender Verification", which is fine for now. I need to think about the security of my forms though. It has occurred to me that I am probably going to want some way to prevent form spamming. So that will be the next topic to research.
Glory to Ukraine!
