Welcome to version 3.0 of Dereck's Notes. Dereck's Notes has been reconstructed with a new and modern technical stack to integrate new features and improve maintainability. The adaptation from a static site to one that includes server-side functionalities allows the implementation of new features such as user accounts and comments.
The technology stack has been modified in version 3.0 to cater to the new functionalities and to streamline the development process.
- Next.js: Adopted for its capabilities in server-side rendering, facilitating better SEO and performance.
- TypeScript: Employed for its static typing.
- React: Utilised for UI components.
- MDX: Chosen for content writing, combining markdown with React.
- Styled-components: Used for styling components.
- Express: Provides a framework for web and API applications.
- Mongoose: Facilitates MongoDB object modelling.
- Redis: Manages session storage, utilising
connect-redis. - Multer: Handles file uploads (
multipart/form-data). - Bcrypt: Secures passwords by hashing them before database storage.
- MongoDB: Accommodates data storage needs.
- Redis: Manages persistent session storage.
- Nginx: Serves static files, manages reverse proxying, caching, and load balancing.
The implementation of user accounts facilitates personalized interactions with the site. Visitors can now create accounts, log in, and engage in more interactive features.
With user accounts in place, visitors can contribute to the community by leaving comments on blog posts, facilitating discussions, and sharing insights.
With the use of React, the UI has been enhanced with interactive elements, such as the blog post filter, the dictionary search functionality and more!
