Hacker's inspiration headquarter

I’m planning to ship a prototype version of Kindling to get some feedback before I fully develops it. Everything on the front end is working fine, I just haven’t developed a database and all the login credentials stuff. I am planning to store all the data in Supabase database and implement user login (like email, google login etc)
So in this devlog, I pushed all the changes and current version of the code to my Github repo and wrote the README. I also deployed the current Version on Vercel.

To give yall a better demo experience, I decided to implement the backend storage along with the front-end with my first ship.
So now users will be able to:

1. Edit their profile
2. Add their own creations/projects
3. Add new ideas to the inspirations page

However, for now the storage is only to the local browser (just for demo purposes). I will be creating a formal backend via supabase later, but that will be included in the second ship. So this is pretty much what I’ve been working on for this devlog.

Will be cleaning up the code a bit and the first ship be ready!

I enabled some more features to my websites, mostly just finishing up some small parts and making some UI actually work properly.

1. I added a save button to the inspiration posts and whenever the user click on the save button it will save to the “collections” tab on the Profile page.
2. I also made the search bar finally working, so it is now properly filtering inspo posts based on the title and details.
3. I also made the filtering by category work. Currently I only have the 5 categories shown in the photo, but feel free to give me more recommendations.

I added some more features and enables some buttons. I added pop up modals for the “add project” and “edit profile” button on the profile page. And I also changed the layout of the content of the inspirations popup modal (because it was previously just randomly generated content by AI).
Still have a few things to finalize and update, but once that is done, the front-end should be somewhat presentable.

I added a featured projects section to the home page, and built out the basic structure of the profile page. Still have to enable some buttons and add some popup pages (like the settings, edit profile etc) to the profile page.
The current placeholder contents for all the inspirations/ideas are all AI generated. I’m planning to leave the for the product demo. Once users start using this website, they will be removed.
Once all the front-end is finalized, I’m planning to ship the first version as a brief product demo to get some feedback before I start building and connecting to the backend.

I added the About page and filled it in with my own content (instead of making AI to give me some temporary filler content). I also enabled some more functionalities in the Inspirations page, like the “add” button. I also replaced some of the previously AI generated filler content with actual contents.
There’s still a lot of functionalities I need to add. Once all frontend is done, I will start working on the backend.

This is my new project! I am always struggling to come up with fun and creative things to code, either just for fun or for hackathons. However, I have ,any friends and younger siblings who always like to give me ideas of what to build. So this inspired me to create this coding projects idea hub.

The goal is: users can upload cool hackathon project ideas that come to their mind, or issues they have in their life that they want to get a software application to solve, or ideas of software applications that can solve real world issues.

This not only helps hackers build meaningful projects, but also allows people who don’t know how to code to express their needs or wishes.

I do plan to continue running this website once it is finished, and potentially scale it up. Of course, I still need to think more about the details like crediting, privacy, and business potential if I do push this out to the public.
For this first ship, I’m just working on building the major framework and structure. Currently have the inspirations page basic layout finished, still working on the other to pages. I used AI to populate the content for now, as I can’t come up with so many project ideas so quickly lol.
