Design comparison
Solution retrospective
Hey all...
I'm beginning to think about creating my portfolio. I was thinking that many people would have the same content as me as FrontEndMentor is a popular web dev school. I decided to use the initial design, but change it to make it look more original... I also decided to expand the functionality. This is the result.. I hope you like it.. its not designed for small screens really... larger screens are a better experience.
This is a full-stack solution:
I used Nextjs 13, MUI, MongoDB, TailwindCSS, TMDB, Mongoose, and a number of smaller UI libraries including React Youtube, Toastify, and Swiper.
**edit I removed the session lock to open the additional features (video selection). The sign-in feature now only unlocks bookmarking, and the option to save and retrieve bookmarks across your devices. I used MongoDB and NextAuth for this.
Happy Coding! :)

Great job David. This is a perfect piece for a Portfolio Project. Create one or two more and put them on your personal website. You can start applying with such kind of projects in my opinion. Prepare yourself to defend your project to answer critical questions why you have made some decisions and why you did it that way and if there might be room for improvements. Critical thinking is a skill companies will look for. I wish you good luck on your job search soon ;D

Great project, I am thinking about creating a portolio aswell, your project makes me insecure, so you don't have a job yet? with knowing all of those techs?

Thanks for the comment
I haven't actually even applied for a job yet. I don't think im ready tbh... feel like i know nothing. I'm thinking i will build some more stuff and learn some more concepts/tools over the next few months and start applying for jobs early next year.
I also need some more practice in 'not' writing spaghetti code haha
1@alexander-hergertPosted about 1 year ago@DavidIrvine-TW Honestly you will never feel ready since you notice how much new things you always learn doing a project. You always will have this feeling I might need to learn that and this too before applying. But a lot will also be learned on the job. So do not hesitate to long ;)
