Building FinSaver for Hack-R-Play 😎

React Nhost Next.js Hasura
  1. 1
    A JavaScript library for building user interfaces
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I have been working with ReactJS for about 2 years. When NextJS was launched, I was eager to learn about the benefits of creating apps with it. The "Learn" section of their documentation helped me get the crux of NextJS. However, I hadn't used them on any project until now. Since Hack-R-Play's guidelines mentioned using React-based libraries, I decided to practically put my understanding of NextJS into use in this project! One of the features of NextJS that I liked is the way they have integrated routing.

    Firebase alternative (open-source) with GraphQL
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Another reason for me to eagerly participate in this hackathon was to get started with nhost. I must applaud their commendable documentation. It was butter smooth for me to get started and immediately feel confident about how I wanted to structure the backend for my application. The option of providing custom hooks for the NextJS application is the cherry on the cake moment for me 😃. Additionally, the integration with Hasura console made it very easy for me to work with GraphQL API. Understanding user roles and permissions was something new that I learnt. I was able to customize authorization for a different set of users based on their roles.
