Why I built this project
I built this project mainly because I wanted to learn about SSR, Typescript and Postgres. Typescript and Postgres is something I haven’t used. I used typescript, although bare minimum, in the API server of this project, not on this one.
This project is in the ending phase, although there are some features that are to be added, and need to do some bug testing.
Missing features
- Password reset system and confirm registration system is missing
