Best things happen casually.

I was helping some friends organizing the Buttrio 's summer sport torunament (Balonade), and we were discussing about how to manage teams subriptions.

First idea was to build a form, but being honest, the result was a bit clumsy.

Example of the form mentioned earlier

Then I realized that, as a Frontend developer with a considerate eye for UX, i couldn't live with that. If I was a user and had to enroll the tournament using that form, i would have gone crazy.

Situation:

1. Not much time
2. First time to launch something in production on my own
3. Didn't know what tech stack to use

GAAADAMIT (Why do i love putting myself in this situations)

After some research, I decided to use the following tech stack:

| Experience | Name | | ---------- | ------------ | | New | Next JS | | 2y exp | React | | New | Tailwind CSS | | New | Xata.io | | New | UploadThing |

Sketching time

Focus points:

• One
• Two
• Three
• -- Image ui sketch ---

I asked for some feedback from the organizing body and they were really hyped.

I had my green light to start building.

Love and hate

Nextjs seemed a great choice in order to build and deploy both frontend and backend at light speed.

After a few tutorials, and some Bestemmie, i realized that they had just released the 13th version, and the tutorials wereoutdated.

Ookay, never mind. I got it. After that i really loved NextJs and it Developer experience.

Also its documentation is really well explained and easy to follow.
