- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Firebase
Firebase offers a comprehensive set of features, including real-time database, authentication, hosting, cloud functions, storage, and more. Firebase provides an easy-to-use interface and allows developers to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
