yummf

• Yummf is a recipe recommendation feed with a community discussion forum.
• Frontend still works, but backend doesn't due to the shutting down of free Heroku instances :(

Notes:

I rewrote this project three times, once in Django, Ruby on Rails, and finally TypeScript/NextJS (web_v3 folder). Deployed a PostgreSQL database on Digital Ocean, and implemented Amazon S3 for all media storage. 100 lighthouse score for SEO and 95+ lighthouse performance score on all pages. Implemented a clean design with TailwindCSS.

Versions

• Django version: https://github.com/kevbuh/cookbook

• Ruby On Rails: https://github.com/kevbuh/yummf/tree/main/api

• NextJS version: https://github.com/kevbuh/yummf/tree/main/web_v3

Goals met

• Deployed Rails API to Fly.io instance and created a Postgres database cluster using a docker image
• Implemented Google Oauth2 for one-tap sign-ins and account creation and Mixpanel analytics
• Configured cursor pagination in SQL for infinite scroll and Stripe subscription to process subscriptions
• Used JWT tokens to verify all requests to a custom-built REST API in Ruby on Rails using Doorkeeper and Devise
