What is the motivation to join API and Next.js app? This does not look like an improvement

[ItzCrazyKns]

There were lots of connection errors between the backend and frontend causing lots of errors. You can see the amount of issues this closed and there are still pending issues which haven't caught my eyes

[ItzCrazyKns]

It also decreases the number of containers that are running, makes the total download size less and makes the project easier to maintain.

If the backend is gone, does that mean everything like history, settings, etc is now local? Or is some stuff still server side?

[ItzCrazyKns]

What do you exactly mean by local? It was earlier local as well, it is now handled by Next.js's route handlers instead of having a separate backend.

[ProjectMoon]

Completely local to the browser. Was search history stored on the server, or only in localStorage?

Everything is handled by the server, we've just moved from an external server to Next.js's server

[raymond9zhou]

Thanks for the great job you have done, making the project more maintainable. What about the idea of integrating a real authentication function? Next.js makes it easier to accomplish. If it’s under your consideration, maybe I can offer some help.

[ItzCrazyKns]

I plan to add it but also need a way to disable it for users who don't want it. Maintaining both ends will be a pain so I need to think about it.
