Project Details

A comprehensive full-stack blog solution that combines modern authentication practices with seamless content management. As a frontend developer eager to expand into fullstack development, I chose Supabase for its perfect alignment with Next.js, making it an ideal bridge to learn backend concepts while leveraging familiar React patterns. This project demonstrates end-to-end implementation from database design to authentication flows and admin interfaces.

Challenge

Transition from frontend-focused development to fullstack by creating a secure, scalable blog platform that handles authentication, user roles, and content management while maintaining excellent performance and developer experience. The challenge was learning backend security patterns and database design while implementing proper authentication with Supabase, all while keeping the codebase clean and maintainable.

Solution

Developed a full-stack solution using Next.js 16 with server-side authentication via Supabase SSR, implemented role-based access control (admin/user), created a comprehensive admin dashboard for post and user management, and utilized ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) for optimal blog performance. Supabase's TypeScript-first approach and tight Next.js integration allowed me to build complex backend features while staying in familiar territory, making the frontend-to-fullstack transition smooth and efficient.
