My process

Built with

• Next.js - React framework with SSR
• MongoDB - For database
• Prisma - ORM for mongodb
• TailwindCSS - For styles
• Recoil - For state management
• TypeScript

What I learned

Using Next.js with Prisma and MongoDB was a new experience for me and I learned a lot from it.

export async function getServerSideProps() {
  const feedbackList = await prisma.feedback.findMany();

  return {
    props: { feedbackList },
  };
}

Continued development

Planning to add authintication using auth0 and add more features like search and more filters
