Purpose and Goal
The purpose of ToGoalx was to apply my knowledge of Next.js, TypeScript, Firebase and other front-end technologies, such as React.js, to build a practical, real-world web application. My goal in building this project was not only to create a functional app that simplifies goal management but also to gain hands-on experience with these technologies.
Challenges and My Approach
Real-time Updates and Interactivity: The need for real-time updates across the dashboard meant ensuring efficient backend communication without lag. I leveraged modern frontend frameworks and asynchronous processing to ensure a smooth and intuitive user experience.
Tracking Goal Progress: Accurately tracking progress across multiple goals requires a robust system. To ensure clarity, I built a progress tracker that tracks completion rates of different goals in real-time.
Creating an Intuitive User Interface: Designing an interface that balances simplicity with powerful features was a challenge. To solve this, I focused on minimalistic design principles, ensuring that users could easily navigate between goal-setting, tracking, and reviewing progress without feeling lost or overwhelmed.
What I’ve learnt
Deepened my understanding of Next.js, effectively utilising its server-side rendering and dynamic routing to enhance performance and user experience.
Strengthened my proficiency in TypeScript by implementing strict typing and ensuring robust, maintainable code.
Mastered the integration of Firebase, using it to handle real-time data synchronisation, user authentication, and secure data storage.
Developed a responsive, interactive UI that delivers a seamless user experience, applying modern development practices throughout.
This project allowed me to successfully apply my technical knowledge in a real-world context, achieving my goal of building a scalable and user-friendly application while enhancing my skills in Next.js and related technologies.
