Project Overview

Bookworm is built using Next.js, a React framework, and is bootstrapped with create-t3-app. It is a part of the T3 Stack, incorporating TypeScript for static typing and Drizzle ORM for databse operations and NextAuth.js for authentication.

It incorporates the following technologies and features:

• Next.js: Provides server-side rendering and routing capabilities.
• TypeScript: Ensures static typing for a more robust codebase.
• Zustand: Utilized for global state management, enabling efficient data handling across components.
• Stripe: Integrated for secure and seamless payment processing.
• Google OAuth: Used for user authentication and login with Google accounts.
• Drizzle ORM: Utilized for database operations, including PostgreSQL for data storage.

Additional Notes:

• Make sure to have PostgreSQL installed and running on your system or use a cloud-based PostgreSQL service.
